    Summary

    The first February crept up on Sam.

    Not the first February ever, obviously. Not even the first one with them. But it was the first one with them and the change in emphasis made all the difference.


    On flowers, their secret meanings and a blossoming relationship.

    Summary

    Sam looked over at him as he spoke, trying not to smile so much that Tom thought he was taking the piss but having to fight a grin every time the other man’s eyes lit up as he saw another plant he recognised. They walked between the different rooms, engaged in this largely one-sided conversation, and Sam tried to imagine anything else that he’d rather be doing with his afternoon.

     

    By the third room, he’d drawn a blank, strangely captivated by Tom’s enthusiasm. It was like watching him on stage when he’d riled himself up into a rant about the logic of their longform or if he’d been put on the spot to do a Shakespeare monologue and would just fall into it as easily as breathing. There was something about the way his face lit up, both there and now, that Sam was sure he could never get enough of.


    The date from ch. 24 of Four's a Crowd from Sam's POV.

    Summary

    Dazai sighs gently as he holds his boyfriend, trying to pretend his heart doesn’t shatter as the latter trembles in his arms. “It’s okay Chibbiko, you’re not there. You’re here, with me, in my arms. You’re safe. Nothing, is going to hurt you.”

     

    The words don’t help. Chuuya’s breaths are choked and interrupted by wheezes. He won't be able to ground him like this.

     

    Or

    After waking up from a horrid nightmare, Chuuya has a panic attack. Thankfully, Dazai's right there.
