    Summary

    Landing in Fukuoka after a turbulent plane ride with his luggage trashed doesn't have Kaoru in the best state of mind for what might be the most important introduction of his life. Re-introduction, because he'd grown up in the Nanjo house even more than his own.
    “I don’t want to be any trouble,” Kaoru says quickly.
    “That’s funny,” Kojiro says, dropping a kiss high on his temple. “Usually you like causing trouble.”
    Kaoru swats at Kojiro’s chest and his parents laugh.
    “I’m trying to make a good impression,” Kaoru hisses and Kojiro looks at him like its the funniest thing he’s ever said.
    “You’re about twenty-three years too late for that,” Kojiro teases, scooping up Kaoru’s hand before it can collide with his chest.

    Alternatively: Kaoru is not the same person he was when he last saw Kojiro's parents seven years ago. He's better now. He's worthy of their son - he hopes.

    Summary

    Kojiro wants it to be more, needs it to be more than Kaoru is offering. But he'll take what he can get, even when it feels hollow — even when it hurts.
    Kissing back is easy, as natural as breathing. Kojiro sinks into it, relishing any kind of reunion after a few days’ separation.
    “Hey,” Kojiro says, carefully trying to extract himself. “Come on, we should —”
    “I don’t want to think about it,” Kaoru says, hands at his own waist, untangling his obi. “Make me forget.”
    “Kaoru,” Kojiro whispers, nuzzling his cheekbone as tries to get his heart to slow down.

    Alternatively: Five (5) times Kaoru and Kojiro have sex and the one (1) time they don't.

    Summary

    You don’t wake up and decide you like a guy like Haruki, and then just go for it. Not after what Akihiko did. Haruki, after all, was a person you can easily take for granted, and Akihiko was determined not to do any more of that than he already did.

    AKA the five times Akihiko didn't confess to Haruki, and the one time he (accidentally) did.

    Summary

    There's something maybe serendipitous about it: forgetting your wallet the day before your free day, meeting your ex's boyfriend at a bus stop you never use, seeing said ex at the same bus stop as he fumbles his way to his new boyfriend’s good graces.

    So, yes. Just a typical autumn Thursday for Murata Ugetsu, no big deal.
