Summary
Kojiro only smiles, working himself out of his pants and underthings. “I’m taking the rest of the day off,” he says, in the yes-chef voice he might use on his crew. “I’m having a family emergency--” he does so love to be able to say family--”and my husband needs taking care of. So, I’m here, and there’s no use in you complaining.”
“Oh,” rasps Kaoru, “you bastard, you foolish extravagant bastard.” His tone fluctuates like an old scale, not quite on balance between love and irritation. There is something like a smile on his lips, and all Kojiro wants is to kiss it away.
Sometimes, sleep evades Kaoru, and work becomes the only thing that matters. His husband, though, won't let that stand.

Summary
Sure, maybe Kaoru and Kojiro hadn’t explicitly said that they were dating.
But they knew every detail about each other – they had a lifetime of memories together (and the photos to prove it), knew each other’s families, had keys to each other's apartments, not to mention the fact that they bickered like an old married couple – their friends really had to be dense not to pick up on any of that.
Point was, a relationship reveal was greatly overdue.
Or,
5 times Kaoru tried to reveal that he's dating Kojiro, and 1 time it actually works.

Summary
'Well?' Grell wants to demand, impatient. 'Are you the one that reaps the reapers?' But the only noise that comes from her ruined throat is a sickening gurgle, a fresh wave of blood dribbling from her lips.
The Undertaker looks at her like some sort of long-lost treasure.
“Finders, keepers,” he whispers.
Vaguely, she knows that those words should terrify her. But she doesn’t have enough blood left in her brain to register the feeling. Instead, as he tenderly picks her up with one arm around her back and the other under her knees, just before the pain of being moved makes everything go black, her only thought is how romantic it is, that she gets to die in someone’s arms this time.
---
(Fifteen years after Sebastian wins Ciel’s soul, Undertaker finds Grell dying in a graveyard. She wakes in his bed with a ring around her finger.)

I'll keep turning down the hands that beckon me to come by mannersmakythman

Summary
“Jealous?” Sinbad says, voice easily and casually mocking, but there’s something else under there, an undertone that speaks of so many things Marina isn’t even close to understanding.
“Extremely,” says Proteus, cracking a half-smile, but Marina feels like he’s not joking.
They stare at each other for a few moments. Marina’s gaze flickers between them. Sun and moon. She wishes—she doesn’t know what she wishes. Her heart is twisting again, but in a different way from before: as though it’s half-empty and longs to be full.

Summary
‘Twas– a foolish intention. Tracking down the merchant and smith both, watching suspiciously as she condensed his old temple knight armor into such a small orb with her foreign witchery, glowing a bright, shimmering gold, brimming with aether. How warm the clasp had felt when he held its finished form at last, how even he with nary a magical bone in his body could feel its power, pulsing softly in his palm.
A fine piece, one that would serve Aymeric well. And yet–
The look of it. Why did he leave the smith to his own judgment? Gods damn him, why did he not think to at least ask him to make it blue?

Kaoru took his seat after helping Kimiko sit, opening up the menu after Kojiro set it in front of him.
“What are the specials tonight?” Kaoru asked coldly, smiling softly over at Kimiko. Kojiro’s eye twitched and he read off the specials. Kaoru grinned.

Joe awoke to a familiar aroma. Though, something was off. The smell of hot oil was usually accompanied by the tantalizing fragrance of sizzling onions and garlic. More importantly, he was in bed, which meant -- Joe’s eyes snapped open -- “Kaoru’s cooking!”

Summary
Reki’s left arm was the arm he always braced with when he fell. It was the one that, by extension, got injured the most.
Maybe he’d been fooled by naivety, by the vague idea that he’d be fresh and able-bodied forever, but limbs weren’t meant to be sprained or fractured or broken as often as his left arm was. Each trip to the hospital, he was tempting fate more and more. Really, he should’ve seen it coming:
Nerve damage.
There was a constant, never-ending ache in his arm. A dull throbbing that he eventually learned was easy enough to ignore (except, of course, when it burned like the fucking sun and he couldn’t sleep and he just curled up in his bed wishing for anything to make it stop-). It was always there, but always ignorable. He was good at ignoring his problems.
or,
Reki's repeated injuries have left him with chronic pain. He likes to think he deals with it pretty well. It's not a big deal; no one has to know.
Right?

Summary
Reki woke up to the smell of bacon and the sound of arguing. At the sharp tones filtering through the air, he flinched, hunkering down into himself and wrapping the light blanket around his shoulders tightly.
And then, he realized his mattress was softer than usual. And the blanket atop him was much too light to be his weighted blanket. And the voices arguing outside the room both matched in their alto tones, neither being high-pitched enough to be his mother’s. And their arguing sounded... less angry than Reki had at first thought. More teasing than anything, really.
The teenager’s eyes shot open, and he lurched upwards in bed. His hands flew to the pink hoodie on his chest, gripping at the fabric as he tried to ground himself.
Last night… His dad had… And Reki had ran away. He’d fled, like a coward, after not even attempting to defend himself against his father. He’d gone to… He’d gone to Sia la luce, and Joe and Cherry had been there. And they had…
They invited him to live with them.

He could feel the heat of embarrassment beginning to rise in his cheeks. It’s not like he had been living under a rock or anything. He just hadn’t really been interested in anything to do with dating for years.
“You, mister forefront of AI and technology are telling me that you don’t know what this is.”
