Summary
“Come on, Eiji,” he whispers. “Let go of me now.”
“Dangerous,” is what he says back.
For a few seconds, Ash tenses up. Every fiber in his being is screaming at him, urging him to run, run away, hide, take Eiji with you and hide, hide, hide, as his eyes desperately scan the room searching for something that could be used as a weapon against whoever it is that’s hiding here. But when Eiji sighs, nuzzling him again, his muscles start to relax on their own, although Ash is still very much concerned about potential danger now. When Eiji starts to babble about the princess dragon in the tower and something about the sword of swords, Ash almost screams.
So that is why he was mumbling about danger. He’s dreaming.

Summary
"You were my first, you know."
"What?"
Eiji cleared his throat awkwardly, avoiding eye-contact.
"In the prison, when you--when you kissed me. That was my first time."
"Shit. I--I'm sorry Eiji. I didn't know."

Eiji and Ash discuss the kiss (and finally confront their feelings... kind of). Short little fluff piece. AshEiji <3

Summary
“How romantic,” chirps Eiji, tilting his weight into Ash’s palm. “A kiss in the rain.”
“Check that one off your bucket list?” Ash jokes.
“Almost.” Oh. He’s serious. “Gene Kelly had an umbrella. And he knew how to sing and dance.”
Ash and Eiji ditch a gallery party to fulfill their cliché, chick-flick dreams.

Summary
Shorter should have expected something to go wrong. This was Ash, after all, and for all his charm, it was impossible to go anywhere with him without landing into trouble. Even if that somewhere was Japan, visiting Eiji.
He just didn’t expect this much trouble.

Summary
In this regard, Eiji never asks, only takes what's given.
But because the ground is so much further from them now, because these aren't tides he can reel in, because this scene was never written in the script, "Do you think -" Legs tremble over the rough rope, the penultimate before he falls or flies. "Do you think he would have approved of me?"Mourning is the undertow that tugs them to the seaside each year.

Summary
Eiji lays his head down on Ash's shoulder, forehead against Ash's neck. His lips don't meet Ash's neck, though, and his teeth don't seek out Ash's skin. Nothing painful.
Nothing is painful with Eiji.
But then Eiji shakes softly, and Ash realizes he's hurting Eiji.
"Eiji ... ?" Ash asks carefully. "What's wrong?" What did I do?
"I don't know how to help," Eiji sobs.
Brighter together. Having someone that makes trying worthwhile. Trying trying trying—

Summary
"How could anyone ever want to hurt you ... ?" Eiji whispers.
Ash's eyes drift open again, but he's not sure why. He still can't see anything.
He wants to see Eiji.
"How could anyone not?" Ash replies. His voice isn't bitter, though. Just ... sad.
"I don't want to hurt you."
"... I know."
Ash with Dino, and then Ash with Eiji.

Summary
It’s only right, Ash thinks, that he gets to ask this now, when everything around them feels commonplace. They’ve had enough of the opposite. Ash wants to bask in the mundane with Eiji, to have everything with him after everything. He still isn’t used to this, to quiet nights with each other without the catch, without fearing that something bad is waiting for them tomorrow. But he’s trying to get used to it, because Eiji tells him to. This is our life now, there’s nothing to fear anymore.

Summary
There should be confrontation, rolling tears, sand caught between the cracks of their smiles. There should be answers handed out like festival candy, treasured and sweet -- there’s a perfectly good reason as to why Ash faked his own death, and he’d tell Eiji, and Eiji would let his anger dissipate like the muddy shore beneath their soles. They’d be happy. They’d be relieved.
There should be more than what is given.
“What was the reason this time?”
The past is a fleeting little thing; even Orpheus looked back.

Summary
“I didn’t mean to -,” he added hurriedly, wiping his runny nose with the back of his hand. “I can go back. I’ll ask Max to wire me some m-money and I’ll go back t-tomorrow.”
“I don’t want you to leave.” It didn’t sound like a lie but Ash still searched brown eyes for confirmation. “I’d like you to stay forever.”
Forever. There it was that word again, giving birth to unsustainable hope Ash knew he had to let go sooner or later. It was only a matter of time until Eiji was going to realize he was a lost case, too.
But until then, he was allowed to feel a little bit of whatever that was that took over him whenever he was in the elder boy’s presence. He did not expect to sound so vulnerable when he asked Eiji if he’d lie down with him, nor did he see the relief from being held impossibly tight coming.
He had almost forgotten the way his head fit perfectly in the crook of Eiji’s neck.

Summary
Often, Eiji would wake to the sounds of keyboards clacking and papers shuffling, the sunrise dim against his bleary eyes. He’d turn to find Ash with a pen tucked between his teeth and glasses skewed across the bridge of his nose, throwing himself into his research like he did all those years ago.
Except instead of drug formulas and government conspiracies, he’d be buried in milk formulas and adoption processes; a different kind of life or death.
"Do you think about kids, Eiji?"

Summary
“One day, when this is all over,” Ash’s voice was low and gravelly from sleep, and he vaguely remembered a small amount of alcohol consumption at the window the night before, “you’ll go back to Japan. And you’ll take me with you.” He wiggled his way onto his side, facing Eiji’s sleeping face with an arm tucked under his head. His other hand shifted up until it was wedged between their chests, able to feel the steady rhythm of Eiji’s heartbeat under his fingertips. “Right here. I’ll always be right here, with you.”
Ash and Eiji solve the mystery behind Banana Fish and fall in love at the same time.
