Summary
Takumi's phone rings and he jolts up, almost dropping the thermos. He sets it down beside him with a clatter and digs his phone out of his pocket. "Hey?"
"Takumi." Keisuke's voice filters through the speakers, just a touch tinny but still with that unmistakable roughness from cigarette smoke. "I'm out front."
"Keisuke, I'll be out in a sec." Takumi grabs the thermos with one hand and rests his phone against his shoulders. "Dad, I'm going out!"
His dad grumbles something but he already has his phone back against his ear to catch the tail end of Keisuke's laughter. "See ya soon," Keisuke says before ending the call.

Summary
Ryousuke steps further into Nobuhiko's apartament, slipping into the living room. Nobuhiko lays curled up on the couch, a blanket bunched up by his shoulders. Hikari follows Ryousuke in her tank as he walks around the couch. He leans over and fixes Nobuhiko's blankets, a soft smile pulling at his lips.
Seeing Nobuhiko asleep like this, even if it's likely an impromptu nap, makes Ryousuke want to just lay down next to him.
Ryousuke brushes some of Nobuhiko's hair behind his ear, lingering with a hand cupping his cheek.Ryousuke's smile drops from his face.
Nobuhiko's skin is fever-hot and clammy.

Summary
Nobuhiko lays curled up on the bed, the blankets pulled up to his face. All Ryousuke can make out is messy curls against the pillow. Ryousuke sits on the other side of the bed and reaches over to pull the blanket away from Nobuhiko's face. He cups Nobuhiko's cheek, running his thumb along the faint blush staining his skin.
His cheek is warm against Ryousuke's hand.
Nobuhiko opens his eyes into a squint, shifting to meet Ryousuke's gaze. "Ryo?"
Ryousuke brushes some of Nobuhiko's bangs out of his eyes. "You feel like you have a fever, love."

Summary
Kenji shakes his head and holds out another pair of gloves. "You need to stop forgetting these."
"I didn't forget them." Iketani takes the gloves, pulling them on over his aching fingers. Even the thin layer of fabric helps combat some of the chill in the air. Kenji gives him a pointed look and Iketani shoves the knotted lights at his chest. "Here, untangle these."
Kenji grabs them, piling them in his arms to stop them from spilling all over the ground. He gives Iketani a grin. "I just got here and you're already putting me to work."
"I gave you the easy job." Iketani nudges the boxes out of his way with his foot and frees the ladder from its place against the wall.

Summary
Wataru nudges Nobuhiko's side with his elbow, leaning over to peer at his plate. "Not hungry?"
Nobuhiko lifts his coffee mug and shoves the plate over to Wataru. "You can have it."
Wataru looks between the plate and Nobuhiko, a frown pulling at his lips. "Everything okay?"
"Why wouldn't it be?" Nobuhiko takes a sip of his coffee, giving Wataru a tired look. The coffee is bitter and burnt, but the caffeine is well-needed

Summary
"We cause the apocalypse?" Five echoes, twisting the resignation in Booth Five's voice to something darker and more bitter. "We, as in our family or we as in all of us here?"
A flicker of a grin pulls at Booth Five's lips, flat and mirthless. "That is the question."
Five leans forward around the sandwich he was involuntarily given, glancing at the pictures lining the walls briefly. He catches sight of his own desperate face staring back at him at the face of Viktor bringing down the moon on all of them. "You know the answer."
Booth Five shrugs his shoulders, the movement nonchalant and languid. "We've always known."

Summary
Akihiko just holds Shinjiro tighter. Water pools on the floor, cold as it drips down his skin.
Shinjiro sighs. "What were you doin' out? I thought you turned in for the night."
"It was raining," Akihiko says into Shinjiro's shoulder, his voice shaking ever-so-slightly. He hopes that it isn't enough for Shinjiro to pick up on.
"So?" Shinjiro moves whatever is in the pot around. Akihiko can feel his shoulders shift against his chest. "It does that sometimes."
"It's nice to run in." It doesn't feel like a proper explanation for everything. But the words catch in his throat as thunder cuts through the quiet sound of something sizzling in oil.

Summary
Nobuhiko just stares down at him with that look Wataru's come to associate with him trying to solve a difficult problem. "What do you want?" Wataru asks, barely above a whisper.
"You're going racing, right?" Nobuhiko's voice is low, just as aware of their parents in the next room as Wataru is. "Take me with you."

Summary
The moment they turn the corner to the main street, Takumi slows to a stop.
Soft white lights weave in between the branches on the trees, twisted in such a way that they almost look like frost. Crowds of people meander through the streets, looking up at the lights above them.
Takumi’s never been to a Christmas Market like this.
There’s something enchanting about it.

Summary
Acceptance is a weary emotion.
Takumi learned this a long, long time ago. It’s far easier to settle with what he has now than try to reach for what he couldn’t. He’s surviving and that’s all that matters in the end.
But all it takes is a not-so-minor illness to upend everything that Takumi thought he knew.

Summary
diēs astrōrum - day of the stars
“It doesn’t matter because there’s no way for me to figure it out.” Meta Knight wraps the dimensional cape tighter around himself. It doesn’t bring the same comfort that it used to. With Galacta Knight so close to him, some of the faint splattering of stars return to the fabric. “You must be able to understand that.”
Galacta Knight frowns at him with deep confusion. “But you can. It’s not even that hard.” When Meta Knight just sits and stares at him, eyes narrowed and brows knitted beneath his mask, Galacta Knight latches onto his wrist and pulls him towards the window. “C’mon, I’ll show you.”
