    Summary

    “You know so much about everything, Snufkin,” Moomin says, feeling a little awed. “It’s no wonder why you leave us every year. There are amazing things waiting for you out there.”

    A pause. Snufkin hesitates, which is very unlike him-- he usually says exactly what he’s thinking. Slowly, carefully, he says, “There are amazing things waiting for me here, too. That’s why I always come back.”

    Moomin lays there looking at him, and feels very warm. Like someone poured a cup of tea into his heart, on just the right side of burning. It’s absurdly comfortable, and Moomin is absurdly happy.

    Snufkin looks back at him with serious eyes, reaching across the tiny space between them to touch Moomin's face with gentle fingers.

    “I’ll always come back,” he says, like it’s a promise.

    Summary

    Yearning desperately for someone isn’t a pleasant feeling, not all the time, but the giddy expectation of seeing them again is sweeter than apricot jam. Moomin is suddenly much closer to understanding part of the reason why Snufkin is so adamant about leaving in the fall.

    Most of it has to do with the manner of creature he is, the wanderlust in his heart and the hungry curiosity that drives him from place to place, but perhaps some of it has to do with how nice it is to miss someone you love and be missed by them when you’re away.

    "Oh," Moomin says, very still. "Oh, I see."

    Summary

    Moomin takes one look at Snufkin-- in his usual seat on the railing of the bridge Papa made, clutching a fishing rod without a line, face half-buried in his scarf as if that might hide how cherry-red his fever flush is-- and blurts out, “You’re sick!”

    “I’m not,” comes the immediate reply. But it comes in such a hoarse, croaky voice that Moomin is taken aback by the blatant untruth.

    Summary

    "Sunlight bouncing off his fur, Moomin came careening towards him, and all Snufkin wants is to hop from the ledge, take those hands in his own, kiss him on his forehead, his nose- All of a sudden, all the anxiety inside him becomes a clean, deep pool, settling itself into a quiet shape. Snufkin thinks of a word he cannot say aloud."

    Summary

    All Izuku wanted was to get through his first semester of college (mostly) intact, maybe meet some new people and experience some of the quintessential college lifestyle along the way. But that proves more difficult than expected when old wounds and insecurities that he thought he’d finally left behind still lurk around every corner. He has his friends by his side, though, and that just might be enough to get him through it all unscatched.

    Now, if only he can figure out what the deal is with this guy who’s always lurking in the common room in the middle of the night.
