    Summary

    Felix had argued vehemently, while Ingrid ripped the room apart to find clothing for them to wear and Sylvain listened at the cracked door to the soldiers downstairs informing the unimpressed brothel owner that they were conducting a routine search for spies from the Kingdom and would need access to all customer rooms, that there was no good reason he had to wear the costume and Sylvain got to keep (most of) his own clothes on.

    Sylvain had—heroically, he thinks—refrained from saying either “You’re prettier” or “You’re so much smaller,” both of which are absolutely true and either of which would have earned him at least a minor stabbing.

    Summary

    As they walk around the curve of the shimmering, black lake—walk toward the curved beams of the golden shrine and Kojiro, standing there, patiently waiting for him—Kaoru thinks: he has been ready for this longer than he could possibly have known. He has loved and longed and wished for this person, his entire life.

    It had just taken him longer than anticipated to realize it.

    *

    Kaoru lets Kojiro get away once. Luckily, that’s not the end of their story.

    Summary

    "You know, you can be a pretty hard guy to find," Lance says, and his steps end at Keith's side, overlooking Orla'an canyon.

    "Funny you always say that," Keith remarks, "since you find me, regardless. And," he finally glances at Lance, "…always wearing something weird."

    ---

    Lance comes to Keith when he needs someone to pry him open.

    “Not without me,” Sylvain says quietly. “Don’t go where I can’t follow, Felix.”

    Summary

    Kojiro opens the door and looks around into the quiet street, frowning. It’s empty of life, no person in sight; the few other shops and restaurants located on the same street having long been closed by this time. He does hear some slight rustling, but it’s the small cooing noise that brings his attention downwards to the wicker basket left on the doorstep of Sia la luce. He slowly squats down so that he is closer to the baby occupying the basket.

    “Hey there, sweetheart,” he says, his voice quiet so as not to disturb the little one. He reaches his arm over and grasps a tiny hand between his thumb and forefinger. “Where did you come from?”

    Kojiro smiles gently as he picks up the basket and heads back indoors. He softly closes the door behind him and when he turns back into the restaurant, Kaoru is much closer to him leaning up against a nearby table.

    “What’s—” Kaoru’s eyes widen when he sees the baby. “Uh, where did that come from?”

    Or: fellas, is it gay to raise a baby with your best friend?
