    Summary

    Saihara trails off, and for a moment, he looks lost, a stray tear caught in his eyelash. On a random, blind impulse, Ouma reaches out to brush it away, and stops before his fingers touch Saihara’s face.

    Grey eyes trail up Ouma’s arm from his fingertips and stop when they’ve made eye contact. Saihara’s lower lip trembles again.

    “Saihara-chan is lonely, isn’t he?” Ouma asks. “How could that be, when he has so many people who love him so much?”

    Saihara exhales a shaky laugh. “You’re lonely too.”

    “Guilty as charged,” Ouma shrugs. “Maybe I like it that way.”

    “Do you?”

    Ouma hesitates. His impulse is to say yes, he does, but… does he really prefer to be alone and unseen? Is the idea of Saihara understanding him really so unbearable, or is it the thought that Saihara could dig underneath his skin to the real him and decides he doesn’t like what he sees?

    ---

    Saihara pays Ouma a visit on a rooftop after the game.

    Summary

    Kokichi counts the seconds as he rides along, steadily falling to the back of the convoy. Minutes pass, then hours. Until finally, the sky is painted with deep blues and purples, along with streaks of gold. The sunset reminds him of Shuichi, like he’s calling all the way from the kingdom. Come back to me.

    I’m on my way, Kokichi promises.

    Summary

    Ouma’s smile distorted to something dark, a quirk that Kaito had already grown far too used to, but then it quickly subdued. “We have two hours,” he said.

    “Fuck,” Kaito muttered, closing his eyes. “Fuck, okay. You better start explaining this entire damn plan of yours right now, then.”

    Summary

    Shuichi wishes he could say he’d had some big, heroic reaction after waking up from the simulation.

    Instead, he just closed his eyes and tried to fall back asleep.

    ---

    Shuichi Saihara defeats Despair, and Hope, and everything in between, and then he wakes up, to a world with bright red sunsets and tired boys with purple eyes. And maybe he starts to heal.

    Summary

    When a secret in the underworld needs unearthing, the group known as Dice always delivers results, provided the price is right. This time Dice's latest client is from the law, a detective working off the clock to help a close friend. When the detective comes in knowing things nobody else should, including some that could strip Dice's leader of the shadows that keep him anonymous, the two join together in a complicated dance— not just to see the case to its end, but to find out who will tighten the noose first.

    Summary

    no matter how many times he retraces his steps, the answer never changes. he closes his eyes. the train of thought is worn into his mind, a deep groove that he knows like the back of his hand. he knows where each thought will start and where they will lead him, an atlas of the paths his mind takes when he thinks about dying.

    Summary

    Shuichi shut the door behind himself, slumping against it as all that anxious energy that’d been stirring in his stomach all day finally began to settle in the comfort of his own dorm room. He dragged a shaky hand through his hair, squeezing his eyes shut with a heavy sigh. He genuinely could not believe how well that went. He’d been so prepared for disgust and looks of betrayal… maybe even hatred but, somehow, they were happy for him. Months of dread for nothing.
    How had he wound up so lucky in life?

    Or Kokichi finds he can’t lie in his dreams and Shuichi does his best to gradually chip away at Kokichi’s hard shell.

    Seems like D.I.C.E.’s lead singer really likes messing with Shuichi Saihara! It was a little mean of him to lie about writing a love song for him, though.

    That is… If Kokichi WAS lying, right?

    Summary

    He’s beautiful, Kokichi thinks fervently. So, so beautiful.

    What would Shuichi be doing on this Sunday morning if Kokichi weren’t there?

    …Probably sleeping in, he decides, taking a sip of his hot chocolate. It burns his tongue.

    (Probably happier, some twisted part of him whispers. He stares at the cup in his hands and can’t find it in himself to disagree.)

    Summary

    “Well surprise! I have the gullible disease! I can’t tell who’s lying anymore, and everyone seems so nice. Heh, Monokuma’s such a bitch, right? He said it was funny.” Kokichi sobers for a second. “I didn’t think it was funny.”

    Kaede, Maki, and Shuichi all blink at him.

    Kokichi blinks back, then sneezes.

    “Oh god,” Kaede finally says. “We’re fucked, aren’t we?”

    Summary

    Home is where the heart is, they said.

    Ouma didn’t really understand what that meant. Home, he supposed, was a place of safety, warmth and love. Home… was a place where one could be themselves, a place where lies—kind white lies and painfully black untruths—were simply unnecessary. Home was a place Ouma has never known, an alien concept, something he couldn’t quite understand. But the more he thought about it, the more he realized his detachment to the idea made a strange sort of sense.

    After all, if home was where the heart was, then the fact that his chest was devoid and empty must have been to blame.

    Summary

    But, Saihara thinks as he sits next to Ouma as he starts the truck, Saihara himself is probably the reason that they’re only going through near-death experiences and not actual-death experiences. The thought is off-putting enough that Saihara shoves it to the back of his mind and tries to pretend it didn’t exist at all.

    (Is Ouma dying? Ouma could be dying.)

    Ouma and Saihara walk along the highway at two forty-three in the morning.

    Summary

    Ouma Kokichi, competitive Dance Dance Revolution player, is on the fast track to burnout. He has cleared every song in the game and holds all the machine records at his local game center. His skill is unmatched, his tournament records full of victories. And he's getting bored because, as much as he loves winning, it's no fun if there's no worthy competition.

    Until Saihara Shuichi walks into the Ikebukuro Round 1 and turns everything Kokichi thought he knew upside down.

    (A rivals-to-lovers AU with a healthy dose of DDR community culture, because no one ever writes DDR right in fics.)
