    Summary

    It was important that Gai think it was all his own idea. It would just be too embarrassing if Kakashi had to admit to wanting that kind of thing in front of Gai. 
    In retrospect, he hadn’t fully thought this whole approach through. 

    Kakashi gets a little too ambitious and pays the price. But it's alright, he doesn't mind the consequences all too much.

    Summary

    "You didn't– you don't like me!" Gai managed.

    Kakashi frowned. "I like you, Gai. Have I really never told you that?" A depressing thought occurred to him. "Oh. Am I dead? Is that it?"

    --

    The thing about it is that, while some people grow into themselves, Kakashi is the sort of person who grew out of himself. He wasn't ever very good at being a child. Gai hadn't noticed it when he was a child himself, but now that he's got a teenage version of his rival on hand to compare with, he's starting to come to some belated realizations. It shouldn't be surprising; who really gets to be a child in a ninja village? But Kakashi was definitely worse at it than most.

    He'd feel sympathetic, except for how the cocky little bastard keeps inexplicably hitting on him.

    Summary

    "The apartment." Kakashi gestured at it. "I don't want to stay here."

    "But you love your apartment!" Gai darted forward, snatching up a paperback from where it had been discarded on the floor. "You love lying in bed and reading terrible novels and ignoring me when I knock on the door! This is your favorite place in all of Konoha!"

    "It feels like the cell," said Kakashi. His gaze dropped to the floor and he scuffed his bare foot against the wood. "Can I go back to the hospital?"

    Summary

    "What if I help you?" Grace blurts out desperately, sweating even in the coolness of his house as his words finally manage to stop Adrian from storming out.

    "What?" Adrian says after a tense moment.

    "I can prove it to everyone," Grace says, his heart in his throat. "I'll - I'll make you and Rocky the most celebrated couple on Erid. I promise."

    "Stupid human," Adrian hisses. "You would give up your chance for him just like that?"

    "Yes," Grace says hoarsely.

    "Anything for him."

    ***

    Adrian does not like Grace.

    Which sucks, really, since Grace loves Adrian's husband and all.

    Summary

    I still think in Earth units sometimes, translating for the human that isn’t even here. Maybe it is subconscious, because if Grace were here, he would know how to figure out what happened.  

    Like how Taumoeba infected my ship.
