    Summary

    It’s not the first time Haruka’s woken up lying in the street, head pounding and vision swimming—but it’s strange waking up to concerned faces hovering over him. Faces he thinks he might know, if only they’d stay still. If only the light wasn’t so dazzlingly bright.

    Haruka's been hit on the head plenty of times. This one proves harder to shake off.

    Summary

    “You can’t talk me out of this,” Kaburagi says, stone-faced.

    "I know," says Minato.

    "Then why," he says flatly. "Tell me what you're doing here, if it isn’t that."

    "I don’t know," says Minato simply. He sounds like he’s drowning. Minato always knows. "To…to see you again, I suppose."

    Summary

    Sakura nurses the newly filled glass in the curl of his hands, a chill slowly working its way through his palms to the tip of his fingers. “You’re too nosy for your own good,” is what he settles on, can think only of how he detests Nirei seeing him at anything less than his best. There’s already been enough of that. “One day, it’s really going to get you in trouble. You’re real shit at lookin’ after yourself.”

    “You’re one to talk, Sakura-san.” There’s a huff. “Besides,” a little hum as Nirei gives him a grin, all teeth, boyish, almost playful in the lighting. “Is it me being nosy, or is it just the liquor making people talk?”

    He snorts. “Just the liquor huh?”

    “Well…” it lilts, and Sakura feels himself bristle at the look over which Nirei gives him—knowing, attentive, an intense drag from top to bottom. “It probably helps that you keep turning my patrons head’s into goo through sheer wow-ism.” The softer edge to Nirei’s smile doesn’t help, a heat building along the line of Sakura’s neck, a festering kind of wound. “You definitely get people talking too, Sakura-san. A bit more than the alcohol, I’d wager.”

    Sakura Haruka on what it feels like to find a home.

    Summary

    They’d gotten better at it by now; catching the other when they’re least expecting it. Chasing whispers as they leaped from one dimension to another, faster, faster, before crashing to a halt.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    the hurt/comfort, the Yearning, the tangled web of what-ifs and could've-beens and will-never-bes, the brief moment of softness made all the more poignant for the violence which surrounds it... I think about this one a lot.

    Summary

    Chihiro doesn’t know how long passes, when he starts to drift—the dregs of battle focus slipping through his fingers—remaining lucid only for the stark sensation of Hakuri smoothing a thumb over the tacky trail of drying blood beneath his left eye.

    Or: the gentleness that comes not from the absence of violence, but despite the abundance of it.
