Summary
Goro Akechi has mastered the art of being looked at—every smile curated, every word rehearsed, every crack carefully concealed. To the world, he is brilliance and justice and beauty under glass.
Ren Amamiya sees the scaffolding instead. He watches too closely, understands too well, and finds himself drawn not just to the performance, but to the desperation beneath it.
As masks fracture and truths surface, their connection curdles into something obsessive, violent, and impossible to ignore. This is not a story about saving each other—it’s about seeing, wanting, and choosing to stay anyway.

Summary
But the problem is that February 2nd does not stay down.
It claws at him from behind. In some sort of panic-sneak attack, it’s there in the clink of dishes, the coffee he makes for himself. It’s in the way the sky darkens and the chill.
feburary 2nd through the years and how fate shapes our choices no matter how subtle.

Summary
"I'm… having trouble sleeping," Akira admitted lowly, kicking at a pebble beneath his shoe. "In general."
He glanced up as the silence hung a moment too long, ready for his dismissal, and saw an internal war taking place behind Akechi's eyes instead.
Finally, "Come with me." and Akechi turned on a heel and marched away.
Akira blinked, caught off guard. Akechi didn't turn to check Akira was doing as tasked, so sure that he would. Akira smiled fondly. Akechi's choice surprised him, but it was far from unwelcome.
He jogged to catch up, settling at Akechi's side. He didn't even think to ask where Akechi was leading him, just… content to be at his side again.

Summary
He never fell asleep around other people. Especially not in a cafe attic that didn't even have a door, let alone a lock, with
the boy he was to killhis rival singing just feet away. People weren't safe. Kurusu wasn't, couldn't be, an exception.Goro's book fell from his hands into his lap. He barely noticed, lashes fluttering shut with the determination to stay that way. He tilted sideways, head far too heavy to hold up a second longer. His descent slowed by pillows until he was flat against the bed, the world fell away.

Summary
“Soooo,” Ryuji began, voice ominously beginning to increase in volume. “Is anyone going to tell me how the hell you two know each other?”
Seeking to prevent any eardrum damages, Akira answered quickly. “Goro and I went to college together.”
“That’s correct,” Goro said, enigmatic smile back on.
Akira waited to see if Goro would continue, but when it seemed no addition was forthcoming, he decided to drop the bomb himself. “In fact," he began carefully, "we used to, ah... date.”
“Wait,” Ryuji said. “WHAT?”
At an old friend's wedding in Venice, Akira Kurusu runs into the last person he expected to see, which would all be well and good– if he could just work out how he felt about it. And if the person in question wasn't his ex-boyfriend.
