Summary
His heart rate is rising. The alcohol in the tip of the cup trembles for a second alongside the steadiness in his hands. There’s a moment where Izaya thinks he’s panicking, a familiar throb of adrenaline stirring up in the hollow of his chest, the smile turning brittle and straining at its edges. But then it subsides, replaced by a low thrumming of nostalgia, of something just out of his reach, and it’s a slow sleepy sadness all the way through.
“Shizuo Heiwajima,” Shizuo says, extending a hand and giving Izaya a name to go along with the face. Izaya eyes his hand with instinctive caution, the hair on the back of his neck standing and a shiver shaking throughout him. He inhales with his nose and exhales through his lips, weaves it into a breathless oh. The voice is familiar, but Shizuo is not. “It’s good to finally meet you.”
“Same to you, same to you. Now, won’t you refill my cup, Bartender-san?”
(There's something distinctly familiar about the bartender, but Izaya can't remember what it is.)

Summary
There’s a shogi piece he always carries in the breast pocket of his coat, and Midorima swears he can feel it cutting into his chest. It weighs a ton; it’s the cross he bears. It’s a bishop, and it reminds him of who he once worshiped.
“You wanna talk about it?”
“There is nothing to talk about.”
“You did the right thing, y’know. He wasn’t gonna get any better.”
“Takao."
“I mean, he was kinda bad for you.”Takao is right. He hates that Takao is always right. He hates Takao, he hates Akashi, and he hates himself the most. There were too many sleepless nights spent thinking about how if he were just a little stronger and just a little more persistent, Takao would be wrong and Akashi would be here. Akashi would be here and wouldn’t be someone to be hung up on.
