Summary
From an early age, Yusuke kept a mental note of every event they either weren’t invited to or, in the rare case they were, events Madarame forbade them from attending. Birthday parties, end-of-year parties, graduation parties; all of which were typically proceeded by the coveted slumber party, wherein guests would spend the night at the host’s house.
Yusuke never understood the appeal of slumber parties. Sharing a room with other students was more intrusive than fun, and from what they’d heard, people rarely slept during them anyway. They weren’t special, so Yusuke had no reason to feel left out.
...
Haru is back in town for the week, leading Yusuke to attend her first slumber party.

Summary
“I’m not saying you should go out and search for the closest Yusuke look-alike. I’m saying you shouldn’t give up on happiness after heartbreak. You deserve someone who treats you like… well, like art.” Ryuji slowly rose from his knees, and Ren passed him his cane.
He took it, boosting himself to his seat. “Thanks. I, um, really needed that. The advice, and my cane,” he clarified with a laugh. “I’ll get back to you on the Crossroads.”
Now, here he was, quickly realizing why Ren made the suggestion in the first place.
...
Or: Ryuji and Yusuke fall out of touch after graduation. Ryuji finds it easier to reconnect than he thought.

Summary
He was still an artist, though he hadn’t drawn or painted anything in weeks. He was still a student, just not his student.
And he never really felt like a son, despite the neglected part of him that still called Madarame “father”. The word left a sour taste in his mouth, perhaps because he didn’t actually want him to be. Even at his most vulnerable, when he desperately craved their familial connection, Yusuke couldn’t see himself that way. Do I not think I deserve to…?
