    Summary

    Adam may have your attention now, he thought, but I have a sixteen-year head start.
    Kojiro had almost two decades of friendship with Kaoru, of inside jokes and childhood memories, of being next door neighbors and school friends… Adam couldn’t just overcome that, even with his mysterious charm and his crooked smile.
    That’s what Kojiro told himself, anyway.
    He knew Kaoru: he knew all of the complexities and nuances of what made him him, how he loved skating but hated math, how on his birthday all he wanted was calligraphy supplies but his family insisted on getting him sports gear, how he grew out his hair just to piss off his dad who always said he was too feminine.

    So yeah, Kojiro was screwed.


    Or: A lesson in being patient and playing the long game.
