Summary
Jealous.
Simon, for a long time, didn't think he was capable of the feeling. Not until recently. Not until the shift into civilian life left his mind reeling and confused while his friends seemed to fit back into it like like an old glove. Simon didn't know people---didn't like them. He had never known peace before this, and it doesn't sit right with him.

Summary
"W-wait—"
Miguel stopped again, turning to face you. Colors swirled around him as the portal brought a strange, cold breeze through the room. His tired, red eyes flicked lazily back down to your nervous figure. For a second, your words died on your tongue, simply taking in the scene before you. This was real. This was actually real.
The answer to everything Alchemex had been researching for decades was standing right in front of you and you didn't even know what to say.
So, you said the first thing that came to mind.
"Sorry about the pipe."
He looked at you for a moment, his expression unreadable. The beginnings of a smile twitched in the corner of his mouth, but it was gone again in a moment.
"Apology accepted."
...
An anomally is spotted in your dimension and Miguel has to hunt it down before it can cause catastrophic damage to your world. However, the situation proves more complicated than he initially thought, and you're pretty sure you are the most unlucky person in the universe.

PREVIOUS TITLE:: dead ends
"I don't need your help," he insisted for what felt like the millionth time that week. Now you were really starting to get annoyed.
"If you die, I'll never get out of this miserable place alive." You reasoned, leaning against the doorway. "And if I walk away right now, and nobody helps you, you die of septic shock and whatever else you've got going on with that injury of yours. So work with me here ..."
You stepped over him and knealed down to meet his gaze from the floor. He looked up at you through his exhausted eyelids, his gaze still sharp and threatening even through his evident pain.
"How can I help?"
...
Caught up in a war between two of the most powerful quirk-havers in the country, you consider moving to Japan to be the worst possible decision you could have made for yourself. When your impossibly difficult captor refuses to give you answers, you aim to take matters into your own hands, and you discover things were much deeper than you ever imagined.

Summary
"You ... these are for me?"
The stranger nodded, clearing his throat. "I, uh, saw you run off. Both times." He scratched the back of his neck again, "I know it's not much ... but I hope it's enough to help a little bit. And thank you, for ... what you've been doing."
You stared at the bottles for a moment in disbelief before looking back at your newfound friend.
"I figured I would … show my thanks?" He held his hand out for you, his gaze still averted awkwardly towards the lake. "You didn't need to do what you did."
"Dude," you snorted. "They're only sandwiches—anyone else would do the same."
"Well, they were good sandwiches."
...
After what he had witnessed, Hunter couldn't show his face back home again. Not now, not ever. With nowhere else to go, he finds himself hiding in Hexside---hungry, cold, tired, and on edge ... and only after he meets you does he start to feel safe again.
