Summary
“This is a bad idea,” Iwaizumi states, and Tooru can’t quite understand why he’s saying it now from all times.
“Yes,” Tooru agrees. “It has been a really bad idea since the very beginning.”
“I can hang, if someone ever finds out.”
“No one will.” Tooru’s not sure if his heart’s working properly anymore. Iwaizumi’s troubled expression isn’t helping with this sudden disease Tooru’s going through. “If you don’t— If this is not what you want,” Tooru manages to whisper, “you can leave. I don’t— This is not an order. I will never ask you…” please, please, want this too.
“I’ve wanted you since the first time you threw me on the ground.”

Summary
“It’s kind of weird,” Dream blurts out, watching the back of George’s head while he messes around with settings on his old PC. “It’s like—it feels like there was a whole other version of George who existed in this room, that I never really got to see. Not from this perspective, anyway.”
“Well,” George laughs fondly, his hand squeezing Dream’s knee as he sits back down on the bed beside him. “The George who existed in this bedroom loved you, so. At least one thing hasn’t changed.”
Dream almost laughs, certain for a moment that George has to be making a joke. “You—no you didn’t.”
or; Dream finds out how long George has loved him. It's not the easiest thing for him to process.

Summary
It’s this voice and these touches that lull them into a false sense of security. Something akin to peace, but not quite that.
It’s the feeling you get when you’re standing with a boy you met when you were 17, and then again at 23, and he never saw you young but he knows how you get when you’re sick, habits that stuck from childhood. The feeling you get when he’s a man now, and so are you, and there’s this sense that you belong to each other infinitely.
Suddenly, this summer, it's clear.

Summary
There are a lot of things that George prides himself on.
He prides himself on being a hard worker when he does work, prides himself on getting A’s all through secondary school and University. He prides himself on managing to keep such a sharp separation between his public and private lives, and rarely having the two bleed into each other more than he allows.
For the most part, it works. He gets a few odd comments from his friends about wishing he would open up more or talk about his feelings, but it’s all easily brushed off comments in passing. It works for George, so it works for everyone else.
Mostly everyone else.
It doesn’t work for Dream.

“I love you so much, you know that?”
It must surprise George because he says nothing in return, just stares at Dream with amusement in his eyes.
“I love being around you, even if it's just like this, you know? All quiet and stuff. It’s nice. Never gets old.”

Summary
Oikawa expects that his time in prison won't be the best two years of his life. What he doesn't expect is an antisocial cellblock, a half-crazed redhead who insists on befriending him, and the wildcard boss of Block Three who builds a grudge against him on day one. Worst of all is the menacing Iwaizumi Hajime, to whom Oikawa becomes an unwilling cellmate. Iwaizumi is coarse, unpleasant, and makes it quite clear that he wants nothing to do with Oikawa.
At first, anyway.
Within the first few months of his stay, Oikawa gets caught up in a war between cellblocks, becomes a prime target, and must decide just how far he's willing to go to protect Iwaizumi Hajime.

Summary
Iwaizumi Hajime was an undercover officer with a single objective: Infiltrate the Seijoh Syndicate of the Yakuza and tear them down from the inside out. His primary target was the boss, Oikawa Tooru. The job itself was simple enough, until Iwaizumi got in too deep and absconded not only from the mission, but from the city itself.
Now, two years later, he’s dragged back into Tokyo’s unsavory underworld. A grisly string of murders is plaguing the city, and the culprits are most definitely Yakuza. The problem is discovering which Syndicate is responsible, and Iwaizumi – the leading expert on Yakuza affairs – is the man most suited for the job.
Despite his determination to stay away from Tokyo – and from Oikawa – Iwaizumi finds himself right back in the middle of Seijoh, and it feels a lot more like home than he’d care to admit.

“Yes, Tommy,” Wilbur replied bitterly. “Dream was completely, utterly in love.”When Dream was reaped for the twenty-third Hunger Games as the male tribute for District 12, he would have never thought that besides the deadly games, he would begin to battle something bigger, something even more dangerous as soon as he stepped into the arena…

Summary
"Sometimes, trust is crucial. Even if it means you might have to let go. Especially if it means letting go."
In the era of rising unrest in the King’s realm of Carnsworth, a young boy sees the light of the day, blissfully unaware of what life has to offer. When his mother is torn out of his life cruelly, he is forced to leave everything he has known behind — calling himself Dream from that day on, the boy sinks deep into a life of thievery and lawbreaking, always fleeing from the Crown.
As the years pass, the King himself sets three elite hunters on his head. Dream’s life turns to an endless cat-and-mouse-game of being on the run from three men he presumes to be as deadly as himself.
But what will happen if unfortunate circumstances force them to work together? All of a sudden, Dream is pulled into a spiral of bitterness, loathing, and some brown eyes that threaten to break right through his mask.So he writes his story. A story of friendship and love, of misery and betrayal, while the kingdom’s surface begins to boil with the threat of a rising revolution.

Summary
“I didn’t get your mattress from Amazon, George, we have essentially the same ones.”
“Yeah, keyword essentially. Yours is literally, like, a hundred times better.”
Dream turns to look at him, propping his chin up on his hand. “Are you sure it’s not just because my bed has me in it?”
George stares at him for a moment, going slightly pink, then scoffs. “You’re an idiot.”
In which George and Sapnap’s rooms are way too close together, and George remedies this fact in the only way he knows how.

Summary
“We’ve been planning it for so long,” Dream says gently. He’s transparent, as he always has been, and more so now that everything he wants is within reach. There’s no use trying to preserve his dignity now. “I wanted you to feel at home.”
For some reason, Dream clenches his jaw after that, waiting for a swift decline that never comes. Instead, George leans into his touch, relaxes his muscles. “I am home. You’re here.”
George is finally in Florida, and Dream wants to memorize every inch of him.

Summary
“You missed me,” George cuts him off and wraps his arms around his neck, pulling Dream into a second hug that’s somehow warmer than the first, even if less forceful.
“I missed you,” Dream affirms, the top of George’s head so close to his lips that he can feel his breathing shifting his hair. “So much, George.”
“I know,” George whispers, and Dream can hear the smile in his voice. And Dream knows that even if he doesn’t say it, the way George’s thumb brushes against his hair at the nape of his neck means I missed you too.
or; George comes home for the summer after his first year away at college, and Dream decides 800 miles of driving are his last chance to convince him to stay.

Summary
George laughed, sincerely. “We can sleep without the blankets if you want.”
“You’d want to?” Then, “sometimes I do that actually. Patches will get up on my bed and even that is too warm and crowded for me.”
George formed a frown on his face. “I don’t want to crowd you.”
Another pause. George could tell that Dream’s hand had covered his mouth.
Then, very fondly, Dream whispered, “you won’t. I promise you that you won’t.”
Somehow, close was not close enough.

Summary
“I wrote you a song,” Oikawa remembers Iwaizumi telling him, not once, not twice, but far too many to count over the years that has their shadows and laughter and tears lurking within.
em>He wrote you so many songs, and all you wrote him was a letter. Now he won’t even send you a wedding invitation. Fitting, right?
“Oikawa-san.” Hinata Shouyou’s voice sounds in his head, clear as day. “Iwaizumi-san is getting married.”
As Oikawa’s grown to find, sometimes, trying is all you have.
If there is no fear that looms in the background of every step you take, that is simply called doing. Trying is when you think it won't work, but you still go for it anyway. It is running headfirst into a concrete wall, then wishfully hoping it will give way to your idiocy, or stubbornness — whichever applied more.
Oikawa Tooru wants to be unafraid.
This is a story about being afraid as hell, but this is a story about not wanting to be afraid of trying, no matter where that may lead.

Summary
Clearly Iwaizumi had a checkered past. Kyoutani has never asked about it, nor has Iwaizumi ever brought it up. He knows it’s a sore spot for his mentor, just like the gorgeous Monte Carlo he keeps hidden away is, so he leaves it alone. Out on the streets, you learn a little something about when to turn a blind eye in order to survive; Kyoutani knows better than most to leave the past of men like Iwaizumi well alone.
It’s probably got something to do with the boy in the polaroids, though.
Retired pickpocket & conman Iwaizumi Hajime receives an invitation he can't possibly decline, pulling him back into his old life to work a job with his old friends and ex-lover Oikawa Tooru. His mostly-legit apprentice Kyoutani gets dragged along for the ride. It's a complete mess.Series
