    Summary

    He clicks Answer, putting you on loudspeaker.

    “Well, good morning to you, too.” His voice comes out a little graver than the usual as he stretches his neck back, his face to the ceiling.

    “Yes, good morning, Sae-kun. And welcome home,” goes your greeting, even though the two of you get on these calls on a daily basis and it hardly registers any difference anymore whether he’s in Spain or his home country. Other than the fact, of course, that in these coming days, you get to see each other in person. He can sense a little of that AM grogginess in your voice that tells him that, even for you, a call this early isn’t the norm—which really isn’t, and is a fact he can take relief in, he supposes. Still, you softly clear your throat and that’s how he knows you’re ready. You, thankfully, always are, even and especially when he’s not.

    Summary

    Sae tasted your honeyed whisper of his name on his tongue, felt your tears stain his throat.

    He held onto you as tightly as he could, afraid that if he opened his eyes, he might find himself back in the ring, the glaring lights forcing your smile from his memory.

    But, the jeers and cheers never came. The bell never rang.

    It was the sweetest fight he had ever lost.

    TLDR: In the pivotal moments leading up to the most significant fight of his career against his estranged younger brother, Sae meets a girl who turns his entire world upside down.

    Summary

    If Emi keeps joking about Shouta taking her home, one of these nights he's going to take her up on that offer. Turns out, it's not a joke at all, not one bit. (Sequel to "he hadn't the time".)

    Summary

    Over the ten years that Shota has known Emi Fukukado, she has been far too loud, bubbly, bright, and positive for his taste. She's probably one of the most annoying people he knows. She is also an extremely capable hero and an excellent teacher. There has to be a reason that their paths keep meeting and it has to be more than just to drive him crazy.

    Summary

    “This is Tokyo City Hospital. We are calling about a certain Emi Fukukado”

    Aizawa was sitting straight up in his bed now, clutching the phone to his ear. Emi Fukukado, he hadn’t heard that name in a while.

    “What about her?” He cut to the chase

    “She has been admitted in critical care. You were listed as her emergency contact and we would like for you to come to the hospital straight away.”
