how shin scored a boyfriend he didn't know he had by arkco

Summary
“Okay, so maybe we kissed once or twice—”
“Or twice?” Mafuyu echoes, horrified, like the thought hadn’t even occurred to him before.
“More than that, actually,” Seba says. Smug bastard that he is. Mafuyu whips his head to stare at him, and he shrugs.
“—but that doesn’t mean we’re dating,” Shin finishes. Firm, to illustrate his point. Maybe that’ll make Mafuyu finally understand.
Seba studies him. He has very nice eyes, Shin suddenly realizes, dark and mysterious but mesmerizing all the same. But that’s not what’s important right now. What’s most concerning are his thoughts. What is he talking about?
“Are we not?” he says.
No, Seba and Shin aren't dating. That is, depending on which one of them you ask.

Summary
When Minato wakes up, he’s still on the rooftop—still lying on his side, but his head is resting on the hard bench instead of Aigis’ lap. She may be made of metal, but somehow, she was much more comfortable than this. Her hand stroking his hair, the soothing cadence of her words, all that is gone.
For the first time in what feels like forever, Minato is wide awake.
Minato and Ryoji meet in the afterlife.

Summary
“I understand if you feel a certain resistance to the idea of killing me, but there is no need to allow that feeling to influence your decision," says Ryoji.
That’s not true, Minato wants to say. That feeling is everything. Ryoji is everything to think about, because he is the only other person standing here and now. Ryoji is breathing and Ryoji is alive, at least until the clock strikes midnight.
Minato and Ryoji on New Year's Eve.

Summary
It’s simple—Aoi builds up her walls and Akane barrels straight through them. No matter how many times she pushes him away, he’s always there, hovering. I’m not the person you think I am, she wants to scream. Don’t try to get close, because you won’t like what you’ll find.
[a companion piece to a study in yearning]

Summary
Eito could feel his own lips moving, but for once, words failed him. Nothing came—he couldn’t do anything but stare, his eyes soaking in every detail: a nose and mouth and face that weren’t his own, undistorted by churning flesh and gnashing teeth. He tightened his grip, unwilling to let him go. “Who… who are you?”
The boy just blinked at him, his face a blank slate.
---
When Eito finds a lost android wandering the streets at night, he decides to take it home. Takumi is better than human, anyway.
(Contains spoilers for Route 0 and allusions to Second Scenario.)

Summary
Shin opens his eyes.
He feels as though he had just woken up from a long, satisfying nap, the kind where you’re so well-rested that the wakefulness comes naturally and without effort—but maybe it’s precisely because of a lack of grogginess, that he immediately realizes this isn’t his bed.
(Hiyori says they’re on a business trip. It’s becoming increasingly apparent that this is not the case.)

Summary
"There we go," says Bachira. "See? I wasn’t lying when I said I’m not in love with Isagi anymore. Rin-chan can stop looking so worried now."
Outside the door, metal and wood take turns announcing Isagi’s return.
"Don’t be stupid," Rin mutters. It sounds an ugly kind of childish in his voice, a defense this hollow. "Who the hell is worrying about that?"
Two childhood friends, two brothers, two rescue missions that don’t end as planned — because even pairs gone wrong follow the rule of three.

Summary
“No,” he manages to say, when he sees a wild mess of black hair, too-skinny arms, an orange skirt, and a wildly confused expression, and recognition hits him like a stone over the head. “No — fucking hell, god, no—”
Narancia Ghirga whips around, windswept as all fuck, and his eyes widen. “Abbacchio!” he cries out, racing towards him with no hesitation.
Choking on his words and his fresh shock for too long, Abbacchio only manages to get out, “Nara—” before the spindly teen crashes into him, wrapping wiry limbs around his torso and squeezing the breath out of him. Well, metaphorically. They’re dead, aren’t they? That’s the whole point.
Beyond the grave, the dead of Buccellati's gang reunite.
