    Summary

    Megumi’s face pressed against the pillow, and he didn’t even try to move. He felt hollow. Like everything had been scraped out from the inside, but the shell of him still had to stand up and pretend like he was a person. He wanted to be angry. He wanted to hate him. For leaving. For not letting him stay. For shutting the door and making him feel like a child. For making him feel discarded.

    But he couldn’t hate him. He loved him. Still. He didn’t know how to stop. Five months wasn’t forever, but it was every single day of his summer. It was falling asleep with someone’s hand in his hair. It was fingers on his neck, and mouths pressed to his jaw, and whispered praise that felt like sunlight. It was feeling, finally, like he was someone worth wanting.

    -

    Megumi’s got a band, an ex-boyfriend, and a carefully built world that he swears is just fine the way it is.
    Until everything starts to fall apart
    Yuji never expected to care this much. Not about a boy like Megumi. Not like this.

    (or: megumi is in a band and gets partnered with yuji, one of the most popular guys in school, for creative writing. their friendship goes a little beyond working on their assignments)

    Summary

    "Please tell me you remember what you brought home last night."

    Isagi blinks at the ceiling. "A kebab?" he guesses, voice hoarse.

    "Try again." Hiori says, a little louder now. "Something... wetter."

    "...A drink?"

    There’s a pause.

    Then, Hiori: "You brought a mermaid."

    Silence.

    Isagi lowers the pillow. "...What?"

    "The bathroom." Hiori says flatly. "There’s a tail. A sparkly tail. And it’s moving."

    Or

    Isagi has to deal with the aftermath of his drunk self’s choices — starting with the mermaid in his bathroom.

    Summary

    Fresh out of school and on summer break leading up to his last year of high school, Itoshi Rin is set to spend these next three and a half months of his break shutting out the entire world, and doing what he does best: oil painting.
    But Sae, one last time, gives a shake of his head. “You’re going to the Isagi household.”
    "I'm going to what?"

    Out go his initial plans to oil paint all summer and with Sae's force, Rin happens to take up a gardening job at the friendly Isagi household. The son, however, is a total mystery. As long as Rin does his job and doesn't get close with him, then it should be fine, right?

    He never expected that upon meeting Isagi, feelings begin to swell up like a festering, raw wound. Unfortunately, whether Rin likes it or not, things start to happen between them.

    Summary

    Everyone is wondering where world-class striker Isagi Yoichi has disappeared to after a legendary season and World Cup win… and if it has something to do with a certain leaked email thread with an ex-lover outing him as gay.

    The truth? He’s snuck off to the middle of nowhere, Japan, far away from the prying eyes of the public.

    In the midst of a smear campaign launched at the height of his career, Isagi Yoichi vanishes from the limelight and takes refuge in a small, coastal town cradled deep in the Valley where nobody knows him. Here, he meets Itoshi Rin, the moody recluse in the mountains with his own set of emotional baggage—and despite Rin’s obvious aversion to having anything to do with him, they somehow can’t stay away from each other.

    or: Yoichi is the new farmer in town and Rin is the asshole biker who's hell-bent on antagonizing him.
