    Summary

    Body, eyes, hands, teeth.

    Or,

    “What? I dunno, I’ll just…” Yoshiki lifts his arm and bends it and is surprised to find how much it hurts. “Shit- wait…”

    Hikaru watches him struggle to even touch the top of his head, then lights up and suggests, “Hey, why don’t I do it?”

    “Do what?” Yoshiki mumbles, still preoccupied with figuring out the best way to go about showering.

    “Wash your hair.”

    Yoshiki keeps fidgeting with his hair for a second before he actually hears Hikaru, at which point he lowers his hands and turns around agonizingly slowly, like a rusted hinge that screeches when moved. “…What?"

    “He would never have done this,” says Yoshiki.

    “Done what?” says Hikaru.

    “Kissed me,” says Yoshiki.

    Summary

    Hikaru bares his teeth. His reflection grins horribly back at him, fanged and bright.

    He’s not ugly. He’s not striking, either. His mama says he has hair like caught starlight, just like his daddy. It’s unusual in a small village like theirs, but not enough to set him apart. No one cares about a towheaded country boy with fucked-up teeth and below-average height. He’s the runt of the litter, even though he makes up for it with raw physical talent at any sport of his choosing. Let his stupid ferocity speak for him. Let the sweat and the toil and the dirt convince you that he’s worth anything.

    Or: Hikaru reconsiders what it means to be Yoshiki's friend when he learns that a girl from 3-A has a crush on him.

    "You know," Hikaru says. "If the heat's too much of a problem, I can make myself colder. I could be, like, an icepack for you, if you want."

    Summary

    “You do have the instincts of a fighter, after all.”

    William didn’t let it show, but that did take him by surprise—he thought he’d been doing a pretty decent job concealing that particular side of him.

    “Oh, do I give it away that easily?” he responded without missing a beat. “My self-defense tutor would be disappointed—my brothers insisted we hire him after I was kidnapped some time ago. He always said the element of surprise was to be my best weapon.”

    Sherlock smirked, probably seeing right through him.

    “Clever man,” he conceded, but William knew he wasn’t talking about his “tutor”. He was forced to suppress yet another smile. Damn you, Holmes.

    We didn't have enough sherliam interactions in canon that were just "I know you know I know you know, but I have to pretend that I don't know" so I'm here to add some more (this fic is pretty much just a love letter to the catch me if you can scene).

    But also: what if Sherlock figured out what William's planning just a little earlier?
