how shin scored a boyfriend he didn't know he had by arkco

Summary
“Okay, so maybe we kissed once or twice—”
“Or twice?” Mafuyu echoes, horrified, like the thought hadn’t even occurred to him before.
“More than that, actually,” Seba says. Smug bastard that he is. Mafuyu whips his head to stare at him, and he shrugs.
“—but that doesn’t mean we’re dating,” Shin finishes. Firm, to illustrate his point. Maybe that’ll make Mafuyu finally understand.
Seba studies him. He has very nice eyes, Shin suddenly realizes, dark and mysterious but mesmerizing all the same. But that’s not what’s important right now. What’s most concerning are his thoughts. What is he talking about?
“Are we not?” he says.
No, Seba and Shin aren't dating. That is, depending on which one of them you ask.

Summary
When Minato wakes up, he’s still on the rooftop—still lying on his side, but his head is resting on the hard bench instead of Aigis’ lap. She may be made of metal, but somehow, she was much more comfortable than this. Her hand stroking his hair, the soothing cadence of her words, all that is gone.
For the first time in what feels like forever, Minato is wide awake.
Minato and Ryoji meet in the afterlife.

Summary
“I understand if you feel a certain resistance to the idea of killing me, but there is no need to allow that feeling to influence your decision," says Ryoji.
That’s not true, Minato wants to say. That feeling is everything. Ryoji is everything to think about, because he is the only other person standing here and now. Ryoji is breathing and Ryoji is alive, at least until the clock strikes midnight.
Minato and Ryoji on New Year's Eve.

Summary
It’s simple—Aoi builds up her walls and Akane barrels straight through them. No matter how many times she pushes him away, he’s always there, hovering. I’m not the person you think I am, she wants to scream. Don’t try to get close, because you won’t like what you’ll find.

Summary
There’s always been something subtextual about their relationship, things that don’t need to be said yet are present anyway. A detective and a phantom thief on opposite sides, yet not quite friends all the same.
Five and a half times Akechi and Akira kiss, and one time they don't.

Summary
Akechi smirks and holds out his hand to shake. “What do you say, Joker? Want to team up one last time?” Akira studies it—the glove is identical to the one in his dresser in the top left drawer. Sometimes he takes it out and just... stares at it while the memories flood back.
I’ll let you have this win today, but next time I will be victorious, Akechi had said. Let this be my proof. Make certain that you never forget: I will be the one to defeat you. A promise, a deal, and unfinished business all wrapped together.
“Pleasure doing business with you, Crow,” says Akira, and takes it.
Akira grieves, and then all of the sudden doesn't when Akechi and Sumire show up on his doorstep five months later to ask for his help.

Summary
What starts it all is a message from Yoshizawa—she's sent an article alongside a single sentence.
Yoshizawa: Akechi-san, you might want to see this.

Akechi's heart sinks to the bottom of his stomach.
Their first date is at the movie theater. Somehow, everyone else finds out.

Summary
You hate Akane. You hate everything about him: the way he looks at you as if you're the most beautiful thing he's ever seen; how he shoulders the weight of the sky so no one else has to. As you look him in the eye to seek any sort of hesitation, any hint of a lie, you hate him more than anything else in the world.
(You also love Akane more than anything else in the world, a secret locked far away with the only key being at the bottom of the trash heap where he will soon reside.)
Aoi discovers the truth—both about supernaturals and how Akane really feels.

Summary
You’re not doing this because you care about them, Aki tells himself. They’re fiends through and through. You aren’t allowed to care about them at all.
(The fact that he has to remind himself of this has kept him up late at night more than once, staring at the ceiling and wondering why, why, why.)
Aki learns how to cook.

There are many things Teru wants from Akane: he wants to break him, be with him. He wants to kiss him senseless, pierce his sword straight into his heart and scoop out the supernatural remains. He wants so much, and it's terrifying.

Mitsuba and Kou develop their photos.
