Word Count: 695
Rating: Teen
Pairing: Eikichi/Miyabi

         Tatsuya had thought himself ready for Maya-nee’s arrival. As expected, she doesn’t ask any questions or bring any personal grudges to bear. Just like everyone else, she appears to have been crying a little, makeup hastily reapplied (and it seems she’s still relying on her former roommate to help her out there, because there are mistakes even an amateur like Tatsuya can spot). She is, however, beaming through the tears, and whether she’s actually happy his hand has been forced and he can no longer hide behind excuses or she’s putting on a brave smile, trying to get through this with positive thinking, is entirely unclear, but extremely admirable either way.
         He was not ready for her to simply hug him like a big sister would, and all of a sudden he finds himself crying uncontrollably on her shoulder as she gently lets him and his big brother watches helplessly.

I actually love Philemon but I don’t think Tatsuya has or ever will forgive the bet.

??? Okay, anyone wanna explain to me why the Joker used a flower symbol of a yellow iris? The hanakotoba I’m getting from multiple sites are ‘loyalty, good news’, and occasionally some other positive things? The closest thing is maybe knowledge, like, seek enlightenment and after you find it I’ll take my revenge, or mayyybe at a stretch ‘finally my day of revenge has come, this is good news for me’, but, like??? From its place in the story I always kind of assumed it was a similar meaning to the orange lily.

Why are Jun’s parents still alive and yet he’s going by Kashihara unlike ‘This Side’? Not even Tatsuya knows.

         “Do you even own a guitar anymore, Tacchi?” Jun asks, and Hanamura-kun gasps and whips around hard enough he accidentally walks into one of the trees on the shrine ground. Seta-kun looks concerned, but other than the wince, the pain can’t overcome the brunet’s excitement.
         “You play guitar, Suou-san?” he gasps, and Tatsumi-kun whistles.
         “Not gonna lie, that’s pretty sweet, Suou-san.”
         Tatsuya, meanwhile, looks like he wants to melt into the ground at all the attention. He can be really shy, though it’s easy to overlook if you don’t know what you’re looking for. “…Yes,” he answers after a bit, flicking his lighter quickly.
         Jun merely raises an eyebrow, silently asking which question he’d been answering, and his dragon answers, “…Both.” He takes a deep breath and continues more normally. “Though it’s been a while. I think it’s at Katsuya and Maya-nee’s, and I haven’t touched it in years. The strings will probably snap the second I do.”
         “I really need to get back into it,” Hanamura-kun’s renewed enthusiasm is touching, and it’s nice seeing that while he no longer plays there’s one hobby where Tatsuya hasn’t lost all interest.
