    Summary

    It starts, like any good small talk does, about the weather.

    Jane. I am dying.

    Shane is still in bed, spending his last hour before practice clicking endlessly through YouTube when he gets the notification. With no one there to see, he lets the smile settle comfortably as it spreads, and switches apps. He’s about to shoot down Ilya’s latest attempt at desperate seduction when another text arrives.

    I will play next game with no feet because cold took them.

    This... was new.

    Shane expects texts from Ilya to bring him to his knees. They do, but in another way instead.

    Summary

    The first thing Shane Hollander tells his parents about the man he will marry one day is that he’s kind of a dick.

    Or, five times Yuna asked Shane about Ilya Rozanov (and one time she asked David about them).

    Summary

    “Indou-san,” Hara-sensei greets as Hikaru stands in front of him. “How are you holding up?”

    It’s a question he has always hated, right back since fifth grade, when his daddy died. It’s a question that forces him to look at himself, at what he’s feeling, and decide what other people want to see and what’s too ugly to reveal. It’s exhausting. Can’t Hara-sensei tell just by looking at him? Can’t he tell Hikaru doesn’t want to wake up most mornings? Can’t he tell that it’s wrong, that Hikaru shouldn’t be the one standing here? Or is Hikaru really that good at tricking others into not looking that closely at him?

    It’s what he’s done his entire life, after all. Only one person even tried.


    After the death of his best friend, Hikaru tries to fill the space he left.

    Summary

    Yoshikaru Week 2025, Day 5: Date

    "Hey, Yoshiki... look." He stops to marvel in front of one display in particular, but his arms are slack at his sides. The creatures bobbing inside are mostly transparent, but the light shining through them highlights their multicolor reality: the blue of their bodies; the yellow-green of their internal organs; their numerous tendrils, tipped with purple and fluorescent pink. The placard beneath the tank reads 'Flower Hat Jellyfish'. "This one kinda looks like me."

    He's right. They're beautiful.

    Or: Yoshiki and Hikaru visit an aquarium.

    Summary

    Yoshikaru Week 2025, Day 1: Dorodoro

    Finally after what feels like several minutes (but was likely closer to 10 mortifying seconds) the first knuckle of your index finger grazes something hard. You practically lunge for it, grasping it tightly before you can lose track of it again. The sudden movement causes Hikaru's entire body to tense up and you're sure you feel drool start to seep into the fabric over the shoulder of your other arm.

    ("It's the weekend," he'd said. "Who wears a backpack on the weekend?" Like he's some kind of expert on what's socially acceptable... but at the end of the day, you suppose you're just as much of an idiot for listening to him.)

    Or: Yoshiki and Hikaru sneak snacks into a movie theater.
