Summary
This drabble is an ode to Kaiju No.8 B-Side, and the fact that not knowing about it often leads to a bit of a mischaracterisation of Narumi: the slacker prodigy persona is something of an act! Seriously, go read B-Side! It’s awesome! Narumi is amazing in it!

It’s half past two in the morning.
Narumi puts the barbell back on the rack and chugs down what’s left in his water bottle. Sweat is dripping from his brow as he wipes his mouth with the back of his wrist. His hands shake a little from exertion, which is always a good sign.
The gym is deafeningly quiet when he drops to the ground to do a round of post-workout stretches. Everyone except for on-duty guards is dead asleep, which suits Narumi just fine; there’s no risk he’s gonna get exposed during his illicit late-night affairs.
He stretches slowly and methodically, paying equal attention to each muscle group. He can’t risk an avoidable injury, and he went hard tonight.
He always goes hard.

Summary
A picture of them goes viral on Twitter.
At first glance the photo is nothing worth flagellating over. If it was taken ten seconds earlier it would’ve featured a pretty steamy kiss, but as things are it’s just a picture of Hoshina, his back to the camera, carefully draping his coat over Narumi’s shoulders.
That’s not the problem. The problem is Narumi’s face: completely, utterly, 100% whipped. Hopelessly besotted. Genuinely embarrassing to look at.
The PR department is a little irked. Narumi is a little irked too, albeit for very different reasons.
“If -we- went viral, then why the hell is #hoshiro trending on Twitter?”

Summary
Power strong enough to unravel molecules washes over them both, threatening to tear them apart, but Jayce won’t let go—he clings to Viktor, their foreheads pressed flush, desperately holding on, and Jayce… Jayce…
Jayce’s eyes snap open.

Summary
Every once in a while contentious glances are sent Billy’s way. There he is, they seem to say. The wayward son who drove his father into an early grave. Such a pity. Such a shame.
Billy doesn’t bother returning their pointed glares. All he lets them see is an unrepentant disgrace of a son who didn’t even bother to wear black to his own father’s funeral.

Summary
He bounces his leg. Taps his fingers against the table. Rips the pull tab clean off the empty can of Slice, flips it back and forth, crushes it between his fingers, prickles his thumb in the process. Runs a trembling hand through his hair until stray locks start to escape from his ponytail. Picks at the hem of his shirt. Bites his lips raw.
Makes Steve Harrington bury his face in his hands and groan.
“Oh my God, dude, please just go have a smoke before you explode.”
