    Summary

    “Ryou, I’m right here. I’m here, I’m okay, please..-”

    Arms tighten around his waist. His eyes shoot open and he chokes out a gasp. His eyes try to adjust to the dim light. “Hey, you’re okay, I’m right here, breathe with me, okay? I’m right here,” Karube repeats like a broken record.
    ...
    “I hate seeing you cry..."

    Day 5: Post Borderlands (hurt/comfort)

    Or: Arisu struggles with nightmares. Luckily he has Karube who is nothing but patient and maybe they'll realise how both of them need to find some comfort in each other. After all, there's a comfort in hurt/comfort.

    Summary

    Despite herself, Hikari can’t help but call out to him. “Bye! Good luck!”

    “Bye?” Karube raises a brow at her, “Seems a little premature.”

    “Fine. How about: see you later?”

    “Alright.” Karube grins a little, like he’s pleased with her. Like he finds her funny. Her stomach swoops at the sight of it, and she can’t tell if it’s because she’s flustered or guilty. “See you later, Kuina. Good luck.”

    -

    Or: Three times Karube and Kuina said goodbye and one time they said hello.

    Summary

    “My eyes are up here." “Can’t help it, you have pretty lips.”
    “Do I now?”
    “Yes, and very kissable ones at that."

    “The vegetables-“ “Can wait,” Niragi breathes out. They stumble backwards just for Karube to back him up against the kitchen counter, not trapping him and more asking, pleading to stay. “Missed you..-“

    Slowly, Karube sinks to his knees in silence to nothing but the rhythmic beating of his own heart while is mind keeps chanting ‘yes, whatever you want. Whenever. However. I’m yours…’ like a poem.

    Day 1 - Handholding + Eye Contact (nsfw edition)

    Or: Niragi and Karube have gentle (and desperate) sex against the kitchen counter and on the table. Lots of hand holding, dirty talk, questionable sock motives, Karube being very eager to please, appreciation of top-surgury scars and two people making each other feel good.

    Summary

    When Niragi asked him to be his canvas for an important project, Karube, true to his 'Never say no to time spent with Suguru'-agenda, agreed with neither hesitation nor registering what that implies.
    Clearly he hadn't thought it through - or understood that 'body painting' entails being almost naked. With Niragi up close. Staring down at him intensely and with that concentrated frown that has his knees going weak.
    *

    TL;DR: Karube is absolutely and irrevocably in love with his best friend. Also fucked. Metaphorically (for now, at least).

    Summary

    Because Karube was his God, and all he could think about was worshiping every part of him like he was hungry.

    To trail kisses on him so Karube finally hammers into his horny head that Arisu wasn’t just someone who he could cum into, or call when he wanted to jerk off, but was someone he could love. Someone he could turn to no matter the issue. No matter what he needed, or wanted.

    Because Arisu was down bad, and he wanted Karube to be the same.

    OR; For years, Arisu had thought that Karube didn’t reciprocate his romantic feelings for him. It takes multiple quick fucks, 9 months, and one late night call to make him realize that he was very much wrong.
