    Summary

    "Did... you finally play the game, Hinata-kun?" He was still smiling, a bit subdued.

    Hinata had already spoken about this more than he'd wanted to that morning. "I'm not gonna talk about anything with you, I'm gonna open these, and then leave."

    "Okay," Komaeda agreed quietly, eyes wide as he watched Hinata's fingers work open the packaging on a bag of pretzels. His pupils contracted, following every movement with increasing intensity. The unpleasant rip of plastic speckled the silence between them, leaving huge gaps where Hinata swore he could hear the other boy breathing.

    (Hinata feels just a little, tiny bit bad that Komaeda is hungry and tied up in the dining hall, and pays him a visit late at night.)

    Summary

    Ryuunosuke presses his eyes closed and thinks of the dry, stagnant room of the ship cabin, after Kazuma died all those months ago.

    His world had been torn raw and reset, shrunk to that tiny room, with one bed, a wardrobe, and nothing else.

    Summary

    Maybe it’s because Ramuda is clearly still struggling to wake up and the way he keeps sleepily rubbing his eyes is, dare he say, cute. Maybe it’s because Gentaro saw Ramuda drooling in bed a mere ten minutes ago, spread like a starfish and nearly buried under Dice.

    Or maybe it’s because, despite Gentaro’s efforts to keep himself at a distance, to build layers upon layers around his identity like the clothes he wears, to live up to his name of Phantom, a barely seen ghost that leaves behind no proof of existence... Fling Posse has managed to find a home in the cracks of his facade. They’ve seeped into his skin, reminded him of what it’s like to have people who care, who don’t mind that he might lie about far more than they realize—

    —Ah. The point is, Ramuda doesn’t seem scary at all. Not anymore. Not like this.

    __

    Or: a morning in the shared apartment of Ramuda, Dice, and Gentaro

    Summary

    “You think I don’t know that?” Gaia snorts, and pushes another coffee biscuit at her. “What’s a goodbye without love? All these people—Thancred and Urianger, and the Warrior of Light—they all love you. But they trust you, too. Including this Oracle of Light of yours, she trusts you to carry on.” She gestures with her mug, the surface of the coffee dotted with crumbs. “You said it yourself. You’re carrying their torch, now.”

    In the ashes of a hazy past, Ryne finds the strength to seek out a future.

    Summary

    It falls to Hades to give the final approval on a new concept—the cat. Shenanigans ensue, and Hades is not amused.

    “A cat.” Hades tested the name on his tongue. His eyes… watering. “Why is it making that sound?”

    “It is pleased.” Hythlodaeus stroked his hand along its body. The sound only grew louder. “Lahabrea was adamant that it be named. It helps expedite… bonding.”

    “I trust Lahabrea as far as I can throw him,” Hades quipped. “Therefore, I will absolutely not—“

    “You could name it after her.”

    “No,” Hades growled.

    “Or, after something she loves,” Hythlodaeus kept on. “Stars. The Zodiacus—“

    “Diacus, then,” Hades shot out, exasperated. Tired. “Does it truly matter?”

    Hythlodaeus scratched the underside of the cat’s chin. “Diacus. What do you think? Good name?”

    The creature nuzzled his fingers, still quite pleased with itself.

    Summary

    HUGE SPOILERS FOR DGS2

    --

    Ryuunosuke inclined his head in thought, “I think - if I couldn’t have faith in my best friend in his time of need, then I shouldn’t waste everyone’s time by becoming a defense lawyer.”

    Kazuma took a second - perhaps a minute - to absorb that, cautious that he must have misheard. But Ryuunosuke was unwavering still, painfully gentle with each prodding word, and what is Kazuma anyway, if not once again helplessly pulled into Ryuunosuke’s orbit.

    Summary

    “Do you really want the sword?”

    “I—” Kazuma hesitates. What he really wants is Ryuunosuke’s heart, but he’s absolutely certain that's the wrong answer. But surely there’s some metaphor about hearts and swords and becoming worthy of one or the other, so instead he says, “Yes?”

    “You sound so sure,” Ryuunosuke says dryly.

    -

    Kazuma’s trip back home isn’t going the way he expected it would. He still has quite a bit of apologizing to do, it seems.

    Summary

    And really, he is right. Ryunosuke feels it, a drop in the harbor of this strange sensation. Something he’s been nursing at since they put to sea.

     

    It… really does feel as if their cabin is the only place. That it is shrouded deep in blue, a submersible cradled by sea. There is nothing else, there is nobody else but Kazuma.

     

    It’s always felt like that, really.

     

    Kazuma and Ryunosuke share in the cabin's single bed, as they share in everything else.

    Summary

    However long this lasts, though, he’ll deal with it. There are genuinely honest people out there who do. Bad liars, or they maybe even have a conscience. How they’ve survived in this world, Goro’s got no idea. Could be, they’re just good people.

    Goro wouldn't know.

    (Hit with a status effect in the Metaverse, Goro Akechi can only tell the truth.)

    Summary

    It is her noble cousin’s sixth call in as many hours.
    Athena does not begrudge him—if anything, it’s flattering to see her brooch winking on his chiton, a scar of silver against the red and gray—but it’s a concerning variation in the pattern he’s been so quick to establish. It’s not difficult to envision Zagreus throwing himself against his challenge again and again with the wholehearted abandon he seems so fond of. It is understandable, that after so long kept apart from the rest of his family he is eager to make his escape and reach them.
    Understandable, but perhaps not entirely sensible.
    (The one where Zagreus learns to knit.)

    Summary

    No, he still doesn’t understand Yurius. He doesn’t think he will ever be able to completely do so either.

    However, this is the first time he could sense the extent of emotional turmoil Yurius has gone through. All his pain and burdens that he had kept hidden from Albert. Everything-- how he was the king’s illegitimate son, which was part of why the two always butted heads. The betrayal Yurius felt when he realized the king cared more about Albert than him and when Albert seemed in that moment to care more about the kingdom than his friend.

     

    Yurius’s desire to atone for what he’s done, and at the same time, his gratitude toward Albert for saving him time and time again.

    Summary

    It starts small.

    An ever-so-slight lean into Galo’s side when they’re standing next to each other, looking at the chore assignments for the week in the Burning Rescue headquarters. The barest brush of cold fingertips against a bright orange jacket hem. Sitting a little closer than usual on the couch in the rec room. Resting on Galo’s back a little more than necessary when Galo gives him a ride on the back of his motorcycle after work.

    Lio is always freezing. Galo is always warm. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the rest.
