    Summary

    "It's going to be very interesting…" You whispered, your eyes dancing with mischief. “…hearing what everyone has to say when they see your neck tomorrow."

    Zanka’s eyes darkened. "Then you'd better prepare yourself, because I fully intend to pay you back for every single one of those."

    Being a Cleaner is a constant gamble, where even a "non-fatal" wound could be the beginning of the end. So the sight of blood soaking through his sleeve made your world tilt with fear.

    Maybe your long-awaited plans for the night will be sabotaged before they even began.

    Summary

    Zanka blinks at the older man. Then blinks again. Feels like his brain has done a hard reset at the sudden pivot in topic.

    Feels dumb when he blurts out, “Follo?”

    “Mhm, he was real worried about you missing dinner. Wanted to make sure someone brought you something.” Enjin states, reaching up to rub at his chin in a theatrical display of thoughtfulness. “You know, he could have just brought it himself.”

    or

    Zanka is injured, and Follo’s reaction forces them to confront unfamiliar feelings.

    Summary

    Follo hates swearing.
    Zanka swears like it’s breathing.

    To keep his workshop—and his sanity—intact, Follo invents a "punishment" for every time Zanka swears. It was supposed to be a lesson in discipline. It was supposed to keep Zanka quiet.

    It turns out, you can’t fix a pilot's mouth with a kiss without breaking a few rules of your own.

    7 Rules. 1 Mouthy Pilot. 0 Self-Control.

    Summary

    Zanka had always had a particularly sensitive sense of smell, even as a child. It was something he was forced to hide as a Nijiku son, as this sensitivity didn't always work in his favour. Strong, heavy smells would linger in his head, making him dizzy and nauseous, until all he could think of was getting away from them, overstimulated and shaking. His family had seen it as a point of weakness, though it often felt to him that every part of himself was a potential weakness growing up.
    -
    Or Zanka is picky with the smells he likes, it just so happens that he really likes Follo's.

    Summary

    An easy trip, a job that would have them home by dinner time, what a load of shit. If Zanka had known he’d be stuck in his home district overnight he would have kept his ass back at Headquarters. He had every intention to pick up the items on Semiu’s list, a few personal snacks, ingredients and spices he couldn't find anywhere else, and leave but now he had no choice but to stay. A trash storm had made its way to the Kamutari District.

    In which Follo and Zanka spend the night at an onsen.
