and they said that boys were boys (but they were wrong) by flylittleswan

Summary
"I dunno. It just feels like a whole lot of nothing." Kenma pulls the closet door shut, stuffing their hands into their pockets. "Like, there's nothing I need to be or do. It feels...freeing."
Now that they say it out loud, they realize that it feels more and more right to say it's freeing. When they said they were a boy, they felt weird for liking girly things. When they said they were a girl, they felt guilty for wanting to act more girly.
When they say that they have no gender, it frees them of all of the stupid societal restrictions that held them down. They are well and truly outside of every norm of society.
They are well and truly a freak.
And that's okay with them.
"I'm...just Kenma," Kenma ends up saying, to finish off the conversation. "And that's enough for me."

Summary
“You won’t forget about me when you make all these shiny new college friends, right?”
He played it off as a casual question, but Kenma sensed the underlying seriousness in the almost delicate way he asked—vulnerability seeping through his voice despite the attempted nonchalant delivery.
“I couldn’t even if I tried,” he admitted as his head lay on Kuroo’s chest, the older man rubbing his back like a cat. It was intimate moments like this that made Kenma question everything, having to remind himself that they were just friends.
Kenma has depended on Kuroo all his life—to feel comfortable, to make friends, to be understood. Until he realizes that he’s gay, and that he has to go on this journey of self-discovery himself, lest his secret feelings for his straight best friend make things even harder.
So he ventures out to college on his own in an attempt to understand himself and his sexuality, and to prove to himself that he didn’t need Kuroo by his side to do it (also to tamp down his feelings for the guy, but that proves to be much more difficult).
It makes him feel freer than he thought, and it makes Kuroo feel a little sidelined. Realizations ensue.

Summary
"Fuck, I'm sorry... I wasn’t watching where I was going," she said, realizing she had bumped into another girl, who had landed on her backside.
Vi extended a hand to help, but received no reaction from the other girl, who silently got to her knees and began feeling around for something on the hospital's polished floor.
‘Oh shit. Fuck.’
Vi dropped to her knees instantly, realizing she had just knocked over a blind woman.
