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.Series

Summary
He and Kojiro talked everyday. They talked about skating, about art and about cooking.
They did not talk about the last time they spoke face to face. They absolutely did not talk about the kisses and the secrets they’d shared. It’s as if they'd been transported back to a time before that ill-fated, incredible summer, their past surgically removed so that their friendship could heal. But Kaoru felt the ridged edges of the scar between them, the rift mended but still palpable.
Or: Kaoru leaves Okinawa. He should've known better than to think Kojiro would give up on him that easily.
