    Summary

    "...Wait a minute."

    Rindo narrows his eyes. "What."

    He doesn't get an immediate answer, only a widening smirk that splits Fret's face nearly in half. His eyes have taken on a mischievous glint that Rindo is all too familiar with.

    He knows that look. It's never good.

    "No. Don't even start."

    His warning falls on deaf ears as Fret ignores him, barreling on ahead anyway and leaning back into Rindo's space.

    "Rindude..."

    "Fret."

    "Don't tell me... Are you... jealous?"

    Summary

    "What? Got nothing to say?"

    Dark Pit growls, and his wings flap indignantly at her.

    "Shut up," he seethes, even as Phosphora's steady voltage makes him want to squirm and huddle up close to her at the same time. He hates how comforting her touch is even though he's on the verge of jumping seven feet in the air. It would be so easy to melt and let her burn her fingerprints into his skin, but he takes a shaky breath in through his nose and holds his ground. He can't let her win this.

    Summary

    “I… Yes,” she finally admits. “I do.”

    “What are you so afraid of?”

    Except he doesn't say that. But with the way he looks at her, he doesn't have to. She knows what he means.

    Summary

    Growing around grief: the theory that painful feelings remain present long after the event of a loss, but through new experiences, meeting others, and the pursuit of new activities, enjoyment can be achieved.

    -

    Even after the Game, it seems Fret still has room to grow. Having Rindo by his side makes it easier.

    Summary

    He... He wants to know who she is. Who she really is, not just information on a file. But he can't just ask, not without sounding completely insensitive, especially when he's all too aware that it would take barely a second for her and her vicious legions to demolish his sorry little drone. And, considering he kinda, y'know, needs that, he wraps up every single inquisitive thought and packs them away into a far corner of his mind. If Azure wants to open up, she will. But Hal isn't going to push her. Despite how little time they've spent together, it hasn't taken long for him to build a decent amount of respect for her. And, provided the feeling is mutual, he can't risk losing what small shred of dignity he still has in her eyes.

    So he waits. But, again, it might not even matter. Who's to say the two of them will keep running into each other, anyway?

    Summary

    But Alphen... Alphen never once looked at her like she was a menace. Like she was a freak, a monster. Something to be avoided at all costs. Every time he looked at her, he only ever saw her. Not her thorns, this prickly curse that has her in a vice grip—her. Shionne. And she never knew how to feel about it.

    Summary

    Well, it hardly matters. What matters is that MegaMan had always thought his heart only raced for the thrill of combat. But now he can feel the flow of data pulsing in his core even without getting worked up or concentrating particularly hard. It's almost distracting. Annoying, even. But above all, it’s just damn disorienting, because as much as he’s discerned, there is no logical explanation for why his heart would throb at the thought of ProtoMan.

    Summary

    Maybe— Maybe Azure isn't the one that's gotten strong. Maybe Akira is just weak. Weak, feeble, pathetic. Worthless. No wonder she doesn't need him anymore.

    Summary

    Azure sits down on the nearby couch, and takes note of Hal's careful, shaking hands as he approaches her. Was he really that freaked out? Or is it because of what he's now been tasked to do? Perhaps it's a combination of both.

    But wait, this is... The first time he's getting to touch her, she realizes. Outside of the occasional brush of hands, that is. It's only been a couple months since he gave her special permission to see and hang out with him in person, so this is... This must feel like a big step for him. Azure wonders how that must feel.

    "It's alright, Hal," she says before she can think about it. "I don't mind."

    Summary

    It'll make you stronger, he had said. But, really, Azure almost wants to laugh. Because ever since she was forced to turn her back on the one person who had given her a second chance at life, who worked so hard to curate a world where she and Akira could live in peace only to succumb to its greatest threat, Azure has felt nothing but weak.

    Summary

    "I was thinking," Sora begins, and from the way he's sprawled over the edge of his bed, seeing everything upside down, Riku has to wonder if this is going to be a good or bad thing. All the blood rushing to Sora's head surely isn't helping either way. "If you're my dream eater, what does that make me?"

    Summary

    Bearing witness to someone like Fret all but malfunctioning from embarrassment isn't a privilege Rindo is often presented with. But no matter how frequently it happens, he always revels in the sight, because it's usually him who is thrust into the spotlight of humiliation, and to see the tables turned is all but, well. Satisfying. It feels like vengeance. Especially for all the times Fret has seemingly teased him just for the hell of it.

    Summary

    “Damnnn, Rindude. I didn’t say anything about us.” He then ticks his head to the side as if to send hair out of his face, but every last strand has been tucked away into a ponytail. Still, the movement is nevertheless unfairly attractive. “But you’re more than welcome to join me, I know you must be cooking right now.”

    Cooking is definitely the right adjective. Fret’s not even in his personal space, and yet Rindo still draws back instinctively. What is wrong with him? It’s already sweltering, and yet Fret has the audacity to flirt with him. Rindo can already imagine the steam coming off of him with how warm his face is. Yeah, rain from the ceiling would be fantastic right now.

    Summary

    "Maybe… You're afraid to be happy?"

    Fret shoots their head up at the question, eyebrows raised. Neku's expression turns apologetic.

    "Sorry. I’m being presumptuous. Was that not right?"

    Fret supposes that's Neku's shot in the dark since they failed to answer him in time. They shouldn't have waited so long.

    Regardless. They don't like how accurate he is. It's a little scary.

    "Can I tell you something?" they ask, voice small. Neku nods in encouragement.

    "Shoot."

    Summary

    “Uhm,” he flounders, after they’ve talked about it and Fret has calmed down a bit. “Should I… Is it okay if I hug you?”

    Fret just swears under their breath before leaning even further into Rindo. Their breathing is still a bit ragged.

    “Please, just. Be my best friend right now, not the guy I just confessed to hours ago. Just— Hold me, please.”

    Summary

    There isn’t a day that goes by where there aren’t any casualties to grieve over. It’s just a never ending cycle of death, where he’s forced to reap and sow seeds of sorrow. Why would anyone want that? Why would anyone miss it?

    Summary

    “What if I did?” Noah doesn’t seem affected by Mio’s fingers digging into him. “Would that be so bad? Is it that bad if I don’t want to fight anymore? What if I just want to live in peace for once? What if I don’t want to kill you? What if I wanted to kiss you instead?”

    Summary

    After she and Jin ran away, home was wherever they had set up camp. It was everything Lora could fit into a backpack, which wasn’t much, but it kept the two of them alive. For a while, home was simply what Lora could see in front of her, the little things that she could appreciate.

    Summary

    “I don’t care if you’re trying to protect me. Saving my life at the cost of your own isn’t worth it if one of us is going to die anyway. Did you even consider the fact that you could have overheated? That you could have died?”

    Summary

    “…Do you remember what I told you six months ago? It was just after we’d taken down the Fog King.”

    “Oh! Uh…”

    When she looks over, Shulk’s lips are pursed together in deep thought as he tries to recall the memory. After a moment, he chuckles sheepishly and shakes his head.

    “Sorry. My memory’s a bit hazy right now. What was it?”

    Melia can’t help but smile at his forgetfulness. She intertwines their fingers together.

    “It was about engagement. Things were… complicated at the time, so I promised a proper proposal once the reconstruction was over.”
