    Summary

    They want to tell her they don’t give a damn about her eating chalk. They want to tell her they sniff scented markers stolen from their mom’s classroom. They want to tell her they literally share chewed-up pencils every day. They want to tell her just how pretty she looks when she’s furious.

    They don’t say anything.

    *

    Or, Kris watches their love life fall apart before it ever really started.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Every shriek of delight was Kris and Noelle’s thing. A knight and a princess a long time ago, when they’d play dress-up and Kris would carry Noelle around while she was still small and light enough. Pretending to drop her so she’d scream, but holding on tight because she was soft and sweet and they wanted to protect her. A bond formed through being different, weird, not belonging in their own bodies.

    Secrets, because they had no one else.

    Every unspoken tender moment should’ve been Kris and Susie’s thing. Was Kris and Susie’s thing, from the very first time they met, that little blossoming feeling from every brush of the hand and taking hits for each other and fighting back tears when things were too difficult to say in words. Each other’s first real somethings, quite literally forged in prophecy.

    Unspoken, because they got each other.

    The way they looked at each other, how they used to look at Kris when they thought Kris wasn’t looking.

    That was Kris’s. Should be Kris’s.

    Summary

    Bachira was looking uncharacteristically downtrodden. Which was, of course, none of Rin’s business. If anything, it was a blessing—a whole proper meal without anyone bothering him! But it was in his best interests to still have warm, breathing bodies that counted towards the five-person quota they needed to hit.
    Rin prodded Bachira’s prone form with the head of a chopstick.
    “Are you alive,” he intoned.
    Bachira did not move.

    The one who suffers most from Bachira and Isagi's second selection almost-breakup is Rin.

    He knew he had done something wrong when Bachira’s whole face lit up again. “Rin-chaaan, I didn’t know you were paying attention when I talked.”

    Rin felt a sense of something foreboding creeping up on him, the kind of feeling he would’ve gotten were he in the woods in the middle of the night and with something waiting in the bushes. “I’m not.”

    “But you remember the things I say.”

    “If this is a surprise to you, then I’m sorry to say you’ve spent your entire life surrounded by lukewarm shits with goldfish memories.”

    Bachira grabbed both of Rin’s hands, starry-eyed. “Rin-chan, you care!”

    “Are you hearing me at all,” Rin said.

    “My hair,” the voice explains, sounding reluctant to even be doing so. “It’s gray.”

    Gray. The owner of the voice’s hair is gray. What is he supposed to do with that information? “Have I just been flirting with a sixty-year-old man for the past two months? Oh my god, and I even called you babe.”

    “Yes,” the voice says in a tone that suggests completely otherwise. “You got me. The jig is up. Congrats, your prize is a free McFlurry.”

    “Well hey, a McFlurry’s a McFlurry. I guess I’ll take it, ahjussi.”

    The voice makes a choked noise and sputters out, “Ahjussi?” and Jungkook laughs all the way to the next window.

    "You don't want me to see you as your rival," Isagi says, "and you don't want to see me as yours. Because then we would be equal."

    He wants to, though. He wants to say, one day, you’ll be saying it the other way around. You’ll be calling Sae Itoshi Rin’s brother, and my name will be the one that everyone knows, and people will know that I am the one person who survives this barbaric Blue Lock program to become the best striker the world has ever known

    -

    Desire in the shape of two beasts, two brothers, one named love and one named hatred. Rin knows that desire twists into one monster that eats everything in his path. And when it does, Isagi will be standing right before him, standing as someone Rin cares enough about to fight, cares enough to consume, cares enough to devour whole with the want of an animal roaring alive.

    Summary

    Anri does not know much about soccer–leave that to Ego and his speeches packed with more metaphors than prepositions–but these things she recognizes: the look of a starved animal carved into their eyes, the desperation etched into the sound of their voices, the way they gather anything and everything and lay it down as kindling before the dying embers of a half-forgotten dream.

    These things, Anri thinks, she might know better than anyone.

    In their minds, he is an eccentric with bizarre ideas and she is a hag in the mountain who talks to animals. They are different brands of delusional.

    They take his gamble. They give Blue Lock one impossible chance against Japan’s U-20.

    It is more than Anri could have ever bargained for with her sweaters.

    Summary

    Gongseop's face is unmoving, even more so than the bell was, but his pupils flick downwards towards Taesoo's noble fist, then even further down towards the ground—their feet—and Taesoo realises belatedly, ah, shit, touchy subject.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Fuck you, Gongseop mutters, the words are painless but the way he presses his thumb into Taesoo's wounded eye is decidedly not, a hiss escapes from between Taesoo's teeth, like someone is digging a dagger into the socket—he drags roughly around the sphenoid, ethmoid, lacrimal, all the bones the doctor had pointed out on the model of a skull—I'm going soft on you this time, but come up to the temple again and see what happens, bitch.

    Summary

    Klavier stared through the window in silence. In that silence, Simon could hear his reprisals of the past.

    Unattainable approval. Standards never to be met. A throne of lies that he had been too naïve to see Kristoph’s manicured hands construct, even as his own—scarred from guitars and stained with ink—followed in their act, desperate for cheers and applause as they used the tools forged before them. And all of it, he had done with an eager, show-stopping smile.

    Klavier did not smile now. He only continued to stare with a severity that hardened his eyes and cast stark shadows upon his features.

    Kristoph Gavin stared back. A smile pulled at his lips. It did not fit among the gaunt features of his countenance, his eyes shadowed by hollows, his cheeks sunken into the bone beneath; but then, none of his physical appearance corresponded with his demeanor. He lifted his head, just barely, pale hair streaming down in a perfect, precise curl onto the gurney whose straps bound him. Then his voice crackled over the speakers. “My, my, what a surprise… It’s been four years too many,” he said, “Klavier.”

    Simon Blackquill accompanies Klavier Gavin to his brother's execution.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    His fingers brushed through his hair. Klavier leaned into his touch as he followed along the roots, tracing the curl of each golden lock flowing from his head, soft and smooth and featherlight beneath fingertips, and leaving the faint aroma of citrus where his hands roamed. As his fingers fell to the curve of his nape, his hand stilled; and, gently, he returned his hand to the top of his head, stroking his hair once again.

    He had seen the act of affection from Metis to Athena, years ago.

    Now, it seemed all he could do as sobs wracked through Klavier, deafening despite how the fabric of his jinbaori muffled the sound. They shook convulsions down his spine, heaving his shoulders, as if the weight of his grief was far too heavy a burden to bear; but if Klavier were to crumble before him, to fall, Simon vowed to catch him.

    When children are afraid to speak, they remain silent.

    When children are taught to be silent, atrocious things can happen, and they will not utter a word.

    Care has been awfully silent.

    Giorno snaps his fingers at Fugo gratefully. "He was the boss. I should not care about him personally except that he made Passione sell drugs, and weapons. That's no good, you know."

    Jolyne slides her eyes over to Hermès, who is very resolutely looking at the road. She bites her lip. Jolyne thinks about the dime bag of weed currently sitting in the glove compartment. "Oh, yeah, for sure."

Her stomach feels heavy in that pleasant way it does when she eats too many sweets, and her cheeks ache from smiling and laughing for longer than her body is used to.

    This must be what love feels like.

    Jonathan,

    Checking to see if I got the right address for you guys. Just in case, you know?

    And I thought you'd want to know that even though the kids miss Will and El a lot they're getting by OK so far. Everybody is a little quieter but Mike isn't showing any signs of deppression which I know was like a legitimate concern. But you probably already hear about him from Nancy so I'm sure you already knew.

    Anyways you don't have to write back if you just put a big check mark over this paper and do the "return to sender" thing or whatever that works and I'll know you got it.
     
    Thanks,
    Steve
