    Summary

    Ren grins. “You want me to date Goro?”
    “Pretend-date Goro,” Ann corrects. “And make his crush jealous.”
    “This is not going to work,” Goro says.
    “Sure, I’ll do it,” says Ren, still grinning. He does his own rendition of Ann’s eyelash bat. “Go out with me, Goro-kun?”
    “I’m older than you, so show me a little respect,” Goro says crossly. “Our relationship is off to a bad start, Ren-kun.”

    (or: what not to do when you're fake-dating your real crush.)

    Summary

    “Yeah. Fuck.” Ryuji wipes his mouth with a napkin. “It is good, though. Weird combo.”

    “Yes,” says Akechi, tone mocking as he steals one of Ryuji’s onion rings. He’s doing a voice. “Weird combo.

    Summary

    “I’m really okay, Makoto,” he says. “It was just rough being with my parents. I’ll bounce back. I always do, don’t I?”
    “That’s… true,” Makoto says, even if she sounds unsure of the words she’s saying. “Just… I think…”
    “Whatever it is, you can say it,” Akira says.
    “I think therapy might be a good idea,” Makoto says, almost in a rush.

    Summary

    “Not even a hello,” Akechi says, almost like he’d been in January.
    “Okay, then, hi, ‘Akito Sato,’” Ryuji says.
    “You really should have figured that out sooner,” Akechi says. “It’s nearly as bad an alias as Taro Tanaka.”
    He might as well have applied as Taro Tanaka, the way Ryuji just accepted the application. It’d sounded good, but not too good to be true, and he shouldn’t have asked Yusuke to help him vet applicants because Yusuke had said it would be fine.
    “Yu-huh,” Ryuji grumbles. This really is his own fault, and blaming Yusuke isn’t fair. It’s not like Yusuke would have expected anyone applying, no matter how generic their name may be, to actually be Goro freakin’ Akechi.

    Ryuji gets his first apartment. His roommate is... unexpected.

    Summary

    "Don't," says Akechi. His voice shakes. He wraps his arms around his middle like he's bleeding out from his core. "Go away. Don't bother with me, there's no point, I'm dead, I... fuck." He laughs, but even Ren, the curator of all things Goro Akechi, has never heard him make such a sound; despair has always taken him differently, wild and keening, barely leashed.

    For a moment, Ren is back in the engine room, with Akechi crumpled on the cold floor before him, defeated and alone. Instinct screams a warning in the back of his head.

    * * *

    Under the effects of despair, Akechi lets slip a secret he would have preferred to take back to the grave. It's a kick in the teeth—no, it's worse, it's so much worse—but Ren can deal with it. He can deal with anything. He has to.

    He wishes his friends would stop asking if he's okay.
