Happy Birthday Akechi Goro!
I offer you a story of domestic fluff with your boyfriend. That’s it. Just a small concentrated dose of fluff, romance and hockey.
Enjoy!(No worries, you don’t have to know anything about hockey to enjoy this. Ren doesn’t either. He just knows how to be a dedicated boyfriend.)

Summary
Companionship and jealousy went hand in hand for the young detective Akechi Goro and the rebellious thief Amamiya Ren. However, those feelings had far longer to fester than one simple year. Envy leaked from the corners of their hearts, even as inarguable best friends in their childhoods. Be it homework or playing, saving one another from scrapes or loneliness, even spending a night wandering a festival side by side, the taste was always faintly bittersweet. Through the memories stored within precious photographs, the now 28 year old Ren knows that no amount of resentment could ever outweigh the deeply rooted love between them, just like it never had two decades prior. They always had and always would be two halves of one beautiful whole.

Summary
The person nestled in his little alcove, washing up in relative silence save for the occasional hum. There's not even a hint of fog in the air, 'cause for some reason, he prefers cool (or even ice-fucking-cold) showers. 'Helps him keep time' or something. Ren has other theories, though.
That person is his rival, his roommate, his boyfriend, his soulmate in more ways than one- Goro Akechi. Many, many words can be used to describe him, depending on who you ask.
Goro would (and has) call[ed] himself 'quick and efficient' in the shower, among far less charitable names.
Ren would call him 'a fun target to mess with', among a sea of sentiment.

Summary
Jazz Jin, his favorite haunt, a speakeasy type bar where the glasses are covered in sweaty condensation and the lights are dim enough to hide the grime that the patrons left that night.
There, leaning over the bar-top to speak to Muhen, is a dame in clothes the color of ink and smoke, with red, red gloves. Black hair, long and windswept, tumbles over her shoulders. What Akechi could see of her face is pale and delicate. Her legs were long as she rises up on her toes to get closer to the bartender.
Oh, she's a perfect match.
