Summary
Reality crumbles down around him, dowsing him in ice-cold clarity, unearthing the sludge of jealousy from slumber. It crawls against his skin, red-hot, as ugly as ever. He’s seventeen again and desperately clinging to something that was never his.
Of course Kaoru’s still thinking about Adam. Of course that’s what he remembers, even five years later. Of course Kojiro has played himself for the fool.
~~
Kojiro has watched Kaoru through the years, but always in profile or from behind.

Summary
There’s something Hank is missing.
It’s in the way Connor smiles with one corner of his mouth first, and the short, fast way he winks when he’s joking. It's in the brown of his eyes that color deep as coffee when he’s lost in thought, solemn gaze to the ground. It's the way he drums his fingers against his thigh and jiggles his leg in human impatience, and the way his casual shrug is imperfect: a twitch of his mouth or a flicker of his eyes gives him away.
Empathy, Hank thinks, cannot be uncoded.
