Summary
He always feels a bit like they’re stuck in a race where Jungkook is faster than him. Where he’s miles ahead and unreachable in a way that’s unfathomable. Where Jimin is struggling to keep up and is forever destined to stare at Jungkook’s back, a hand perpetually extended to try and reach for him.
Jimin doesn’t want to surpass Jungkook. He just wants to run alongside him. As an equal, as a friend, as a partner. Is that truly so much to ask for?
Or: Following the end of their Vietnam trip, Jimin stumbles across a video compilation of the rocky relationship he had with Jungkook at the very beginning of their debut years. Slapped with a blast from the past and suddenly drowning in insecurities he thought he'd long suppressed, he decides that slowly pulling away from Jungkook is the only right thing to do.
Jungkook, however—a redeemed man, a pining expert, and someone with an extremely low tolerance for any kind of space between them—has much to say about it.

Summary
Kojiro rolls his eyes and leans back on the bar. “What time do I need to be ready?”
Kaoru purses his lips before taking another sip of wine. “It starts at seven. I’ll pick you up at 6:45 and not a minute later.”
Kojiro fights the urge to roll his eyes again and starts putting the garnishes on Kaoru’s dinner. “You got it, princess. I’ll be the best fake boyfriend you’ve ever had.”
Kaoru tries to hide his smile behind the wine glass. “You’re my only fake boyfriend, idiot.”- Language:

Summary
"Don't you remember being seventeen?"
It’s been years. Years of bickering and pining, of posturing and circling the same conclusion neither of them wanted to draw. Now there’s an injury, an empty skate park, and no more excuses left between them.
Even if it burns slow—where there’s smoke, there must be fire.

Summary
“Haruhi -” Kaoru quickly goes to scold her, but when he glances up at whoever made the poor choice of offending Haruhi, his words catch in his throat.
So do Haruhi’s, if only for a moment; the anger abruptly turns into recognition as she cries out gleefully, “Papa!”
Kaoru can’t even stop Haruhi from running over to the person, her happy, bubbly laughs trailing behind her, because said person is the one she inherited her green hair, deep brown eyes, and infectious smile from.
He - Kojiro, Kaoru realizes with belated shock - immediately drops the trash bag in his hand and crouches down with a big, enthusiastic hug as he hoists her up, his hands under her arms and swinging her a bit in the air. Kaoru wants to call out, to tell him to be careful with her, but he’s so paralyzed by the surprise of seeing him that nothing comes out of his mouth.
--
Kojiro and Kaoru are suddenly thrust back into each other's lives, years after their whirlwind romance that resulted in a child. Now, Kaoru has to struggle with nearly half a decade's worth of guilt and regret.

Summary
“Uh, Kaoru?”
“I mean, he was a great kisser, but then my—“ Kaoru cut himself off as he turned, eyes trained to Kojiro’s neck, to the bruise below his jaw. “You… didn’t have… that yesterday, did you?”
“No.” Kojiro replied carefully, watching Kaoru very closely, watching his eyes fill with unadulterated fear and dread. “No, um—“
“Why didn’t you wake me up?” Kaoru almost squawked, standing and making his way over, pressing a light touch to his neck and causing Kojiro to flush bright red, the boy wincing as he drew his hand back.
“I thought you were awake.”
“Kojiro!”
