    Summary

    If Nagi hadn’t shown up to school today, he would be waiting patiently for Reo to come home, either lying in Reo’s bed or sitting at his desk. As long as Nagi’s around, Reo always has someone to return to, someone waiting for him.

    No matter what changes this year —this precipice of a year— Reo will survive it. He has Nagi, after all.

    Everyone knows of Mikage Reo. Brilliant, handsome, and well-mannered, he’s practically a prince in the eyes of his classmates.

    If only he didn’t have such a peculiar habit of talking to himself.

    Summary

    Reo’s greatest fear is being a marionette: wooden limbs clacking in predetermined ways, controlled in every sway, only destined to follow someone else's instructions. Then, he meets Nagi, and he imagines cutting away these strings and finally becoming free.

    He has to die to realize this isn't the case. That this has never been the case, and that Reo is nothing but a blunt instrument in the hands of fate, meant to guide Nagi to go far from his reach.

    It’s okay. If it’s Nagi, then he can bear it.

    Summary

    Mikage Reo's fate is sealed at age 11, when he recieves his Secondary Gender results and sees that he is beta.

    Sure, it means that he's objectively not a special person, that he's never going to go down in history, that he's not going to be able to understand about 80% of the people he works with, that he is specifically destined to Not Be Nagi Seishirou's partner, but it doesn't matter.

    It doesn't matter. Really.

    Summary

    “You’ve lost weight,” are the first words Reo says to him, a whole year since Seishiro has breathed the same air as him.

    “That’s not very nice.” Seishiro’s mouth is on auto-pilot, brain still processing the sight of Reo right in front of him.

    There’s Mikage Reo, synonymous with all that’s good in this world, at least to Seishiro. He looks different; his hair is longer and he’s much warier.

    (He looks exactly how Seishiro remembers him.)

    Or: Somehow, Seishiro gets Hanahaki, a year since he’s seen the only boy he’s ever loved. He handles it extremely well, which is to say, not at all.
