    Summary

    “I just-... I don’t think I’m easy to love.”

    “Mm,” his quiet hum that he did so often. The sound of him trying to parcel his words. She loved that sound. “Can I try anyway?”

    So much time had passed since that day. She had proven herself right. He had tried. At the end of all things, though, she was not someone who could be loved. Not fully. Not without wearing a mask.

    She had proven herself right too many times to count.

    That didn't make it stop hurting.

    OR - A story of a break up, mental health struggles, and eventual reconciliation. Momo Ayase's journey to realize that she isn't as bad as she thinks she is. And Ken Takakura's journey to show him that he had meant every vow he had ever made to her.

    No matter how much time has passed, they just can't quite seem to let go of each other.

    Summary

    “Well, maybe all of you are wrong,” Ayase yells, appearing suddenly in the doorway, Seiko skidding to a stop behind her.
    “And how’s that?” Seiko fires back, striding back to her corner. Ken braces himself for the inevitable ‘because we’re just friends, and it’ll never–’
    “Because we’re already dating!”

    or, how a bet ruined (or maybe not?) Takakura Ken's life

    Summary

    Asriel finally laughed, and Dess was able to smile. They still had years before they had to worry about college, but this small town was suffocating them both. Asriel wasn’t meant to be propped on a pedestal, and Dess wasn’t meant to be stuck under the ladder.

    “We’ll make it work, wherever we end up. You’ll still always be my best friend.”

    [What an odd thing to recall from a world away.]

    Summary

    Two years have passed since they last saw each other, and he sees her by chance sleeping at the library. At first glance, it seems as though they have both grown and matured as college students, and Saiki is relieved to discover that Teruhashi has finally decided to move on from him.

    He is.

    No, really, he is.

    At least, that’s what he tells himself. So what is this strange feeling?
