    Summary

    There was something so nostalgic about the scene in front of him. With the golden lamp light shining over him, the sharp slope of his nose, the absolute chaos surrounding him. It reminded Kojiro of high school, of evenings spent in Kaoru’s bedroom while the boy studied for his test the next morning that he hadn’t bothered revising for prior to that night, his bedroom as messy as his desk as Kojiro huddled in the corner of his bed, watching.

    And Kojiro remembered that evening, watching Kaoru hastily memorise a year’s worth of content, and he remembered the words on the tip of his tongue.

    The words he’d been swallowing possibly for years.

    ʚɞ

    Or, Kojiro secretly had a crush on Kaoru in high school, but it's not that much of a secret

    Summary

    "You have a leaf in your hair," Kaoru whispered, leaning over.

    Kojiro rubbed his head. "You still have sand on your face."

    Kaoru rubbed his cheek. "Is there still sand on my tongue?"

    Kojiro squinted at Kaoru’s tongue, then shook his head. He grinned, unable to help himself. "The face you made after eating the dirt was so funny. You looked like a pufferfish!"

    Kaoru’s ears went red, and he gave Kojiro a sharp shove with his shoulder. "At least I wasn't a dummy who ate dirt after I already saw someone else get flowers stuck in their teeth. That's even stupider."

    When Kojiro is five years old, he recruits the shy kid in the sandbox to help him bake the perfect sand cake. It's no wonder that food ends up being a big part of how him and Kaoru take care of each other. After all, people say the way to a man's heart goes through his stomach. It's a good thing Kojiro loves cooking, and Kaoru... tries.

    Kojiro, Kaoru and a history of their friendship told through the meals they make for each other throughout the years.

    Summary

    from Kaoru 9:51 P.M.
    It’s been ten years.
    You forgot, didn’t you?

    Kojiro frowns at his screen. forgot what?, he begins to type, but his fingers still on the screen before he can get the full message out.

    Ten years. Ten years… it rings recognition in Kojiro’s mind, but only very faintly. It’s been ten years since… what? Ten years ago, they were both 17. It couldn’t be anything like a friendship anniversary; they’d known each other far longer than ten years. Then, was it something they’d done at 17?

    Ten years. Kojiro remembers something like a box, something like a—

    from Kaoru 9:53 P.M.
    You definitely forgot.
    You’re definitely going to be late.
    I’m opening it at 10, anyway.
    Better hurry.

    —something like a letter.

    “Oh,” Kojiro says out loud. “Oh, fuck.”

    Ten years ago, at 17—before Adam, before Italy, before—

    “Fuuuuck.”

    Ten years ago, at 17, an optimistic, foolish, idiotic Kojiro had written Kaoru a love letter.

    A love letter that Kaoru was now going to open.

    or, Kojiro tries to stop Kaoru from reading a ten-year-old confession

    Summary

    When Kojiro isn’t busy in the kitchen or serving patrons, his eyes are constantly on Kaoru. Kaoru’s on his A-game, turning on his special sort of magnetism in that way he’s always been able to do since they were kids. He has the most dour of prospective buyers smiling and laughing at his anecdotes, and the most judgemental of critics nodding along with rapt interest as he explains his artistic process.

    Occasionally, Kaoru will catch Kojiro staring from across the room. Before Kojiro can save face, Kaoru will just look him up and down with a smirk before returning his attention to the guests. Kojiro blushes and sputters every time.

    The art show won’t end for another couple hours, and he’s already sporting a half-chub.
