    Summary

    All Oikawa has ever wanted is to be one of Tokyo's top heroes. Unfortunately, he's always been at a disadvantage. He isn't super strong or super fast, he can't fly, and he doesn't have flashy, crowd-pleasing powers like some of his peers. Still, he does the best he can with what he has, and he thinks he's doing just fine.

    His agent disagrees.

    Oikawa gets roped into a working contract with one of the top five heroes in Tokyo; which, in theory, would be a good way for him to gain popularity.

    The problem is the hero he gets stuck with; Valor, aka Ushijima Wakatoshi.

    Oikawa already dislikes him on general principle, and meeting him only makes things worse. Oikawa wants nothing more than to work his way through this new contract and get on with his life. He doesn't need Ushijima, of all people, to help him climb the hero ranks. He can do just fine on his own.

    Except, as their contract wears on, Oikawa begins to realize that becoming popular isn't what matters most. It isn't about fame, and it isn't about gaining fans. Hero work is about something much more important, and as he spends more time with Ushijima, he learns what being a hero is truly about.

    Summary

    Oikawa never liked Ushijima.

    At least, until he accidentally started sleeping with him.

    Oikawa convinces himself that the sex isn't a problem. It's just a night here and there with no strings attached. They don't even have to like each other.

    But the more time they spend together, the more Oikawa realizes it's impossible to hate someone like Ushijima.

    Summary

    Oikawa expects that his time in prison won't be the best two years of his life. What he doesn't expect is an antisocial cellblock, a half-crazed redhead who insists on befriending him, and the wildcard boss of Block Three who builds a grudge against him on day one. Worst of all is the menacing Iwaizumi Hajime, to whom Oikawa becomes an unwilling cellmate. Iwaizumi is coarse, unpleasant, and makes it quite clear that he wants nothing to do with Oikawa.

    At first, anyway.

    Within the first few months of his stay, Oikawa gets caught up in a war between cellblocks, becomes a prime target, and must decide just how far he's willing to go to protect Iwaizumi Hajime.
