Summary
Kosame grimaces at Appare’s obvious disregard of his thread. “I should hope not! You do know what the string means, right?”
Appare shakes his head innocently.
Kosame spreads his arms out wide, face alight with glee. “It means we are soulmates, Appare! The universe has determined that the two of us should be bound together for life!”
Appare’s eyebrows lift minutely in understanding, “Ohh,” only to return back to his box. “No thanks.”
Kosame’s jaw nearly drops. “Wha- ‘No thanks’?!”
---
Or, 5 times Kosame didn’t understand why he and Appare are soulmates, and the 1 time he did.

Summary
Isshiki Kosame was not the sort of man who fell in love at the drop of a hat.
Of course, that was a bald-faced lie, but it sort of helped Kosame sleep at night so he was going to keep telling himself that. Even if the exact opposite was actually true.
Historically, Kosame had always been most susceptible to these abrupt and intense flights of romance during the summer months.
So when he became responsible for the care and feeding of visiting genius Sorano Appare one summer, Kosame was almost unsurprised by how hard and fast he fell.

Summary
And at last, Eiji’s footsteps approach the balcony. Ash conveniently times a long stretch of his neck that he knows highlights the elegant line of his collarbone.
Now. This will be it. Ash can’t think of a person alive who could resist this particular tableau. It’s a statement that brings him a vague sense of nausea rather than pride, but it’s true nonetheless.
“You’re letting all the cool air out,” Eiji gripes. “Are you trying to air condition all of New York?”
Ash is startled enough that for just a moment, he drops the facade, and looks up at Eiji in disbelief.
“I… what?”
For the first time in his life, Ash’s attempts at seduction fail.

“Do you remember when we died?”

“When we were erased, I mean,” he adds. “Before Rindo turned back time. I can sort of remember it.”

“all that groove stuff really got us, huh,” neku muses. beat opens one eye to look at him, yawning. “feel like anytime now i’m gonna get pulled into the noise plane, or whatever.”
“it’ll go away with time, and stuff.” beat sounds so confident, so assured. probably experience from last time. neku picks at the edge of his hoodie and tries not to think about it. “true, though, shit’s wild. least i gotta better grip on music now.”
“yeah?”
“yeah! actually payin’ more attention now.”(or; conversation topics of varying emotional investment at a very late (or early) hour.)

Summary
Rhyme's big 18th birthday bash is on the horizon, and Beat is anxious about the possibility of clashing with his parents at her party. Having a romantic partner that lives up to their standards might go some way to keeping them from giving him a hard time, but the problem is, he doesn't have a romantic partner.
And so he turns to Neku, who is more than happy to help out his friend. But as the night unfolds, it turns out that maybe, just maybe -
This whole pretending to be partners thing is a little bit too enjoyable. For both of them.

Summary
Debbie’s there with a steady patience and Ruth, Ruth revels in the tolerance.
“Do you like him?” Ruth asks, just barely a whisper.
Debbie is still here, inches away, and knows exactly who Ruth is talking about. She looks at Ruth, and Ruth hopes to find something hidden behind Debbie’s eyes, but the other thing she’s learned about being friends (or whatever weird thing they are now) is that Debbie hides everything too well.
“Yeah,” Debbie says eventually. “I like the way he makes me feel.”
Ruth wants to say, that isn’t what I asked, but her brain is too muddled to wrap her head around that.

Summary
Post-Neo. Neku and Beat take a long moment to talk about things they didn't have time to say. With the daunting task of catching up on three lost years ahead of them, there are mixed feelings, painful memories, and lots of wrinkles that needed ironing out. They have to start somewhere, and figure it out from there.
Even after everything's come to an end, life goes on.
Beat/Neku, pre-relationship but not really ambiguous that feelings are present. Rated T for language.

Summary
‘Are you sure you’ll be okay by yourself for a few weeks?’
It’s the fifteenth time Blue has asked, and it’s starting to get on Red’s nerves. Something must show on his face, because Blue waves a hand, sighing.
‘It’s not that. I know you can take care of yourself,’ he shrugs, and then rests a hand gently on the cast on Red’s leg, ‘It’s this.’
Red glances down, frowning. His frown deepens at the signatures scrawled across the plaster – he’d initially tried to stop people from doing it, didn’t like the messiness, but a couple of the Battle Tree regulars did it anyway. As always, people really didn’t get ‘no’. Eventually, he gave in.
Even though Blue signed last, he managed to take up the most space.
‘I can cancel,’ Blue offers, again, but his heart is not in it. He’s been looking forward to this. They’ve been looking forward to this.
The plan had been Kalos, for four weeks. Blue had gotten an invitation to take part in a research tour, an expedition of the mountains. Naturally, Red had been immediately invited, with the plan to extend the expedition to a more personal tour of the country afterwards.
Then, Red broke his leg.
