Summary
“Shit- ow, ow,” Kaveh whined pathetically as he attempted to raise his arms above his head in a simple stretch, one that only seemed to bring him more misery.
“Would you like help?” Alhaitham asked as he flipped the page. He was careful to keep his tone disinterested, lest Kaveh grow suspicious of his intentions.
“When are you ever helpful?” Kaveh grumbled in response, splaying his hands cautiously over his lower back with a hiss.
It wasn’t an agreement, but it also wasn’t a denial – just one of the many contradictions that made up Kaveh. Alhaitham closed the book whose title he'd already forgotten and set it on the coffee table as he pushed himself up to stand, satisfied enough with Kaveh's non-answer.
“I’ve been known to commit an altruistic act every now and then,” Alhaitham hummed.
Kaveh has been in pain recently, and Alhaitham has a solution in mind. His plan works as intended – Kaveh starts to trade his bad habits for healthier ones, but that’s not all that changes. Kaveh is acting friendlier, or perhaps something more than friendly. Alhaitham is skilled at weathering Kaveh’s contempt – he’s not sure he can survive Kaveh’s affection.

Summary
“I expected neither truce nor peace between us,” Yut-Lung said. “I know there is nothing I can say, do, or give to you that will change your feelings. Your anger shall never fade, and that is mine to accept, as are the scars your verbal barbs shall leave. Regardless, it is my hope that in speaking today you have found some measure of closure. Running from the past ultimately solves nothing, Okumura Eiji. I hope that in confronting it, the wounds will heal, though you shall bear scars of your own.”
In which Ash and Eiji have settled into their quiet life under the radar in the sprawling city of Tokyo, until a chance encounter makes them both realize they both still have a long way to go before they're truly healed.

Summary
Ash Lynx finds the love of his life on a quiet night after he trips on sidewalk and harshly bumps his face against it when he exits from library.
Ash lets out a long-suffering sigh and prepares to take out his phone when he hears a sharp inhale and feels someone approaching him in a hurry. He defensively turns towards the noise but freezes like a deer caught in the headlights.
There’s guy in front of him who’s looking at Ash with concern and the sight of him literally makes Ash’s heart flutter like it’s never done before. He has the softest looking black hair Ash’s ever seen and for a crazy moment, Ash feels an irrepressible urge to run his hand through it. The guy’s already big dark eyes grow impossibly bigger when they land on Ash’s bruised cheek.
“Oh my god!” he shrieks in an adorable manner. “Are you okay?”
“You must be an angel.” Ash blurts before he can stop himself.
