    Summary

    As he watches Angel stand calf deep in the water, bathed in sunlight and happy, Aki realizes two things.

    One is that he is hopelessly in love with him.

    And two-

    “I never thanked you,” Aki winces at the way his voice cracks and Angel looks up at him from where he’s crouched to watch the small fish swim by. He’s visibly confused, tilting his head enough that the tips of his hair dip into the water. “For saving me that day on the beach.”

    Summary

    The Future Devil showed Aki a vision, an image of the Angel’s gloved hands cupping Aki’s jaw as he slipped his thumb into Aki’s mouth.

    “No,” said Aki, aloud. “No, that’s not going to happen.”

    -

    After asking the Angel to wear gloves to work, Aki has visions of the two of them in a compromising position together.

    Summary

    “You’re thinking too loudly,” Angel says. “You always do that.”

    Aki frowns.

    “I think too loudly?” he replies, a scoff at the back of his throat. Angel nods.

    “Yes. You think and think and think but you never say anything. What’s the point?”

    Aki looks away from Angel and back out at the plummeting rain, shrugging his shoulders.

    “You’re not exactly the most talkative either,” he grumbles, folding his arms to stifle a shiver as the wind whips harshly around the shelter. Angel blinks.

    “Yes, but I’m not thinking.”

    -

    It begins innocently, as these things often do. It ends as hellishly as Angel feared it might, Aki poised above him, heart ready and willing in his hands.

    Summary

    Aki's entire life is founded in his belief that all devils are the same, and that in contrast to the seasons, nobody ever changed. “And I haven’t proven you wrong,” Angel admits.

    “Do you even want to prove me wrong?” Aki scoffs. Angel's eyes widen slightly, like he’d been caught doing something forbidden. The air suddenly stills.

    “Would it be so hopeless?” The devil finally asks, and it sounds so genuine, Aki can’t help but consider his words. To ask a man to change his values, and a devil to change his nature.

    “It might be."

    —The story about how the Angel Devil and Aki Hayakawa slowly and helplessly fall for each other. This is my version of all their moments that were ‘not included’ in the manga.
