    Summary

    As usual, when he lets Haiji have his way, the reward is swift to follow. Haiji lets out a soft exhale, like he was holding his breath, and presses closer to trail his lips against Kakeru's jaw, his cheek. Kakeru reflexively reaches out for him, arms slipping around Haiji to hold him, nervousness falling away.

    "I want to be in charge of… of making you feel… good," he mumbles, a little lost already in the oncoming sensation of Haiji warm against him, kissing him, wanting him back.

    Haiji's lips are soft on his, but they make him shake like a leaf in the wind. "Take whatever you want," Haiji tells him. "I'll give it to you."

    --

    Simply put, Haiji is stunning, and Kakeru wants to take every opportunity to learn him. Even (especially) if it means leaving Haiji feeling a little overwhelmed.

    Summary

    Kakeru knows he’s awkward, poor at social cues (getting better, though), tragically unfunny, has trouble keeping his emotions in check. His teammates all know that about him, too. They accept all those things about him, which is great, and he’s forever thankful.

    But who could actually manage to develop a crush on that combination of dysfunction?

    He looks at Haiji. Haiji beams back at him, and Kakeru swallows, looking away.

    --

    Haiji thinks someone in Aotake might have a crush on Kakeru. Kakeru has absolutely no idea who it could be.

    Summary

    "The stars are beautiful tonight," Haiji observes, but his eyes never leave Kakeru.

    It's a touchingly romantic moment. Or, it would have been if the dumbass couple realized that they were, in fact, a couple.

    ("Oh god," Prince realizes with horror, "I'm the long-suffering friend in this shitty rom-com, aren't I.")

    Summary

    "No one knows they’re gay when they’re twelve, Sasuke.”
    “I did.”
    Shit.

    Or, the fic in which Naruto's best friends are both gay and he has a lot to figure out about himself. Vaguely post-699 ish.

    Summary

    A Modern day Merlin AU set at the University of St Andrews, featuring teetotal kickboxers, secret wizards, magnificent bodyguards of various genders, irate fairies, imprisoned dragons, crumbling gothic architecture, arrogant princes, adorable engineering students, stolen gold, magical doorways, attempted assassination, drunken students, shaving foam fights, embarrassing mornings after, The Hammer Dance, duty, responsibility, friendship and true love...

    This story was inspired by the thought of Prince William of Wales (and indeed the current Max von Hapsburg) studying at the University of St Andrews; it is also, as the title suggests, at least a little inspired by the operetta 'The Student Prince'.

    Grateful thanks to Lamardeuse and DarkEmeralds for Beta and cheerleading!

    ::2019 note: This story was written BEFORE the TV show introduced the character of Gwaine. It's not that I can't spell, or that I'm perversely writing him out of character - I incorporated other characters from Arthurian legend (Kay, Gawain etc) into my story, and lacking prophetic abilities, my versions naturally don't mesh with the versions subsequently introduced into the show.::
