    Summary

    “It’s fine,” Iori huffs, with a persistent pout on his face that has been there for the past two and a half hours that the festival has been running, “except it ain’t exactly fair, is it? I mean, look at some of these girls! This is crazy!”

    Shinjiro agrees. Although he thinks Iori is more jealous than anything else. He’d probably rather be the one in the hot seat… or at least, he thinks he’d rather be the one in the hot seat; realistically, Iori probably just wants the attention of one girl, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but in this moment, they’re angry about the same thing, so Shinjiro holds his tongue. In fact, he’s been holding his tongue for the entire festival. He doesn’t expect anything reasonable to come out if he does open his mouth, and boy has he been tempted a handful of times.

    The story goes like this: Aki did not tell Shinjiro that he was running a kissing booth.

    ---

    Akihiko runs a kissing booth at the autumn festival. The attraction is a hit, much to Shinjiro's chagrin.

    Summary

    Sometimes he wants to give Akihiko things–beyond cooking him dinner–fun little trinkets he picks up at work and wonders if he can take them home. A hoodie he used to own and wonders if he can sneak into Akihiko’s laundry so Akihiko would think it was his own, and wear it. Things like that. Gifts. Sometimes he wants to–to press their necks together in some kind of fucked up scent-bonding thing, that would have absolutely made sense if Akihiko was an omega, or a beta, or something. But he’s not.

    It takes Shinjiro far too long to figure out what everyone else has seemingly known all along: that Akihiko is in love with him. Pity.

    Summary

    When Grantaire bought the cheapest ticket available, he expected to find himself smashed into a narrow seat on one of the very last compartments on the train, probably marinating in some lady's heavy-handed perfume or dealing with a squalling infant in his face for the six-hour trip. But at some point he must have done something that made the universe very, very happy with him, because his compartment is empty but for one other passenger squished into one of the two window seats, and that passenger is a god.

    Summary

    Nobody told Grantaire that being Enjolras' bodyguard would be this hard. Of course, most of his work-related anguish is caused by how much he wants Enjolras, and he's pretty sure that isn't part of his job, so he can't really file a HR complaint, can he?
