Summary
Ranpo doesn’t follow a schedule, but he always shows up—usually leaning against a lamp post with cheap vending machine coffee in hand, waiting for Chuuya after his evening gym shift. It’s never every day. Never on the same days. But often enough that even the gym receptionist notices.
Chuuya is stubborn and sharp, not one to tolerate tagalongs or pity, especially not from someone who limps more than he does, and he's a *gymnast*. But Ranpo isn’t there to pity—he himself hates that. He's there because he wants to be.
Ranpo, too, has his own ghosts, after all. His cane isn’t just a prop. His jokes aren’t just jokes. Behind the teasing lies someone who’s lived with persistent pain, fatigue, and the thousand tiny accommodations no one ever sees. Except for Chuuya.
