    Summary

    Nakamura Okuto never meant to run into Hirose Aiki again on a rainy evening in Tokyo.

    He only heard a familiar voice on the train platform, saw a pale coat and an orange umbrella through the crowd, and found himself taking the same inconvenient route home for several days in a row.

    Years ago, Nakamura had said goodbye without saying nearly enough.

    Years later, Hirose still remembers the quiet boy who loved black coffee, octopuses, and leaving too many things unsaid.

    Summary

    Hi, my name’s Okuto Nakamura, I’m shy, gay, and madly in love with Aiki Hirose!... And I’m also coughing up flower petals.

    I’m so dead.

    TLDR: Nakamura develops the Hanahaki Disease and then the events of Ep. 11 and 12 play out with canon divergence!

    Hey! I’m Aiki Hirose, I’m extroverted, a social butterfly, and… I think my best friend, Okuto Nakamura, is sick.

    I'm not a good friend.

    TLDR: Hirose get's some weird feelings and he doesn't know how to feel about it.

    Summary

    “Hirose,” Nakamura gulped, “why, why did you make this?”

    Hirose paused, fork still in his mouth. His expression softened, his cheeks a little red.

    “Secret.” He mumbled.

    The school's PA system announced something from the Home Economics faculty. They encouraged students to bake and share their baked goods with friends, or even loved ones, though that last part was a tease more than anything.

    Nakamura was determined to give something to Hirose. There was only one problem. Where the heck was Hirose?!

    Summary

    Nakamura didn’t leave a long note. There were no written reproaches, no desperate "I love you" to serve as a consolation. He only left a small white envelope on his desk with Hirose’s name on it, written in that neat, trembling handwriting that was so characteristic of him.
    Inside, there was only a crumpled movie ticket for a film they never got to see, and a single sentence:

    “I’m sorry for taking up so much space.”
