    Summary

    The liveliness and distinct buzzing chatter in the place of the usual comfortable quiet calmness would normally deter someone like Uki, who only really came to the cafe to wind down after a long day. Normally, because today, like every third Saturday of the month for almost half a year now, he’s here for a different reason.

    Summary

    the smart thing to do would be to take the escape route, go back to reading his lines and just pretend this entire thing never happened. it was the right thing to do, perhaps it would haunt him for the coming weeks but it was the sensible thing to do.

    naturally, tsukasa’s mouth overtakes his rationale.

    “i wouldn’t mind,” tsukasa muttered, eyes darting away from rui. “it would just be practice. for a future show we might have to do.”

    a horrid attempt at reasoning. not a single show they had participated in required such a skillset, especially if it required the act of literally kissing his own best friend.

    rui opened his mouth slightly to try and protest, but after opening and closing it a few times, akin to a fish out of water, but he shook his head and coughed awkwardly. “i don’t foresee such a show we’d commit to, but if it would benefit you..”

    ㆍ┈┈ㆍ┈┈ㆍ┈┈ㆍ┈┈ㆍ

    when tsukasa laments to rui about his disdain for a romance script, his mouth moves before his brain can.

    or : fellas! is it gay to kiss your friend on the lips for show practice

    Summary

    “What if he deserved to die?” Alban asks, spitting out the words. “I’m not saying I did it, but just imagine it for a second. Even if I did it, I still might not deserve to be here.”

    Sonny chews on his lip before responding, words chiselled like a neat stack of ancient graves. “I don’t think anyone deserves to die. That’s why there are laws against it.”

    Real rich coming from the man responsible for ferrying him to his own demise.

    or: Tired of his continued thievery, their fair nation essentially gives him a death sentence- imprisonment in the impenetrable Argos's Abyss. He'll still make it out, though. He just has to shake off his persistent escort somewhere along the way.

    Summary

    And while Shu finds girls pretty, likes them well enough even, it’s not like he’s ever felt like doing anything with those feelings. Hell, even Luca is plenty pretty, standing there with his outstretched arms and a smile that could cripple the sun.

    That’s not the point.

    The point is that Shu has always believed that love will come whenever it does and that there’s no need to force it, especially when there are so many more important things to worry about in life. And people like Luca, all brilliance and bravado and barely smothered vivacity, are not going to fall in love with slightly fey, gangly type of boys named Shu Yamino whose analytical skills have only ever won them a couple games here and there no matter how many rose-tinted scenarios they find themselves in. They are just friends that can help each other without turning it into some grand production, so it’ll be fine no matter what happens.

    That’s why it’s easy to agree to be his practice partner.

    -

    aka: dreams of koshien and practice dates are an excellent conduit for romance, apparently.
