Summary
“I figured it out about a month before graduation.”
When Oikawa explains this, they are sitting together in a boat in the middle of Lake Pichola, India, hiding at the end of the fourteenth century with no one to bother them. Hajime sifts his hand through the water to cool his face while Oikawa pauses to collect himself, sights fixed on the royal blue of an emerging night sky. He holds two fingers up to the yellowed moon, pinches it into forced perspective, and palms it completely to force the light out of his eye. At the view, he smiles like he’s defeated all the knowing gods, the fates and their fickle futures, and humbles himself from the stratosphere.
“You know the story, Iwa-chan,” Oikawa tells him, back on earth. “Boy jumps to Miyagi in attempt to run away. It is raining, when he meets another, and they are both five years old. Neither of them can decide if he is from years past, or years to come. Hell, he could be a monster, for all they know.”

Summary
Summer rains bring about the faint scent of Asiatic apple blossoms wafting through the house from an open window in the kitchen. Time stands still, fragments of moments leading you right to this very second. You take his hand and a deep breath. “Anywhere you go, that’s where I want to be, Caleb.”
It’s all the permission he needs.
TLDR: Caleb and you lose your virginity to each other.

Summary
“That’ll be 11.411 yen,” he says.
Mild shock washes over Oikawa upon hearing the cost of his new plant. “For a small plant?”
The sudden exclamation earns him a flat look from the man, who taps the screen near the register twice. “The vase is included. Card or cash?”
A moment of silence passes between them before Oikawa quietly, lamely, replies with: “Card.”
(or: oikawa can't take care of a plant to save his life and iwaizumi, owner of a flower shop, wonders why this guy keeps coming back).

Summary
“Do you hate me?” He asks, trying to keep himself from being torn apart.
Kento looks away for a moment. When he looks back, however, there’s no doubt about what his answer will be.
“Right now?” Even his voice is tense, as if he’s one second away from yelling. “Yes.”
( or: Gojo Satoru may be the strongest, but not even him can help everyone. )
