    Summary

    The room is too bright.

    It’s quaint, in a nauseating sort of way. Polished floors glint from the gleaming honeycomb chandeliers overhead, make him squint. A few vases sprinkled here and there, filling the room with a sickeningly sweet scent – even a waffle-cone headrest framing the silken sheets of a neatly-tucked bed. Outside, the golden sun gleams, the gentle rays of light spilling past curtains that waver in the afternoon breeze.

    It's meant to be beautiful. Luxurious. Welcoming.

    With one sweep of his cane, Shadow Milk tears it apart.

    Summary

    He couldn't describe it, but a part of him felt envious. The way he so calmly dealt with animals, in contrast to his earlier attitude, made him feel an emotion he was not yet accustomed to feeling.

    Guilty? Maybe. Regretful? Probable.

    Whatever it was, he didn't like it. He was willing to do anything to get rid of it as soon as possible.

     

    OR: Early redemption Shadow Milk says words that hurt the ancient he's been trying ever so hard to try and like. His solution to the problem? He certainly doesn't use his words.

    Summary

    Akira wishes the vocabulary he’s gained in his twenty-four years of life had a word that could answer Haru’s question. How do you summarise ‘I’m doing great, but I’m also having a midlife crisis over a kink I discovered about myself and I’m afraid it’s starting to affect work because I haven’t stopped thinking about my co-worker since’ into a single word without Haru thinking he needs a three-week vacation?

    Or, Akira discovers a pottery channel and something about himself along with it.

    Summary

    “Apologies if I startled you. I take it you were hoping to slip away from all your adoring visitors?”

    Akira wiped his hand on his pant leg. “That was my goal, yes.”

    “Well, your secret is safe with me,” the stranger crooned. He patted the seat beside him. “Come. I don’t bite—usually. Hopefully, the company of one isn’t too bothersome?”

    “I can handle one,” Akira replied.

    Sharp fangs teased the corner of the stranger’s smirk. “I’m sure you can.”

    ---

    Mere hours before his arranged marriage, Akira indulges in a secluded garden.

    Summary

    …There’s just one problem. One goddamn little hiccup, a hitch in the road that could cause a tailspin.

    She’s already waiting for him by the kitchen counter, idly drumming chipped peach nails along the top. For a second, when she doesn’t think anyone’s looking, her expression is quiet and thoughtful. Withdrawn. The same one she had the other night, when he asked her to take care of the team. When he gave her the watch he can just see on her right wrist, barely hidden beneath her uniform sleeve. The metal glints in the light.

    When she sees him, her face brightens to her usual. To the warm, seemingly-carefree smile she tends to wear. Creasing dimples in her freckle-doppled cheeks, a twinkle in her bright red eyes framed by auburn curls. Hard not to feel special with her attention on you.

    Kotone.

    “Shiomi,” he says, schooling his tone to be as sharp and short as he can manage. “What do you want?”
