Summary
He doesn’t get how the only reason she could play like that—how the only reason she won—was because it was him she was against. Because even though he played differently tonight, even though he pushed her to her limits and challenged her like no one ever has, he was still Taichi. Her best and oldest friend.
Or
The aftermath of the Yoshino Tournament, but with more tension.

Summary
It wasn’t too unusual for Chihaya to recite poems under her breath, but she seemed barely conscious of what she was doing. In fact, she didn’t even seem to realize she was in class. She was slumped against the desk, her head braced against her palm, and she was staring unseeingly at the wall to her left while she hummed. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes unfocused, yet unlike that morning, it didn’t seem as though she was afflicted by her cold.
If anything, she almost looked…drunk?
tldr: Chihaya is sick. Nishida tries to help. It does not go well for anyone.

Summary
For as long as she can remember, he’s always been just Taichi. Taichi, the boy who always teased her, the boy who became her best friend, the boy who started a karuta club with her, the boy who’s always been by her side.
But now, he’s something else. He’s not just Taichi.
He’s the boy she loves more than anyone else in the world.

He’s not sure what comes over him at that moment. One second he’s standing behind the counter, and the next he’s by Chizuru’s side, reaching out his hand and grabbing the man’s arm. He squeezes tightly, and then the words just spill from his mouth.
“Don’t touch my wife.”

Summary
What’re you afraid of?
She’d asked him that once, eager to hear what got under his skin and broke the calm surface of his reserved nature. He'd told her getting hit with a pitch, and at the time it was true. It was a relevant fear, an experience he disliked having to endure.
He wishes his fears were still that small.

Summary
"I wonder if they'll ever add karuta to the Olympics."
The remark makes Taichi snort as he looks over his laptop at his girlfriend. She's sitting cross-legged on the floor in front of his TV, half watching the current sports coverage, and half scrolling on her phone.
"It's a Japanese card game. You have to know Japanese to play," he points out the obvious. "Besides, you practically won the gold medal for karuta by becoming queen."

Summary
It's normally on his walk home from campus that his mind begins to wander, and almost always inevitably turns to her.
They're friends now, but still not quite as close as they once were. He doesn't think they'll ever be that close again. The lingering sting of her quiet rejection still haunts him, and it's only when he's absorbed in his schoolwork that he can blissfully escape the constant reminder in the back of his mind saying "she doesn't love you, time to move on."
Besides, Arata's in Tokyo now, filling the empty space Taichi left behind. She'll be fine without him.—
AU in which Chihaya doesn’t figure out her feelings right away, and it takes a phone call from Arata for Taichi to believe that he might still have a chance.
