    Summary

    It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune—wait, no, wrong AU.

     

    It is a truth universally acknowledged, that Kunikida Doppo, member of the Armed Detective Agency, is an exceptionally uptight young man.

    There we go.

    Now, it is not to say Kunikida is a bad person. Far from it; in fact, he may be one of the sole members within ADA in possession of good morals. Nonetheless, Kunikida is uptight, and therefore often a bit of a wet blanket.

     

    In Greek tragedy, an example of hubris is when Icarus ignored his father’s warning against flying too close to the sun, only to drown after his wings got melted due to the heat.

    In ADA, an example of hubris is when the members of ADA successfully convinced Kunikida Doppo to ‘let loose a little’.

    Summary

    He watches Rude’s face, takes notice of how his eyes soften up just a little when Rude stares at him—not enough for someone to notice—but definitely enough for Reno to notice.

    Summary

    “Why are you looking at me like that?” He whispered.

    “I’m not looking at you like anything,” Kuroo replied, because Tsukishima was only fifteen, and he was already the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen in his entire life. But he was only fifteen, and there was still so much he didn’t know about love and lust and life, and Kuroo wouldn’t spoil this for him.

     

    Or, the five times Kuroo let Tsukishima walk away (and the one time he didn’t).

    Summary

    Hand still on his chin, Jakurai taps a finger against his lips. “When was the last time you had a sexual relationship, Doppo-kun?”

    “About two years ago,” Doppo breathes out, “in Yokohama.”

    ---

    After Jakurai tells him he's pent up, Doppo can't help but recall the last person to give him relief.

    Three weeks later, he sees Iruma Juto for the first time in two years.

    As it turns out, old habits— like apologizing for anything and everything— die hard. But some— like fucking Juto— don’t need to.
