Summary
Besides, this feeling with Laurent— this desperate, hot tension bubbling up inside him, the graceless desire to simultaneously crash their bodies into each other and kiss him softly on the mouth— this is entirely new. Makoto thought he knew what it felt like to be attracted to someone. He’s gotten butterflies in his stomach when looking at pretty girls, he’s had crushes, he’s been kissed a little, he’s slept with maybe 0.5 people total if you count generously. But this thing with Laurent— it’s a goddamn sickness. Makoto wants this man to wreck him.
Or: the fake married blackmail/heist AU no one asked for! Makoto and Laurent go undercover as husbands at a ritzy couples resort to track down a mark. Laurent flirts a lot, Makoto has a relatively painless gay panic all things considered, they both think the other person's faking it, and there's a truly gratuitous amount of sexual tension all around.

Summary
Laurent may have figured out he was in love a little earlier, but the process wasn’t easy. It went a little something like this.
(Or: a character study through cases, only it's never really about the cases at all. )
This is a companion piece to Like the Waters I Cannot Drink through the eyes of Laurent, unpacking some moments leading up to the events in that story that went over Makoto’s head. Please read that one first, it sets up the cases revisited here! This is a slightly darker/more intense take on the mutual pining— putting the burn in slow burn— and not as much of a romcom as the first story, but thanks to that one you already know they figure it out in the end.
