    Summary

    For Kokichi, who is afraid of heights, that sounds more or less… bone-deep terrifying, but it’ll be worth it to see Rantaro happy. The guy’s such a thrillseeker, even if he acts too nonchalant to seem like it. “The whole point of amusement parks are the rides, Taro! We gotta get on!”

    Kokichi doesn’t miss the way Rantaro’s eyes widen as he looks over the attraction, and it might be a trick of the light but Kokichi thinks that Rantaro’s pupils also dilate. Cute. The look quickly disappears however as he turns to look down at Kokichi, his brow creasing.

    “Are you sure you don’t want to try something more low-key? I think I saw a carousel over there.”

    “Hey!” Kokichi puffs his cheeks out. He forgot that he told Rantaro about his fear of heights already—he does like trusting Rantaro, Rantaro’s definitely earned it and all, but even still… How annoying that he can’t just treat his beloved without being reminded of himself! “Did I say wanted to ride a carousel? I hate having a minion who talks back, you know!”

    ---

    Upon learning that Rantaro likes roller coasters, Kokichi takes it upon himself to give his boyfriend a day of fun.

    “What-” Ouma voice breaks into a gasp before he shakes his head and steels himself. “What if I stopped?”

    “Stopped lying?” Ouma nods, fingers plucking at the ties of his arms.

    Summary

    "Villain or no, you're pretty interesting, Ouma-kun. We should hang out more sometime," Rantaro suggests.

    And, oh, Rantaro's so close, is the thing. His smile really is so handsome, and the crinkles in the corners of his eyes really do look so charming. But Kokichi can see what other people can't: he can see the strings pulling up the corners of Rantaro's mouth, the threaded hooks pulling his eyes into the perfect facsimile of genuine friendliness. It's so close to normal, but the sliver of a gap between Rantaro and normal upsets the whole thing, like a single hair ruins a whole bowl of soup.

    Kokichi's fascinated. He needs to study this man.

    Kokichi gets in over his head, but what else is new for him?

    Summary

    Amami Rantarou has never lived a rigorous life, but he wants to be possessed by a sensational thrill, wants the danger and the anguish of a relentless adventure pounding and screeching through his veins. He wants the unpredictable, wants the high of adrenaline to seize him, own him, grow him a spontaneous salvation as fierce as wings to fly.

    It’s a cut-brake, unstoppable force, one that drives him to his limits and steals the air from his lungs, that works his limbs until they ache and his heart until he’s tearless, fearless, and brave.

    Amami is not safe, but he could be.

    Summary

    “Kokichi,” Rantaro says. He turns to face his friend. “We’ll rest tonight, but tomorrow we’ll hike back. I’m calling this lead a dead end.”

    “Are you sure?” Kokichi’s brow furrows. “If it was Mina or Kikuko—”

    “If it was one of them, then,” Rantaro inhales, “then I know they’re alive, and I can come back here later.” Though the idea of Kikuko coming back to a forest trail like this after her fall in the Philippines so many years ago… is baffling. Why would she? “But if this is a trap, I’m not going to risk your life by walking further into it. I’d rather come back on my own than—”

    Kokichi gasps, eyes going uncharacteristically wide with an emotion Rantaro doesn’t recognise on him. “Rantaro, look out!”

    Summary

    It’s a particularly cruel method of incentivising himself to regain his movement. DICE never existed, so it’s not like there’s actually a point in trying to honour what they would’ve thought. The worst part is that it works; Kokichi’s leg twitches as if in protest, and then all at once he can move, springing off the mattress and curling into fetal position so quickly that he drops and rolls off the bed, landing on the carpet with a loud thud. It’s a hard enough impact that the floor beneath him vibrates, and Kokichi groans, rolling onto his side. Of course, there are tears forming in his eyes, threatening to escape and soak into his night clothes. Isn’t this just the cherry on top for an already perfect evening? Really, all he needs to happen now is for—

    There’s a light rap at Kokichi’s bedroom door, and then it opens with a soft call of, “‘Kich? You alright?”

    Summary

    Kaito makes a few incoherent questioning sounds, eyes popping open to glare reproachfully at Kokichi, but his gaze seems to catch on something behind him; the room at large, probably. After that, Kaito is awake quickly, scrambling to his own knees as his head swivels back and forth, taking in the general eerie atmosphere of the room they’re in as his mouth opens and closes. A pint of blood seems to drain from his face.

    “W-W—”

    “We don’t know,” Rantaro says, putting a hand on Kaito’s shoulder. “At least, I don’t think we do.” He glances meaningfully at Kokichi.

    “Oh, yeah. My bad. I forgot to mention we were doing an escape room for our date today.” Kokichi shrugs. “Sorry about that!”

    Rantaro has the grace to chuckle before he looks back at Kaito. “Both of us just woke up not very long before you. It kind of seems like what you see is what you get in here, though…”

    ---

    Kaito, Kokichi, and Rantaro wake up in a mysterious building where they have to face a series of challenges to escape to the next room. As members of the group are incapacitated one at a time, each is forced to think outside the box in order to get them and their loved ones out.

    Summary

    Amami smiles, a touch wryly. “We’ve only been here a couple weeks, Ouma-kun. I don’t know if that’s enough time to get a feel for someone’s behavioural patterns.”

    “To you, maybe,” Ouma shrugs, polishing his nails on his scarf. “That one’s a lie too, though. I don’t care enough about the bozos here to try memorising why they behave a certain way. I just get bored with annoying the rest of them sometimes and without my beloved Amami-chan there it’s suuuper sad. What’s the point of performing when you don’t have an audience?”

    “Self-fulfillment?” Amami suggests.

    “I think that’s just a term bullies make up to justify excluding people,” Ouma sniffs, and before Amami can try to figure out what the hell that means, he continues. “Anyways! I hate small talk, it’s boring.” As if Ouma’s prattling from just now could be considered small talk. “So I’m gonna cut to the chase. Why does Amami-chan hate his birthday so much?”

    Amami plans to spend his birthday alone until Ouma comes poking his head up in his business.

    Summary

    Kaito makes an indignant sound. “I wasn’t gonna bug him, I wanted to see him! You know today’s hard for him just like I do.” He quiets, but Kokichi doesn’t say anything, so Rantaro guesses that he’s thinking something out. “I just… wanted to let him know I’m here.”

    “Well, he knows you’re here!” Kokichi chirps, voice louder now. That’s Rantaro’s only warning before his bedroom door flies open, revealing the two of them, Kaito with one hand extended as though to stop Kokichi from barging in and Kokichi with his chest puffed out, a pleased grin on his face like he’s a cat that just got the cream. The light that enters his bedroom when the door opens is almost blinding; Rantaro winces when it hits his eyes, but manages a smile, especially seeing the concern in Kaito’s face.

    “Hey there,” Rantaro greets, weakly. “Valuables are in the safe on the floor in my closet.”

    ---

    Rantaro stays in on his birthday, haunted by his past (and a half-healed stab wound). Kaito and Kokichi swing by for a visit.

    Summary

    Screw it, I’m going for it. I lift my skirts, which are long and heavy and hot in the afternoon sun, and make my way carefully over to the Prince, feeling my legs wobble a bit. I can walk just fine in heels. It’s more nerves that are making my knees shake right now. I wish those would wear off. If I stutter in my introduction with Prince Rantaro, I’ll never be able to look him in the eyes again.

    I manage to discreetly wipe the sweat on my palms off on my skirt before I let it drop.

    “Uhm,” I start, which isn’t very ladylike of me at all. Rantaro smiles at me. “Hi.”

    “Hey,” Prince Rantaro returns, and my god, his voice is low.

    Summary

    It’s obvious that Amami is in pain, but Ouma can’t see any visible injuries, can’t tell if this whole… thing, here, is just Amami trying to heal himself, or… something else. Still, seeing people hurting is uncomfortable and nauseating, and seeing Amami especially hurting is doing funny things to Ouma’s gut that he doesn’t particularly want to read into, so before Ouma can think better of it he’s dropping to his knees on the dusty floor and reaching out for Amami’s shaking hands.

    The second their fingers brush, Amami jerks away, back straightening and hitting the wall, yanking his hands back from Ouma as though burnt. He lets out a strangled gasp, eyes flying open, but when they make contact with Ouma’s, Ouma sees that his pupils are dilated and out of focus, a bead of sweat dripping down from his hairline.

    Summary

    As Rantaro turns around, Shuichi watches him go-- but for some reason seeing his back makes a lump rise taller in his throat, painful and difficult to swallow around. And it’s… it’s fine, that Rantaro’s leaving, he’s in a truly uncomfortable position right now and Shuichi would go to grab someone else too, he really would, but… leaving just like that, with nothing else said, it… Shuichi clears his throat and forces himself to speak up, ignoring how wobbly his voice comes out through the tears. “Amami-kun,” he calls, and when Rantaro turns around, his expression unreadable, he says, “I’m… sorry. That you had to see this.”

    The frown that appears on Rantaro’s face is painful, somehow, like a suckerpunch to the gut, but Shuichi doesn’t have time to process it before Rantaro flips around and walks over to him, strides long and almost desperate, not hesitating or even uttering a word before he engulfs Shuichi in a hug.

    (And it’s so… warm.)

    Summary

    From this angle, and from what Amami can see of his face under his hat, Saihara seems quite peaceful. His expression is free of the creases and wrinkles that would be in it usually, whether from anxiety or from some other outside issue, Amami doesn’t know in particular. But he looks younger like this, less haunted.

    It’s a good look, actually. Though Amami is pretty sure Saihara would be mortified if he found out Amami was looking at him like this after being given his best friend’s blessing. Amami chuckles a little at the thought, but then eventually decides he’d better get serious, and reaches out to rest a hand on Saihara’s shoulder, gently rousing him.

    “Saihara-kun, it’s time for lunch,” he murmurs, and the sleepy little noise that Saihara makes in response warms Amami’s chest.

    Summary

    “Morning,” Rantaro murmurs. It’s nearing 3PM, but it’s the thought that counts. “Are you hungry?”

    Kokichi hums indistinctly, which isn’t really an answer. Rantaro watches him lie there for a while, as if he’ll suddenly muster the energy to give a verbal response, but none comes. Eventually Rantaro adjusts to tug Kokichi further into his embrace, head against his chest, and reaches past him with his free hand.

    It’s winter, orange season, so they’ve been keeping a little basket of tangerines on the corner of the kotatsu by their remote. Kokichi likes the things a lot so he keeps a careful eye on it, always refilling it when the amount dips kind of low. Rantaro picks a tangerine off the top and leans forward slightly so he can wind his arm all the way around Kokichi, cradling the fruit in both hands.

    “How’d you sleep?” Rantaro asks as he starts to peel it. Kokichi mumbles into his shirt, another incoherent response.

    Kokichi wakes up late and groggy, Rantaro makes sure he gets his breakfast.

    Summary

    “You make a lot of silly mistakes like that,” Ouma comments. It’s not really true, and he can’t even think of any examples, but the words just come out independent of his brain. “You’d better get on that! Something pretty bad could happen if you’re not careful!”

    “Like a terminal illness?”

    “Pretty much like a terminal illness, yeah.”

    A pause. Ouma is currently biting on the inside of his own cheek, wondering what he should say to escape the interaction. Maybe he should just run. Maybe he should knock Amami out and gaslight him about this later. No, he was never at the door. You’re crazy Amami. You must have been having sleep deprivation hallucinations. That sounds pretty scary, you should get that looked at.

    “Do you want to come in?” Amami ventures.

    Whuh huh.

    Summary

    Ouma doesn’t dare speak, a hand cupping his mouth as he creeps to peer around the bookshelf. Amami is standing in the corner, crouched down with his Monopad in his hand, staring down at something on the floor with a disconcerted look on his face. Ouma doesn’t have time to call out to him or inquire as to what it is he sees. The moment Ouma opens his mouth, he sees a flash of movement off to his left and gleaming silver.

    Perhaps this is what prey animals feel when they’re being hunted down; Ouma’s body moves before his head does, Amami’s name escaping him in a strangled voice as he swiftly puts himself between his friend—friend?—and the metal ball.

    Stars explode in Ouma’s vision. Hues—pinks, oranges, blinding yellow—dance against his eyelids as he’s hit first with a shock of icy cold, and then blinding pain. Some unflattering noise—like an urgh—leaves his throat as his knees give, the whole world blurring around him.

    Summary

    Rantaro’s head swivels. Angie is sitting just a few feet away from Rantaro, facing away. Even turned in the wrong direction, Rantaro can see that she is breathing, her back rising and falling with each even breath. It hadn’t been uncommon for Rantaro to find Angie meditating like she seems to be doing now, and it’s always seemed rude to interrupt someone so tranquil, but—Rantaro has so many questions. What is this place? How did he get here? What’s with the statues? What’s happened to the killing ga—

    The killing game. A renewed sense of urgency grips Rantaro and he shuffles over on his knees. “Hey, Angie-san—” His hand extends to take her by the shoulder, but just as his fingertips brush her back, Angie turns around and beams at him.

    “Oh, the ritual was a success!” Angie exclaims.

    Rantaro blinks. “The ritual?”

    Angie enters a different room for her candle and as a result, Rantaro comes back to life. The game doesn't just stop there, though.

    Summary

    Not that Kokichi resents her for that. It’d be easy to, seeing Rantaro’s persistent migraines and the way that Kaito sometimes wakes up screaming her name, but Kaede is just as much of a victim as the rest of them, and at least she’s never tried to shy away from the hurt she caused. It’s the opposite if anything. Kokichi tried once to tell her she should forgive herself, and that was the last time she sought him out.

    Until now, at least. But Kaede clearly didn’t do that of her own accord, given the former detective standing in front of her. Irritatingly, Shuichi doesn’t respond to Kokichi’s jab, merely offering a small, almost sheepish smile.

    “We aren’t here to interrogate you, Ouma-kun,” Shuichi says. He shifts his weight, a hand moving to brush his hair out of his face. “We were just, ah. I wanted to know what your plans were, for once we’ve left this place.”

    Kokichi leans back, flattening his palms against the floor with his papers lying loose across his lap. “Sounds like an interrogation to me!”

    “Well, that isn’t how I’d meant it.” Shuichi pouts too, a perfect mirror of Kaede’s.

    Summary

    The sky is a pale, desaturated pre-dawn blue. The moon is crescent-shaped. Kaito would be able to tell him if it was waxing or waning, but Shuichi can’t actually tell. It’s pretty, though. He cups his hands over his mouth and breathes warm air against them, shivering as it spreads goosebumps down his arms. The gesture doesn’t help so much, but Shuichi is pretty sure that’s less a product of the actual cold and more because of his dream.

    It’s frustrating that this never gets any easier, and worse that Shuichi knows Kaito and Kokichi will wake up if he’s out of bed for too long. The two of them sleep better with him there, always struggle getting back to sleep without him. In fairness to their dependence, Shuichi is the same way. It’s been years, but he still needs the two of them pressed against his chest and back, the constant tactile reassurance of the fact that neither of them dead, that Kokichi isn’t smashed under a hydraulic press and Kaito hasn’t coughed up a lung.

    It’d be nice to have them here now, but Shuichi doesn’t want to wake them on a rare night of peaceful sleep, particularly not when Kokichi was up so late helping him research.

    Summary

    Well, Ouma was kind of joking. But he wasn’t kidding that he can’t die like this. Unless Amami gets a silver tooth, the worst that’ll happen is that Ouma passes out for a while and then wakes up once his blood has sufficiently replenished itself. Besides, no matter how hungry Amami lets himself get, he’s never taken more than Ouma has offered. He rarely even takes the full amount. So Ouma isn’t scared of this—and admittedly, though he understands the person that Amami is, he still fails to understand why Amami continuously refuses to seek him out.

    Maybe it’s just hard, to ask someone for something as vital as their blood, even willingly offered. Ouma can’t pretend like he wouldn’t be the same, in Amami’s situation. But it’s real easy to be holy given that he isn’t.

    “Come on,” Ouma prods, “you look totally miserable, Amami-chan, and that’s no lie.”

    ---

    Amami does the same thing as he always does, so Ouma makes sure he's taking care of himself. Simple as that.
