    Summary

    They were all playing cards except joe and cherry because they wanted to stay in their room. Probably because they were tired

    a faint noise caught their attention. At first, it was just a muffled sound—distant, almost unnoticeable over the hum of the air conditioning. But as they got closer, the unmistakable rhythm of moaning, it sounded exactly like joe...

    They froze.

    The noises grew louder, more intense. A deep groan followed, then a breathy gasp, and suddenly the realization hit all at once.

    “No fucking way” Reki says shocked

    “ARE THEY LITERALLY FUCKING EACH OTHER IN A DAMN RESORT?!” Shadow yells repellently

    The moaning gets louder and louder.

    Miya visibly recoils, face twisted in absolute horror. “I did NOT come on this trip to be traumatized,” he hisses, clutching his head like he’s trying to physically erase the memory forming in his brain.

    Langa looks like he wants to disappear into the floor. “Maybe... maybe it’s not what we think?” he offers weakly, though even he doesn’t believe it.

    Reki turns to him, eyes wide. “Langa. That is 100% Joe. I’d recognize that dumbass anywhere.”

    Miya’s face is twisted in absolute disgust. “Oh, HELL no.”

    Summary

    Hearing Kojiro have a wet dream Kaoru could deal with (would probably return to the memory of on countless lonely nights from then on), but he had no idea what to do with Kojiro dreaming about HIM.

    The gang goes on road trip to watch Miya in a skating competition. Sharing a hotel room with Kojiro, Kaoru hadn't yet managed to fall asleep before Kojiro is deep in dreamland. Dreaming about something that has him moaning Kaoru's name.

    Primarily MatchaBlossom with little mentions of Renga and ShadOka <3

    Summary

    Kaoru smiles politely. “It’s nice to meet you, Lucia.” His smile tightens. “You mentioned something about a boyfriend?”

    “Yeah!” Lucia confirms with an energetic nod. “You’re Kojiro’s boyfriend, aren’t you?”

    Kojiro wants to die.

    “No,” he blurts out when he sees Kaoru’s expressions stiffen in shock. “Lucia, no, we’re just friends. Very close friends,” he stresses.

    Lucia gives him a strange look. “Really? Oh… sorry about the room, then,” she admits with an easy shrug, and Kojiro’s eyes widen. “We kind of all thought you were dating. Marcel was in charge of the room assignments. You can blame him!” She pats a shell-shocked Kojiro on the arm. “I’ll see you at the reception, huh? I’m going to say hello to the lucky bride.”

    “Bye,” is Kojiro’s belated greeting, and he turns to Kaoru, terrified to see his expression, but Kaoru’s face is completely blank.

    “Hm.” Kojiro swallows. “What exactly have you been telling your culinary school friends that all of them think we’re dating, Kojiro?”

    Summary

    “You said I should be in an actual committed relationship, right?” Kojiro blinks at Kaoru with faux innocence. “What do you say, Kaoru? Want to be in a fake committed relationship with me?”

    “Are you out of your mind,” Kaoru repeats, albeit weaker. “I meant you should—pick one of them to date for real.” He juts his head in the direction of the nearby group of girls. “Not—” His voice falters. “Not date me as a charade.”

    Kojiro’s eyebrows raise. “It wouldn’t be convincing enough with one of them,” he admits, and Kaoru’s eyes widen. “With you, I…” This time, it’s Kojiro’s voice that falters. He clears his throat. “I know you, already. It’d be more convincing if I was just faking it with you.”

    Kaoru’s eyebrow twitches. Unfortunately, he can’t find much fault in Kojiro’s argument. He knows, though, if he were to say no, Kojiro wouldn’t push the issue any further.

    But it would be so easy, Kaoru thinks, to just…

    Summary

    “You’re gay?”

    Kojiro’s own mouth had fallen open. “Um,” he had said eloquently. “What?”

    Kaoru’s eyes had darted between the half-eaten pastry in his hand and Kojiro’s face. “This… you made this, right?” Kojiro had nodded slowly. “And when you made it,” Kaoru had continued carefully, squinting at the pastry as if he could read its secrets, and, Kojiro had realized at that very moment, maybe he could read its secrets, which meant—

    Kaoru’s eyes had flickered up to Kojiro. Kojiro’s breath had stuttered.

    “You were in love.” Kaoru blinks languidly. “When you made this, you thought ‘I hope I can love him forever. I hope I can cook for him forever.’”

    Oh god, Kojiro had thought, frozen under Kaoru’s stare, he knows I’m in love with him—

    Kaoru had broken his stare, pulling his eyes away from Kojiro’s. “So you’re in love with some guy? Who is it?”

    Summary

    ''Kaoru had lost count of how many days he had come to the skatepark to watch the same boy the last months, pining hopelessly after him. He only knew his name was Kojiro and he went to a different highschool than him. And that he came all afternoons at the same skatepark Kaoru had frequented since he was a kid.
    He wished that boy could be his soulmate.''

    Summary

    "How long have you and Cherry been together?" Langa blurts out. Joe’s eyes widen at the question before pursing his lips in contemplation.

    “I haven’t kept track in a while,” Joe admits after a pause, and Langa frowns. Wasn’t this the sort of thing people usually kept track of? “But at least 20 years,” he continues easily, even when Langa’s mouth drops open. “Since kindergarten, I know.”

    Langa stares at him, shellshocked. “You’ve been dating Cherry since you were five years old?”

    Joe’s eyebrows furrow. “What?” His eyes widen. “Oh, you meant. Together together.” He laughs awkwardly. “Langa, we’re not actually—Kaoru and I aren’t dating.”

    Langa stares at him some more, somehow even more shellshocked at this new piece of information. “What?”

    Summary

    “Why don’t you fight with me anymore?” Kaoru blurts out. Kojiro startles at the sudden question. It’s after a long pause that he answers, and Kaoru can see in the furrow in his brows that he’s thinking carefully about the words that come out of his mouth.

    “Do you… want me to? Fight with you?”

    “Yes. No. I don’t know.” Kaoru exhales in frustration. “Just…” Kaoru trails off.

    “Kaoru?” Kojiro prods when Kaoru remains silent. “Is everything oka—”

    “Why don’t you fight with me anymore?” Kaoru repeats. “Have I gotten too boring for you, too, now?”

    Summary

    "Under the dimmed red lights he looks way too tempting, a creature born from sin, made to lure Kaoru in and drag him down to sinful places with him. And Kaoru is more than happy to let him – all it takes is for Joe to bunch a fistful of his kimono in his hand and push slightly, until Kaoru slides down the bed and splays out prettily for him, for Kaoru to know he will come out of this bedroom a completely changed person."

    After using a dating app to find a big boy that can keep him warm during cuffing season, Kaoru meets Joe in a love hotel and gets gloriously railed into oblivion.

    Summary

    ''Kojiro loved Kaoru, he really did. But after some hours working on his first work ever, he was starting to rethink if he really loved him that much.
    “Kojiro, someone is asking for you at the counter.” His manager said with a knowing smile. And Kojiro knew who this someone was.
    He had been at the coffee shop for just a couple of hours and Kaoru couldn't wait to see him until his shift was over, no, of course not, he needed to come and annoy Kojiro in the middle of the shift.''

    Summary

    “You’re in a strange mood today,” Kojiro notes as he carefully slides the remaining lasagna out of the plate and into the box. “Anything wrong?”

    Kaoru doesn’t answer. Instead, he says abruptly, “Have you heard of the new restaurant that opened down the street?”

    Kojiro’s hands still. “What?”

    “La Reir. Have you heard about it?”

    Kojiro turns his head slightly. “No,” he says carefully. “What is it, French?”

    “Italian, actually.”

    Kojiro turns completely to face Kaoru. “Italian?”

    or, Kojiro is absolutely, positively, 100% not jealous of the new Italian restaurant Kaoru seems to favor (except for the part where he kind of is)

    Summary

    ''He went to get a drink first, then he sat in one of the sofas to see if someone in the crowd caught his attention. And indeed someone did. For a moment the world seemed to stop and the music lowered in his ears. On the dance floor was the most beautiful man he'd ever seen. And he was looking right at Kojiro with such intensity that he didn't know if all the warmth he was feeling on his body was for the alcohol or for the man's gaze on him.''

    Summary

    Kaoru wasn’t stupid. He knew Kojiro was a good chef, of course he did. It wasn’t just anyone who could open a thriving Italian restaurant in Okinawa, and certainly not Kaoru—no, he’d probably burn the place down the second he turned the stove on.

    But still. Still.

    How the fuck can Kojiro make coffee taste so good?

    “Well?” Kojiro presses. “How is it?”

    Kaoru doesn’t deign to answer, instead taking another sip from the cup. The flavor sinks through him, his shoulders automatically relaxing, any lingering stress seeping away from his bones, and his eyes slip closed.

    God, I could marry him, Kaoru thinks.

    Then, he thinks, what the FUCK.

    Summary

    ''At first Kaoru thought that being apart from Kojiro would be hard. Of course it would be, they've been side by side since they were kids and didn't spend more than a few days apart from each other back then.
    But now that he thought about it, even that few days were like hell for him.
    How did he expect that nearly four months apart from him would be easier?''

    Summary

    "He's done enough walks of shame this month alone to win the fucking marathon. And it still did not change a damn thing. He never thought it’d be this hard to find someone that both treats him like a princess, worships him like a goddess, and fucks him like a slut, and yet here he is."

    It’s cuffing season and Kaoru is bored and lonely, so he uses a dating app to find a big boy that can fill his loneliness and keep him warm during the cold months.
