    Summary

    He yells at the tide. “You’re a coward, Black Water!”

    The tide crashes again.

    Contrary to popular belief, Shi Qingxuan doesn’t like the beach all that much.

    Summary

    Feng Xin cooks; Mu Qing cleans. Feng Xin works as a personal trainer, and Mu Qing is a freelance model. Feng Xin plays loud music at odd hours in his room; Mu Qing spends ages in the shower.

    It’s annoying, but it’s routine.

    It’s them. Until it’s not.

    Because suddenly there's also a boy, no older than four years old. He has dark hair and jade green eyes that are wide and glassy as he considers Feng Xin, his supposed father, but no more than a stranger. He’s wearing a bright blue backpack, and he’s clutching onto a frayed, yellow blanket like it’s a lifeline.

    — (or, a feng xin masterclass on how to gain a guy in ten days despite lowkey being a deadbeat dad.)

    Summary

    Feng Xin shrugs. “I’m ten, too. I’m supposed to be in fourth grade, but—” He stops himself and flushes to the tips of his too-large ears. Everything about him is rather large, Mu Qing realizes. His ears, the sharp jut of his nose, and his expressive eyes.

    “But what?”

    Feng Xin shoves the rest of his sandwich into his mouth, eyes downcast. “I got held back.”

    “You failed?” Mu Qing isn’t nice enough to stifle his snort of derision. “Must suck being stupid.”

    — (or, mu qing wrestles with the idea of belonging for a fair amount of his life.)

    Summary

    “I’m a little low on groceries, but I figured even your expensive palate couldn’t hate chicken.”

    “Chicken is fine,” Daisuke replies, ignoring the jab and watching Haru dip the ladle back into the tall, aged pot. The stove is messy—more than a few accidental splashes have occurred, it seems. “Are you in any shape to be cooking?”

    “I’ve gotten this far on my own, haven’t I?” Haru grumbles without sparing him a glance. “Just go shower. And don’t take up all the hot water or I’ll steal all your money and move into a fancy new mansion before you can.”

    — (or, haru breaks his arm and daisuke is looking for a temporary place to live. the solution? living together.)
