    Summary

    "But even amid the haze of relaxation and warmth, one thought comes through with uncomfortable clarity.  How much longer is Eiji going to keep this up?  How much longer will he treat Ash with affection and kindness before his patience finally runs out and his touch turns cruel and demanding?  Ash knows violence, so intimately that he can rarely be bothered to mourn for his own suffering anymore.  But when it’s Eiji, when he imagines Eiji’s hands as the ones bruising him, something deep within him cries out in protest.  It’s only a matter of time before the inevitable--Ash knows this--but he wishes it weren’t.  He wishes he could live in this bliss, this gentleness, forever.  He wishes that, just this once, there could be a different ending to this story.

    But there never is.  Ash would stake his life on it."

    Ash knows touch well. Too well. But then he meets Eiji, and suddenly something about it is different than before.

    Summary

    “So,” Eiji says, once they’ve settled on the bench.  “What is it that you needed to talk about?”

    Ash knows how to take a punch.  In a fight, it’s just inevitable--you’re going to get hit, and you have to learn how to withstand it if you’ve got even half a chance of staying on your feet.  It was drilled into him, mercilessly--what to do when his head is spinning from a sharp blow to the jaw and lights are popping up bright before his eyes.  And so looking into Eiji’s hopeful, expectant face, Ash does as he’s been taught.  Swallows down hard against the nausea, breathes out as fully as he can to take the edge off, and harshly commands himself not to lose consciousness.  Just like in a fight, it’s the only way he’s got a shot at getting through this in one piece.

    “I’m not staying.”

    Believing he brings Eiji nothing but pain and suffering, Ash goes to Japan to try to end things between them. Eiji has several things to say on the matter.

    Summary

    “They tortured you,” Eiji says, his voice hardly above a whisper.

    “Eiji, I mean it--it looks about a million times worse than it really is.  I bruise like a peach.  Always have.”

    Eiji’s expression changes slightly, from pain to puzzled curiosity.

    “You bruise like a peach?” he repeats, as if trying the phrase on for size.  “I’ve never heard that expression before.”

    Ash’s shoulders relax without him meaning to.  It’s much easier to discuss silly idioms than it is to watch Eiji worry himself on account of Ash.

    “Yeah, you know, because peaches are so soft that they bruise easy.  It’s just an English saying.”

    Eiji smiles.

    “It makes sense,” he says, nodding.  “And I like it.  It fits, for you to be a peach.  You’re both so sweet.”

    Ash can’t help it--he barks out a sharp, startled laugh.

    “I’m a lot of things, Eiji.  Sweet isn’t one of them.”

    In which wounds are treated, in more ways than one.

    Summary

    “Reo. When I get to have you like this, I feel like a lunatic.” 

    Suddenly at a loss of words— both from disbelief and pure exhaustion— Nagi swiftly regains the part of himself that had been keeping everything together.

    Reo’s eyes are lidded with an intensity that has him in a chokehold.

    “You’re saying I rode you to insanity?”

    Or: Ever since Nagi and Reo officially got together, Nagi’s been experiencing certain urges. Surprise, they’re all about Reo.

    Summary

    “It’s just dancing,” Ash whispers, knowing that nothing he does with Eiji could ever be ‘just’ anything. “You’ll be a pro in no time.”

    or

    Ash teaches Eiji how to dance. Eiji teaches Ash how to hope.

    Summary

    “Yeah, I want you to teach me how to give a blowjob. As in, teach me how to give you a blowjob. I’m the one sucking you off, not the other way around. I want to make you feel good.”

    Ash stares at Eiji, dumbfounded, and wonders, not for the first time, how he got so lucky.

    Years later, Ash finds himself living in a tiny apartment with Eiji.

    "You really have a way with words, Ash."

    "Yeah?" The corner of Ash's mouth lifts into a smirk as he brings their faces closer.

    "Though, I think you should stop talking and start teaching me how to k--"

    Eiji has kissed exactly One (1) person in his life. Ash happens to volunteer to help him improve.

    Summary

    Eiji moved through his stretches with the kind of grace that seemed impossible for someone so unassuming. His tank top was damp, clinging to his skin in a way that outlined the slender muscles of his back, the curve of his shoulders.

    Sweat darkened the fabric, made it almost translucent where it stuck, and Ash hated himself for noticing. Hated himself more for the way his gaze caught on the strip of skin where the hem had ridden up, revealing the smooth, unblemished curve of Eiji’s lower back.

    And those shorts—God, those stupid, too-small shorts.

    Summary

    Eiji’s lashes fluttered, his head tilting slightly as he let out a quiet, breathless murmur in his native language. The words tumbled out softly, so quiet Ash almost didn’t catch them. He couldn’t understand what they meant, not exactly, but the tone—gentle, reverent, full of something that felt achingly real—made Ash’s pulse stutter.

    Summary

    Ash comes home late, bruised and battered… again. It’s a routine that’s become all too familiar: Eiji tending to his Alpha’s wounds, trying to push aside the growing worry about how much longer they can live like this. Deep down, they both know this can’t be their forever.
    Eiji’s Omega instincts have been kicking in, stirring desires he never thought he’d have. Ash notices and he cares. He wants Eiji to have everything he needs to be happy.
    It’s time for a conversation.
    Should they start a family? Could Ash ever leave the dangerous life behind?
    They don’t have to decide everything tonight, but their future can’t wait forever.

    "Sorry," Ash mumbled. He was starting to feel a little stupid again for his little outburst. "Sorry I told you all that..." He gestured vaguely. "All that shit."

    "It's okay," Eiji replied, "I'm happy you told me. But... I didn't know you feel that way, Ash. I knew that you pretend it's okay sometimes. But..." He frowned. "I didn't know you blame yourself this much. For what happened."

    Blame himself? Did Ash really do that? He didn't really think he did. But...

    Ash had it coming.

    Summary

    There’s only one bed.

    Sure, the JFU wants to be cheap, but surely, it couldn’t be this bad.

    Except it was, and Reo was stuck in a hotel room with the newly re-appointed Nagi Seishirou, after their game with Germany.

    Or, Reo and Nagi share a room (and bed) together after Nagi wins Side-B, helps them against Germany, and is back on the starting world lineup.

    Three times Nagi asks for a space in Reo’s bed. Three times Reo can’t say no.

    (The thundering hurt between them chokes the air from his lungs. Shadows amidst snowstorms twist promises into hatred. Even so, Reo can’t say no.)

    “Your shower is so small, treasure.” One of the midfielder’s hands goes up to hold Nagi’s shoulder. It tenses at the sudden touch, Reo spares it no mind.

    “Don’t you want to take mine instead?” He lids his eyes, flashing a smile. “Join me?”

    “Wouldn’t that be a hassle?” Nagi asks with bored eyes. “We’d have to take turns showering..”

    Oh, god no. Not again.

    Or; Reo plans on making Nagi realise he’s the best suitable mate for him to start courting, even if it takes weeks of hints towards it, hints Nagi can’t seem to catch.

    Summary

    Hayden’s about to fist a hand in Marleau’s jersey and make a truly heroic attempt at rocking the much larger man’s shit (because no matter how legal the check might’ve been, that’s Hayden’s boy) when there’s the thunk of a second body hitting the ice.

    The fight Hayden meant to start stops cold, because Rozanov goes down like a bag of bricks out of absolutely nowhere.


    or: in a world where soulmates share injuries, when Marleau rams into Shane, Ilya goes down too. He and Hayden try to handle the situation as best as they can.
