    Summary

    What followed was a long winded scolding from Khaslana, who proceeded to pick apart all of Stelle's flaws ("Your desk is a mess! Your attire is not work appropriate. You were supposed to turn in the progress report a week ago! Yada yada yada—")

    Stelle thought bitterly that Khaslana would look a lot more handsome if he simply stopped yelling all the time. Then she took notice of the lack of a ring on his left hand and wondered if her boss was just chronically married to his work.

    ("It's because he's bitchless and chopped that he's taking it out on us!" Stelle would complain to Dan Heng later during their meet up. Behind the counter, Mydei dropped his plate from how hard he was laughing.)

    or: despite being an engineer, stelle gets hired to work at a law firm. she decides that her efforts are better off spent setting up her boss with his ex.

    Summary

    Sunday's eyes are fixed on the piano. He can't explain why, but something about it is captivating.

    It's been a very long time since Sunday's played piano.

    "Uh, Passenger Sunday?" the Conductor repeats, and Sunday blinks, stiffening as he glances down to meet their eyes, widened slightly in expectation.

    "I - sorry," he stammers, clasping his hands together before him in an effort to keep him from tugging his feathers. "I was just - I didn't know there was a piano aboard the Express."

    Pom-Pom glances back at it, a small sigh leaving their lips. "Ah, yes," they say, shaking their head. "That old thing... it belonged to Akivili, many years ago."

    They say this in the same tone one might say we found it on the side of the road amongst the trash and not this instrument belonged to the long-dead Aeon of the Trailblaze.

    The crew of the Astral Express, as Sunday quickly learns, love music.

    Or: five times Sunday played piano for a Nameless, and once he played for someone else.

    Summary

    "What's wrong with you?"

    Goro folds his arms. "Why do you always assume something is wrong?" He challenges.

    "'Cuz you're actin' effin' weird," Ryuji says, sitting back up. Goro doesn't think he's ever seen him sit still for longer than five minutes. "You're normally so much more talkative, and right now you're just making jabs at me. What's happening in your head?"

    -

    in which goro doesn't know what "being a good friend" is supposed to look like, and also gets a plush dog thrown at his face

    Summary

    Laying flat on his back in Goro's bed, Ryuji did nothing but stare into the darkness, wide awake, unable to stop feeling so fucking anxious. It's not a big deal and nor will it be the end of the world, but his nerves won't allow him to feel otherwise. Goro remained turned away from Ryuji, a little curled up, which... may have been more adorable than Ryuji wanted to admit. He thinks he's been asleep for awhile now with how quiet and still he's been. The blond finds a hint of solace in that, at least.

     

    That is, until Goro carefully adjusts, like he's trying to keep the bit of space between him and Ryuji, and he isn't sure how to feel about that.

    Or:

    Ryuji's anxiety over sharing a bed with his boyfriend for the first time.
