It all starts with a little friendly competition.
It ends on a weekend during sunset.
false premise by eeriemedusa 🍵🌹🌸
What feels like a lifetime later, Kaoru is halfway down the S track and still believes that what Kojiro said is true.
He has built his entire strategy this evening around that premise, around the foundational knowledge that Ainosuke will not hurt him. Not really, not intentionally.
--Machine learning is only as good as the available data. Kaoru can’t account for all his mistakes.

The reason why Ainosuke left Kaoru behind.
the long way down by Jay_Grace
“Kojiro’s sweet…” Adam started, lip twitching into a smile, “but there’s not much behind the eyes,” his own eyes sparkled, meeting Kaoru’s as if they were sharing an inside joke. Kaoru laughed, suddenly breathless.
“you haven’t tasted his cooking,” Kaoru said, figuring he should at least try to defend his friend. Adam hummed, sipping the drink the waiter dropped off during their conversation.
“not as good as the food here, I bet,” he said. ‘not as good as what I can offer you,’ Kaoru heard, reading between the lines.
Adam’s eyes hadn’t left his, even as his head dipped down to taste the overpriced wine. Kaoru knew it was overpriced; he’d had the same kind a few months back at a party his parents threw. It was okay back then, but here, with the dim lighting and Adam’s raking gaze, it tasted like pure ecstasy
aka: being with Adam is like a dream, until it all comes crashing down.
XOR by besselfcn 🍵
He does not know anything. He does not know what hurts. He does not know his mother’s name. He does not even know if he is awake now.
He knew Adam once. The way he used to know his own body.
If those are gone, what else could he know?
lucidity by besselfcn 🍵
So you spend your days in school with Kojiro, each of you sketching daydreams in the corners of your notebooks; you spend your evenings at the rink listening to the sound of metal grinding against wood, chasing boys through crowded alleys, the three of you laughing as you leave the rest of them miles behind; and you spend your nights with Adam.
Charmed by benicemurphy 🌹🌸
Kaoru gets Adam a present for his birthday and is nervous about giving it to him.
In Due Time (We'll Finally See) by benicemurphy 🌹🌸
As has been his habit since Kojiro first started accepting Tadashi and Adam into his restaurant after hours, Kaoru does his best not to engage. It’s true that he told Kojiro when it first came up that he was fine with it, but even now, several months after the end of the tournament and a smaller, though not insignificant number of months since they began seeing each other outside of S again, Kaoru can’t seem to let it go. 🌸 Or: Kaoru and Adam have a long-overdue conversation.
Kiss It Better by killjester
Adam and Cherry kiss and make up. Kind of.
can i have this dance? by tellmewhatyousee 🌹🌸
Adam gives Cherry a dance lesson.
I Love You (and maybe that's enough) by Odazai
Ainosuke just wants to heal, to be loved, to be enough.
Repent & Make Efforts by RosieRaven 🍵🌹🌸 (loveblossom-centric poly!)
Cherry tries to find closure. Adam tries to atone.
------------------------------------------------
“Can’t I just want to treat an old acquaintance to dinner?”
Kaoru slaps his palm on the table and the crystal clinks and sways dangerously. “Quit dodging the subject. What is this?”
Adam looks frustrated for a moment before he’s able to smooth out his countenance. “It’s whatever you, want it to be.”
Kaoru rolls his eyes.
“I’m not trying to be vague. I mean it. If you want to lay into me, with words or by other means, and never see me again, then that’s what this is. If it’s just-” Their eyes lock as Adam searches for words. His expression is more serious than it’s been all night. “If it’s just… penance until you’re satisfied, then that’s what this is. It’s whatever you want, Cherry.”
