    Summary

    Kazuma shrugs, "Besides, it's none of our business where it came from."
    "... Maybe not, but…" His friend lowers his voice, furrowing his brow in thought. "You're curious though, aren't you?"
    On the surface, Kazuma has no interest in van Zieks' personal life, nor does he indulge in gossip about his superiors. At least, he tries not to. But this is… different. Oddly enough, this sort of mundane rumour is the exact opposite of what he's grown accustomed to; workplace chatter about relationships and marriage feels positively ridiculous when compared to the usual talk of corruption and murder. Ryunosuke is right. It does feel weird, even if it is just because van Zieks is being accused of marrying someone he just met instead of the usual legal misconduct. And he would be lying if he denied his friend's accusation.

    --

    In attempting to untangle the truth behind his superior's sudden engagement, Kazuma finds himself untangling his own relationships - with others, himself and the world around him - and it soon becomes clear they are more complicated than he'd ever realised.

    Summary

    “I don’t want you to let me hurt you.”

    “I won’t,” Ryuunosuke promises, pressing a kiss to Kazuma’s sternum. “And you won’t.” His voice is the slightest rumble against his heartbeat. “Okay?”

    That unconditional trust again, the kind that Ryuunosuke seems to have an endless supply of while Kazuma can barely afford it for himself. He nods as much as he’s able. He focuses on the travel of his breath from stomach to lungs to mouth, on letting the tension go with it. Gingerly, he drops his weight lower. Did it feel like this for Ryuunosuke? Like letting someone pry you open? Like if they went far enough, they’d reach some vulnerable and frightened little piece of your soul, curled in your stomach?

    Summary

    Scrabbling to undo the choking line of his cravat, only to shove the blasted thing in his mouth when the rasp of the cloth against his neck made him cry out…and the realisation had settled over him, short of his skin, slotted with light, damning as an iron grate.

    His body would torture him, until it would not. And there was nothing else for it, but to shiver and ache and endure, as always, until…until…just the indeterminate stretch of the thought itself—until—

    Summary

    As Kazuma settles into his apprenticeship, he realizes his funds are low and he finds an unexpected calling: writing an erotica novella for a magazine. However, the more he puts on his plate of responsibilities, the more he has time to reflect what he's done, and the likeliness that guilt is dangerously close to consuming him.

    Complete!
