    Summary

    “It is just like the Tokyo Tower,” Wakatoshi says, staring at the large structure made of iron and steel. The Tokyo Tower came after the Eiffel Tower, and was modeled after the Eiffel Tower, but it is painted red and white. Also, it is actually functional as a radio tower. The Eiffel Tower, as far as he knows, does not serve any other purpose besides being a national monument. “And we have that back in Japan. I do not see what all of the fuss is about.”

    “They call that Paris syndrome,” Satori snorts, lazily waving his hand at the tower. “Where you get real disappointed and you start, like, hallucinating and sweating a lot when you visit Paris, ‘cause it’s nothing like what you thought it would be like. Happens a lot with Japanese tourists, did you know that? Because they build up Paris to be some grand thing in their mind, and then they get disappointed when they find out that it’s just like any other city.”

    “I see.” Wakatoshi does not think he is currently suffering from Paris syndrome, because he did not expect too much out of the city. And in any case—how could he be disappointed when his best friend is with him?

    Summary

    Prince Akaashi had lived a tranquil life. His family ruled the kingdom in peace for generations—no wars, no heavy taxes, no unrest. A quiet, noble existence. But peace is fragile.

    One night, everything shatters. A coup d'état strikes the castle, forcing Akaashi to flee with nothing but the clothes on his back and the loyalty of his two closest companions—his steadfast knight, Ushijima and Oikawa.

    They escape into the depths of the forest, believing isolation will bring safety. But the woods are not empty. And the world beyond their kingdom is not what they expected.

    ----

    “So, uh… it’s part of the tradition,” he said, eyes flicking toward the dancers. “You don’t have to or anything, but… would you like to dance?”
    Keiji looked up at him, surprised—but then he smiled, small and genuine. “I’d like that.”
    Before he stepped away, he turned to Ushijima, who stood like a silent sentinel near the fire. “Will you be alright here?”
    Ushijima didn’t hesitate. His gaze flicked briefly to Bokuto, then back to Keiji. “If he touches you inappropriately,” he said, deadpan, “I will break his arm.”

    Summary

    The mission was simple: deliver the package to team D.

    A mission with just two elements, and Tendou knows it will be easy, especially with the (surprisingly) calm alpha Iwaizumi, from the combat team, at his side.

    But when an enemy emerges from the shadows and takes them both by surprise, Tendou is forced to seek refuge in the arms of someone he never dreamed of.

    He just hopes that it doesn't get in the way of the bond he's trying to create with his team leader, Ushijima.

    Or

    Where Tendou has a forced heat and, in order not to suffer the consequences of being away from his pack, he is forced to snuggle with Iwaizumi, the mated alpha of team A.
