    Summary

    Rin Itoshi was raised to believe that love must be earned and desire is a sin. When he was sixteen, he proved his obedience by publicly denouncing the boy he loved in front of their entire religious community. Isagi Yoichi lost everything eventually: his family, his home, and months of his life to a conversion camp that tried to pray the truth out of him.

    Five years later, they're at the same university. Same football team. Isagi has rebuilt himself through therapy and found family. Rin is still performing perfection for his father, still attending church, still praying, still begging a silent God to make him normal.

    Summary

    "This was your plan all along, wasn't it? Fucking distracting me with this love bullshit, your pathetic sob stories, and-" Blood explodes inside Rin's mouth like a warning siren. But rage wins. Rin grips Isagi's waist where a silent battleground hides. Fingertips threaten to burn through the fabric, and color over damaged skin with indigo bruises. "Making me feel sorry for you, because of your disgusting scars."

    No matter the challenges and defeats Isagi faces on the field, the brilliant, brave fire in his eyes never goes out.

    But for the first time, Rin sees that light extinguish.

    Summary

    Fresh out of school and on summer break leading up to his last year of high school, Itoshi Rin is set to spend these next three and a half months of his break shutting out the entire world, and doing what he does best: oil painting.
    But Sae, one last time, gives a shake of his head. “You’re going to the Isagi household.”
    "I'm going to what?"

    Out go his initial plans to oil paint all summer and with Sae's force, Rin happens to take up a gardening job at the friendly Isagi household. The son, however, is a total mystery. And as long as Rin does his job and doesn't get close with him, then it should be fine, right?

    He never expected that upon meeting Isagi, feelings begin to swell up like a festering, raw wound. And unfortunately, whether Rin likes it or not, things start to happen between them.

    Summary

    Rin Itoshi is bad at honesty and worse at feelings.

    So when the boy he’s falling for in real life turns out to be the same stranger he’s been building a café with online, Rin does what he does best.

    He hides.

    Will he be able to keep up for long?

    ˚⟡˖ ࣪

    or: a romance about secrets, longing, and the terrifying act of being seen.

    (apparently the only cure to my sickness is to put rin in a cozy café game at 11 p.m. and let him fall in love by accident.)
