    Summary

    A muscle twitches in the witcher’s jaw. He clears his throat. “We recently… reunited. He and I used to travel together.”

    “And the moment I can get out of this storm, we will cease ‘traveling together’ once more,” Jaskier says bitterly. Traveling together. Ha. Geralt makes it sound like they were nothing more than acquaintances on the road.

    To him, Jaskier supposes it was. Unfortunately, Jaskier’s own heart and mind never received the memo.

    Nivellen raises his brows, glancing between them. “Ah. I’ve… prodded something, haven’t I?”

    “There is nothing between us to prod. There never was,” Jaskier insists. “Continue your game. I rather enjoy watching Geralt lose.”

    -----

    Or, Geralt had never called Jaskier a friend, not once in their twenty years traveling together. Now he returns to uproot Jaskier's life, Child Surprise in tow and mentions of an 'old friend' on his lips. It makes Jaskier want to scream.

    Summary

    Akira gave Ryuji his ‘sorry’ smile. “This is Shinya-kun. He’s going to join us for dinner.”
    “Uh…okay…Hi. I’m Sakamoto.”
    “…hi.” The kid crossed his arms and looked away.
    Ryuji scratched the back of his head. How was he supposed to talk to a kid? “Uh, cool.”

    She would've never guessed finding herself meant finding Ryuji again too.

    Summary

    “Tsukuda Tomeo. I - uh.” Ryuji’s voice goes all funny for a second, he’s pretty sure, and he clears his throat on instinct.

    “Know him?” Akira asks, lips downturned just slightly, and, in that second, he’s sure Akira knows. He’s sure he doesn’t even have to say it.

    “Used to.” He does, anyway. “That’s my old man’s name, you know? Or - was six years ago, at least. Who knows what he’s been up to since then.”

     

    The Phantom Thieves get a forum request about an uncomfortably familiar name. Ryuji, though, doesn't think it's such a big deal.
