    Summary

    and it’s 9 PM and it isn’t really, is it, it’s far more like 10 PM if you round up, and 10 PM skies are the same kind of bitterness that is in that old jabberwock wine, and bitterness feels like getting older, and bitterness feels like hating the city and wishing you could go home home home,

    hinata is never going to go home.

    (hinata, a decade after leaving jabberwock and moving to the city)

    Summary

    Today, though, Komaeda knows who he is. He knows that he is Komaeda Nagito, an orphan among orphans who lives on an island with fourteen other people, that he likes drinking Blue Ram and he likes reading mystery novels and he likes Hinata in the same way he tends to hate Hinata, and he is Komaeda Nagito, and he is not happy. He knows this in the way that you know innate things, the way you know how to walk and talk and speak. Most days, it doesn’t feel so seamless.

    He doesn’t take it as an improvement.

    There are things worth forgetting, he learns, as his memory comes back to him.

    (two years after the day komaeda was declared to be in remission, he reflects.)

    Summary

    The conversation falls a bit stilted from there, as Luca looks around the room with a gaze that feels familiar, that Edgar recognizes the sensation of, while the other mixes more paint and muddles the pure colours more and more to avoid confronting the person in his room. Edgar’s thoughts take two paths: I miss the feeling of him sitting on my bed, watching me, except I would be wearing a few less clothes and he would be a little less abrasive and I hope he doesn’t get any blood on my bed.

    These visits always ricochet and end in thoughts like that.

    (edgar remembers the past him and luca used to share. luca does not.)

    Summary

    Life is such a lonely goddamn place.

    He smiles every day, though. He wakes up with a smile, showers with a smile, cooks breakfast with a smile, throws his breakfast in the trash with a smile, takes a walk with a smile, almost gets hit by a car with a smile, gives everything up and goes to bed again with a smile. Everything is a bit more lonely with a smile, but at least he doesn’t smile with his teeth.

    He thinks he’d rather die.

    (komaeda's nonlinear, and tentatively unreliable, journey as he pieces together all that happened in his past, one fragment at a time. or; sometimes, closure is a hushed confession at the sight of your end.)

    Summary

    And yet, he’s on a break right now, isn’t he? Because it’s his birthday.

    And it’s New Year’s, more importantly.

    And he still feels like shit.

    Summary

    When Komaeda wakes up, Hinata will get up and get them some food, maybe. He knows that Komaeda likes the dry cinnamon biscuits and banana muffins, and Hinata needs a bottle of orange juice (or maybe some more coffee). They’ll talk quietly about anything they like, Komaeda’s raspy giggles motivating Hinata to keep the conversation afloat-- in turn, he’ll listen to Komaeda talk about The Raven again, for despite all the times he’s discussed it, Hinata would still listen. They’ll kiss softly-- on the cheek, the forehead, the mouth, the neck-- and they’ll intertwine together,

    and in the same breath. Komaeda will remind Hinata that he is dying, and Hinata will breathe through his nose and try not to cry.

    (hinata recounts his relationship with his past-tense angel, komaeda, as the two of them escape all that they have for a chance at the slight hope they've found in the spaces between their living tragedy. scattered accounts of their journey and what comes after, guided by the dichotomy of romanticized death and fearful love that fill their skies like fallen stars.)

    Summary

    it’s a long moment of quiet before hinata talks again. komaeda busies himself with pulling out blades of grass and four leaf clovers from the ground, tarnishing the perfect landscaping of hope’s peak academy with his wicked touch. it’s fine, though. he’s been doing that ever since he came here. hinata interrupts that train of thought before it goes any further and says, “what are you planning to do after?”

    irony is quite a fascinating thing.

    (hinata and komaeda spend time together a week before the kamukura project, and komaeda realizes something that destroys the hopeful veneer he always had. please mind the tags and starting note before reading.)

    Summary

    today, though, momota lies awake, watching the red numbers blink on his digital clock, sneaking glances over at ouma, who has been lying on his back, staring up at the ceiling for the past half an hour now. he looks like a renaissance painting, or something, his dark hair fanning his head on the pillow, dark violet eyes half lidded, lips pursed in thought. momota wonders what he’s thinking. more than that, he wants to know what ouma is thinking, which isn’t so uncommon, but it’s one thing to want, it’s another thing to desire, and nowadays momota is finding more and more that he can’t tell the difference.

    in the quiet, between pondering topics that could be running through his partner’s head, momota thinks, how did we get here?

    and then ouma says, “this is the last time we’ll play this game.”

    (or, momota and ouma are friends with benefits, and ouma declares that this is the end.)

    Summary

    KOMAEDA NAGITO smiles bitterly. “you really are nothing like my family.”

    and both think, for a moment, maybe we can form a new one.

    but that’s all idealistic bullshit, isn’t it?

    Summary

    but that’s the thing, isn’t it? he can talk to them all he wants, but he isn’t going to calm down. he’s not going to stop being afraid, or being fucked up, or fucking- or fucking losing his shit on everything, and there is only one goddamn person who gets that.

    one goddamn person who is more of a suicide case than hinata is.

    Summary

    It’s a beautiful dichotomy of all he ever thought it could be. He wants nothing more than Hinata and a life with him, ideally one of hope and intimacy rather than despair. That, he muses, would be such a wondrous existence.

    His pale hands, subconsciously, tighten around the diamond, the edges nearly cutting into his already bruised skin. It’s enough to laugh.

    For, Komaeda is not wondrous, is he?

    (komaeda and hinata attempt to define permanence, separate death and life in the lens of romance, and reach some closure within their complicated yet endless relationship.)

    Summary

    “Not playing Bowser may be the first step to winning,” Chiaki teases.

    From where he’s laying, Nagito chips in, “He doesn’t seem like the epitome of speed.”

    “Okay, Shy Guy main.”

    “Shy Guy is perfectly respectable,” Nagito says mildly.

    “Just you,” Komaeda echoes. “It’s always just been you.”

    He’s not sure what to make of the defeated tone Komaeda’s voice takes.

    Summary

    “Ah, Hinata-kun doesn’t have to apologize! He can do whatever he likes! I still appreciate him regardless!” he reassures enthusiastically, in an almost adoring way.

    … And. The thing is.

    Hinata has been viscerally aware of Komaeda’s attraction to him ever since he awoke from the Neo World Program.

    (or, years of self discovery, where love fits in amidst tragedy, recovery, and a journey that is as much theirs as it is hinata's.)

    It is a wonder that Naegi Makoto continues to view a place like this as his home. A boring home. A boring place.

    A boring person.

    Summary

    and, really, if anyone asks, he just came up here for some fresh air. climbing up way too many steps to get to the rooftop of hope’s peak academy, and if anyone asks, he really is just trying to breathe again, and if anyone asks why he can’t breathe, he’ll just call it allergies.

    it’s spring. maybe. he can count on his pinky finger the amount of springs he remembers.

    Summary

    all that’s messy, really, is the attic, and there’s mostly photographs in there that he told himself he would check, he promised his boyfriend he would get around to it, but he can’t bear to look at them. they’re of his parents and him, back when he had rosy cheeks and more genuine smiles.

    he thinks, sometimes, that it’s selfish. to look at those pictures. because he should appreciate them, should look back at them with fond memories and a slight twinge in his chest, but he hardly feels anything. he still wasn’t happy in those photos, is the thing, even if he was five years old. he’s not sure he’s ever been happy. he’s not sure his parents were, either.

    (or, it's the anniversary of his parents' death.)

    Summary

    but in moments like these, where he is left vulnerable for reasons he is not entirely certain of, it slips underneath his skin and crawls up his throat. nothing can happen; no internal wounds, metaphorical or literal, can be sustained. he is not built to hurt. he is not built to be vulnerable. this is a truth he knows, one he is certain of.

    and yet.

    (or, kamukura locks himself in a closet for reasons he cannot ascertain.)
