Summary
“polyphagia” (ˌpɒlɪˈfeɪdʒə)
- an abnormal desire to consume excessive amounts of food; often the result of an underlying condition
- an insatiable appetite
This is how it goes: Denji loves too passionately. Yoshida loves too quietly. Denji is never full. Yoshida is never hungry. These truths do not come into question—not for people who've sold them their whole lives.
Until Yoshida takes on his newest job, that is.

Summary
“Sorry, Yoshiki,” Hikaru groans as tears come out of one eye and more of him comes out of the other. “Ughh, I don’t – ”
Yoshiki can see how hard he’s trying to calm himself down, but it just isn’t working.
“It’s ok,” Yoshiki says, quiet. “It’s ok. Instead of shovin’ it back inside completely, can you try just...lettin’ it out? Just a little bit?”
He has no clue how any of this works, but maybe a half-measure is better than trying to force it all at once.
“Okay,” Hikaru says, but it sounds like a sob. More of the unknowable, incomprehensible swirl leaks out into the dark room.
“Yoshiki – shit – ‘m sorry but can I…” Hikaru’s face – what’s visible behind the bloom of him – twists in a small kind of agony. “Can I touch you? Not much. Just – ”
It's been years since Hikaru first took the body of Yoshiki's dead best friend. Despite everything - every horror and hurt - they managed to find a home in each other. Not quite friends or family. More and not. What they have is complicated, but precious.
But when Yoshiki escapes their small town – to college, to Tokyo – Hikaru follows. And things start to change for them both.

Summary
“Hey sexy,” Enjin greets.
Gris pulls a shirt from the dryer, shakes it once and lays it in the basket tucked under his arm.
“No.”
Enjin pouts as he leans against the doorway, his shoulders spanning most of the frame.
“You don’t even know what I’m going to ask.”
“And I don’t need to know,” Gris says patiently, smiling as Enjin further smooshes his lips in a pout. “It’s the first Friday of the month, and you want me to race Sheila. No.”

Summary
Denji was such a malleable, frazzled mess of a boy. He chased his tail without knowing why he needed to catch it in the first place. Even if it was trivial, Yoshida wanted to throw him some new tennis balls to chew—if he wasn’t at least doing that, then he was failing, wasn’t he? Maybe Denji would let him rub his belly if he showed him a good time. Maybe he could take a shred of the grief and uncertainty off of his shoulders.

Summary
"Make like, a twitter account to talk about how much you love Bachira and leave me alone," Chigiri jokes one day. "I can only listen to so many rants about his thighs before I go insane."
A few hours later, Isagi is typing out 'puzzlevision' on a Create New Account screen. Surely this can only go well.
(or: isagi creates a twitter account to gush about his boyfriend, gains popularity and reveals his relationship to the world. mostly in that order and mostly accidentally.)
