    Pain is ecstasy, bleeding feels like worship. 'Hikaru' doesn't understand why humans break so easily, he just knows Yoshiki will like it.

    Summary

    The problem, Hikaru decides, is that Yoshiki is kind of a wimp. Yoshiki's gotten away with it for all these years because he's always been taller than the rest of them; no one's picking him out as an easy target at first glance. But if you know how to sniff these things out - and Hikaru does - Yoshiki's got that unmistakable wounded-animal quality to him, like a deer limping just a bit as it moves through the herd. The sort of guy you can't help but want to push around a little, just to see how far he'll let you take it.

    Hikaru doesn't like that other people might be starting to see it, too.

    Summary

    Kento has worked hard to forge an authentic life for himself in Tokyo, and as he falls head over heels for country boy Yoshiki it feels like the next step towards a happiness he never dared imagine for himself.

    When Yoshiki tells him about his tragically dead first love, Hikaru, Kento must find the strength to help him heal and move forward. But as the truth unfolds, and he sees the scars 'Hikaru' left in Yoshiki's life, Kento begins to doubt if he and his affection will be enough.

    After all, how can he hope to help someone who once loved a monster?

    Chapter 3
    That tension in his spine only ratcheted tighter and he felt his jaw clench involuntarily. He took a deep steadying breath. "You know, when you brought me here I really thought you wanted me to understand you better, but all I've gotten is myths and obfuscation and stories meant to scare little kids out of the forest. So if you could just—"

    Yoshiki leapt to his feet, aghast. "I am trying to let you in! It's not a fucking metaphor, Kento."

    Summary

    “Hey, Indou!” someone from midfield shouted, laughing between breaths. “Careful—Tsujinaka’s takin’ pictures of ya like he’s in love or somethin’!”

    “Shut up,” Hikaru snapped, voice sharp. “Yoshiki ain’t gay.”

    “Damn bro, calm down,” someone muttered. “Didn’t know you were his bodyguard.”

    “Maybe he’s got you whipped,” another chimed. They erupted in laughter again.

    Hikaru kicked the ball hard. Too hard. It smacked into the fence with a metallic clang that made a few heads jerk up.

    “Knock that shit off,” Hikaru barked, shoving past a teammate. “I said he ain’t gay. Don’t fucking talk about him like that.”

    One wrong reaction shatters everything between them, leaving Hikaru wrestling with a fear he can’t name and Yoshiki trying to pretend he doesn't exist. What follows is a slow, aching unravel: avoidance, regret, the steady realization that losing Yoshiki hurts more than anything Hikaru was trying to protect himself from.

    A short, four-chapter "what if" story about bad timing, teenage feelings, and the clumsy way boys learn what it means to be truly honest with each other and themselves.
