    Summary

    Between sharing a home with his ex-boyfriend, writing the perfect best-man speech, learning how to co-parent a cat, and struggling with deadly seasonal allergies, Seok Matthew has no place for romance in his life.

    Alas, love very often finds us in our least willing moments.

    (During a fall wedding, best-man Matthew and mixologist Gunwook bond over two things: seasonal allergies and failed past relationships. As they keep in touch, they discover many more things they have in common.)

    Summary

    Seok Yujin knows three things for absolute certain:

    1. He graduates high school in two weeks, 
    2. His nineteenth birthday is in a month and a half, and
    3. His dad has never told him who his other father is.

    (Or: Mamma Mia, here Matthew goes again.)

    Summary

    “You look tired.” Gunwook speaks up in a barely audible voice. The sky is clear tonight, the curtains are drawn and rays of moonlight have found themselves trapped inside Gunwook’s eyes. The way they sparkle is almost comical. It feels like they're on the set of a romcom and the light department is doing everything in their power to make it known — Gunwook likes him. It makes Matthew’s face drop.

    or: Gunwook falls for Matthew despite all the warning signs, despite the Hanbin-shaped hole in Matthew's heart.

    Summary

    Hanbin wasn’t the type of person you’d expect to be on bad terms with anyone.

    He was quite the opposite, in fact. Words like ‘social butterfly’, or ‘easy going’ would be a criminal understatement of his super-human social competencies. Not getting into conflicts is something he kind of prides himself on.

    So picture the situation now: The Sung Hanbin has found himself caught in a feud. One he himself started, no less.

    The subject of his ire, however, is not a person. And perhaps therein lies the cracks in his social prowess. While he may be an expert with matters of the human mind and heart, knows how and when to deploy flowery language and disarming smiles as easily as a flick of the wrist, he is stumped when the opponent before him does not possess the ability to perceive.

    Said soulless object of Hanbin’s troubles comes in the shape of a tightly cling-wrapped triangular block, golden and red fillings of jam-like consistency squished between thick, fluffy layers of white.

     

    In other words: Yes, Sung Hanbin was beefing with a sandwich.

    Summary

    But he doesn’t remember, and he wonders if that’s the key to this whole thing- to the way Isagi’s teeth sometimes don’t look the same in his mouth when he smiles one day and then the next, or how his hair will occasionally shine a darker blue than usual, the flecks of green in his eyes never the same shade; as if he’s forgetting small specifics about his own appearance, cycling through minute details to replicate Isagi’s form every morning until he gets it right.

    Arms wrap around his waist, and Nagi puts his palm over Isagi’s hand where it rests on his stomach, feeling the boy squeeze his fingers back. Tonight, they’re slightly too long.
    ____

    No matter how many times Nagi kills him, Isagi Yoichi always comes back.

    Summary

    Four years ago, at seventeen years old, on a random, meaningless pitch in Jakarta, Indonesia, Rin Itoshi tried to kiss Yoichi Isagi for the first time, and instantly hated himself for it. Four years ago, at seventeen years old, he had run away to France, torn himself away from the memory of Isagi’s mouth barely a breath away from his, blocked his number and changed his own. Four years ago, at seventeen years old, Rin Itoshi had played a part in winning the U20 World Cup, and all he remembers is the boy he couldn’t bring himself to kiss.

    Four years after Japan wins the U20 World Cup, Rin Itoshi returns to the life, and the person, he ran away from. He trips over the love he thought he left by the door, in the form of Yoichi Isagi butting his way back in and refusing to leave.

    Summary

    Mikage Reo opens his eyes to find himself in a place he's never been before, and for some reason, he looks no older than seven years old. Is this some kind of dream, no, nightmare? And why is he wearing such frilly pajamas!?

    Reo's maid tells him that he is the Duke's son and is engaged to the Prince. To Reo's chagrin, he now realizes that he is in the world of the Dating Sims game that he used to play. The game in which Isagi Yoichi is the protagonist and Nagi Seishirou is one of the capture targets aka love interests. And Reo, of course Reo is the villainess of the story.

    --
    I think I saw a couple of stories like this in Nagireo works but lemme add one more. Reo is a guy I know but indulge me and let me use the word villainess XD

    That's the funny thing about binary stars. If one dies, the other almost always follows closely behind. Unlucky fates are cursed with another.

    Summary

    "Rin..."

    He hears Isagi say his name. But his eyes are still on those hands, on how they slip up his body, over pale flesh and sharp bones and bloodied clothing, all the way to Isagi’s throat.

    The collar of Isagi’s ruined shirt bunches in his grip and he pulls them close, thrilling in the gasp it draws from him, eyes on the bruised line of his neck and how it jumps for Rin.

    "No one gets to kill you but me." He snarls it into Isagi’s mouth, the sheer few centimeters they are apart. “They don't deserve the right.”
    ----

    As seniors of the illustrious Blue Lock Academy for the Deadly Arts, partners Itoshi Rin and Isagi Yoichi know that fair and right have no place in the cutthroat world of assassins. Even still, they're both after the same goal-- though their shared history together keeps complicating things.

    Summary

    Rin squints at Isagi, like one might at a very large bug in a very inconvenient place. "I don't get you."

    Isagi shakes his head. "Seriously? Right back at you."

    Rin scoffs and turns on heel, just- walking off. Shit. He really did that. Isagi watches him take several steps away, completely dumbfounded, before Rin glances back over his shoulder.

    "Are you coming, or did you just take the train here because you felt like it?"

    The sun catches the sea glass sheen of his eyes for just a moment before his bangs fall back into his face, but that's all it takes to issue the challenge, loud and clear: did you think I’d make this easy on you?

    "Yeah, yeah. Lead the way."

    ----

    Concerned with how things were left after U-20, Isagi goes to visit Rin before the end of break. They address it. Sort of.

    Sora perks up. His eyes are a shiny blue. “Oh? You think so?” he asks, as if the ends of his pants don’t drag on the sand, as though his gloves aren’t catching on his fingertips, as though tragedy isn’t waiting to burst from its shell underneath his skin. “Other people say they suit me just fine.”

    Summary

    Isagi and his stupid, crazy, insane eyes that see right through him like he’s a glass house. They're the ocean at the drop of a cliff ledge: Dangerous. Beckoning. Fatal. Rin wants to kill him, or something—destroy Isagi before he can destroy Rin. Not that Isagi ever could, of course.

    Thoughtfully, Sae says, “You can’t just be normal about things. It’s always indifference or obsession.”

    After suffering a grueling defeat on the national stage, Itoshi Rin enters the off-season plagued with bloodlust—the next time he faces his long-standing rival on the pitch, Isagi Yoichi, he promises to devour him whole.

    That was the plan, at least, but their reunion arrives much sooner. When he and Isagi Yoichi cross paths again, it’s at the Wellness Studio he does yoga classes at. Without the distance of the game between them, Rin realizes how thin the line between love and hate really is.

    or: Rin does yoga. Isagi takes up pottery. Things happen.

    Summary

    If my roommate wanted to move out so badly, why wouldn’t he just tell me?

    I got kind of upset finding out, only because I thought the two of us discussed everything together. If he had a problem with me, he could at least try to talk to me about it before deciding to move out entirely, right? Even if it’s just so he can move out and buy a house for his girlfriend or whatever, I guess—couldn’t he at least talk to me about it instead of going behind my back?

    The next morning, I was still upset, and it was a rare weekend that my roommate didn’t go out. So I asked him about it, sort of, and kind of insinuated that if he wanted to leave so badly, he might as well do it sooner than later. I didn’t mean for it to be rude, but in retrospect, it might have been unfair, especially the part where I told him I’d help with packing up. But I think I have the right to be a little upset, at least, right? AITA?
