Summary
Some stories that took place on rainy days, about their lingering past and the ongoing present.
They moved in together and now face life together. The past never really fades from their minds, but they have each other.
(The latest updated chapter of the comic really drove me crazy, so I wrote these to comfort myself.)Series

Summary
Treading upon the shattered moonlight, he left the park step by step, remembering how he had once stepped toward Sakura and Nirei in the classroom. If Suo Hayato had stopped back then, if everything had been rewritten, would that have been a good ending?
The moon was covered.
But he walked toward them, and then the perfect tragedy happened.

Summary
“He was accustomed to dealing with the world through words.He knew his friends weren't good at this sort of thing — but that was all right, it was fine. He would do that. Nirei Akihiko was good at expressing himself, and thus lost many opportunities to be saved by simply being listened to. Until today, when fate took away his ability to perceive, he finally heard the voices that had been drowned out around him.”
————
Wrote about Nirei, who fell quiet because he was sick, and Sakura and Suo going grocery shopping — something I'd always wanted to see. Just a slice-of-life, plotless little stream of consciousness.Series

A Man Called Nirei Decides to Die by yutang_smile

Summary
They wouldn't be better off.
Nirei knew that. He had always known it, really. He was only lying to himself. Because if he didn't lie to himself, he wouldn't have the courage to do this. But if he didn't do this, he would never have the chance to find out — that he didn't actually want to do it.It was an absurd circle. He had trapped himself inside it. Now he stood at the center of that circle and saw that the start and the end were the same point — he wanted to live. He wanted to live with them.
He had spent so long writing so many pages of plans, buying what he needed, erasing his traces, trying to disappear from this world in the calmest, least burdensome way possible. But in the end, he still wanted love. Still wanted to be seen. Still wanted to have those two hold his hands and hear them say, "You're alive."

Cyclical Ichigo Ichie by yutang_smile

Summary
Tried writing a story about Suo staying in Bankoku-gai after everything was over, instead of returning to Bofurin.
————
"Ichigo ichie (いちごいちえ)"is a Japanese term originating from the tea ceremony. It originally referred to the host's attitude of treasuring each encounter as "once in a lifetime, to be cherished in this world." Later, its meaning expanded to express that every meeting in life is an unrepeatable occasion, and thus should be approached with sincerity and respect.
_____Suo Hayato knew these winding streets as intimately as his own veins — in a way, both had shaped his body. The air of Bankoku-gai pulsed through his blood. He led his two friends through his past.

Strands of Longing by yutang_smile

Summary
I imagined a story where all three of them have long hair.
________
In any case, Sakura was almost always the first to fall asleep. The wind on the rooftop was softened by the railings, gentle and light. When a few strands of hair blew across his face, Nirei would gently tuck them behind his ears. The soft rustle of fingers running through his hair mingled with the quiet chatter of Nirei and Suo, drifting into his ears, and even his nightmares were blown away.Series

The Name-Calling War by yutang_smile

Summary
A tug-of-war over names. A secret bet inside Bofurin Class 1-1. Classmates who love watching the drama unfold, a class rep with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, a vice-rep with a mischievous streak, and another vice-rep who can't make up his mind.
________
He thought of those false, hollow displays of affection. The cold words hidden behind closed doors. What followed his name was always mockery or endless commands. Haruka, Haruka, Haruka. They were calling him, yet they weren't. Haruka — probably the thing farthest from Sakura Haruka in this world.Series

A Night Where Nothing Happens by yutang_smile

Summary
·Nothing plot-heavy — just a slice-of-life piece. I wanted to write a reliable Sakura, a somewhat melancholy Nirei, and a Suo who's a bit at a loss and ends up quietly watching over them.
——————————————
He suddenly remembered an explanation of "good night" that he'd come across somewhere — may your night be filled with peace. He recited the phrase to himself in his heart, from his left hand to his right, from his right back to his left, circling around the three of them.It will be peaceful.
He thought drowsily. Because this is a night where nothing happens. Tomorrow will be sunny — or rainy, it doesn't matter. Either way, when I wake up, I'll see Sakura-san and Suo-san.

Summary
Suo sidestepped the weight of it. "While I was over there, I'd sometimes dream about you two," he said, pausing. "I'd dream that we were still on the rooftop of Bofurin. Sakura-kun was dozing off, and Nire-kun was taking notes. Then I'd wake up and realize it was just a dream, and... I'd sit there for a while."
Nirei knew he should say something — something light, like "Well, you don't have to dream about it anymore." He was good at that. But he found that he couldn't speak. Because that feeling Suo had just described was too familiar — during the time Suo was gone, he'd had those dreams too. He'd wake up before dawn, and the emptiness would keep him company until sunrise.

Sensory Deprivation Syndrome by yutang_smile

Summary
When Sensory Deprivation Syndrome first appeared in the news, everyone was in a panic.
People who contracted it would suddenly and inexplicably lose one of their senses — some lost touch, some lost hearing, some lost smell... Later, it was discovered that it came on quickly and went away just as fast. At most, it would last two months, and there were no lasting side effects. So people gradually started treating it like a long, drawn-out cold. Whoever got it — bad luck. You just had to tough it out and it would pass.
————————
I suddenly realized I'd posted the wrong version that was only half the story, and it was sitting on AO3 for almost three hours...
NOW I've fixed it and put up the full version. Hope you ended up reading the full one!Series

Some say that Suo Hayato, the executive of Bankoku-gai, is cold-blooded, ruthless, and cruel.
Others say that Suo Hayato, the executive of Bankoku-gai, is gentle yet powerful, and protects the weak.

Summary
The three continued along the night road. The air was still thick and stifling, but the faint breeze from walking occasionally let a sliver of coolness slip between their clothes and skin. There were hardly any pedestrians left, most shops had pulled down their shutters, with only a few convenience stores and pharmacies still lit.
Suo remarked that tomorrow would be even hotter, and Nirei picked up the thread, talking about the heatwave warnings he'd seen on his phone, and how the new shaved ice shop nearby supposedly had good matcha flavor. Sakura didn't say much, but he walked a little slower, as if not in a hurry for this walk to end.Series

Will Tomorrow Be Good Weather? by yutang_smile

Summary
*This is a small follow-up to "A Man Called Nirei Decides to Die."*
"Sakura-kun, I don't know what to do either." Occasionally, when the three of them slept together, he would secretly listen to the sound of Nirei's heartbeat , counting each beat to lull himself to sleep, so he could escape the nightmares that sometimes clung to him. But he couldn't let Nirei know, and he couldn't let Sakura know either. He couldn't let either of them worry about him — especially Nire-kun. He couldn't let Nire-kun feel guilty.
When he was alone, ruminating, he sometimes found it absurd: they suffered because of Nirei's pain, which in turn worsened Nirei's anxiety, which in turn made him and Sakura suffer... back and forth, they were trapped in a loop none of them could escape. They all knew it clearly, yet had to pretend to be oblivious.

Summary
A story about Sakura and Suo meeting a young Nirei.
________________
"Something like that." Sakura tightened his grip on Nirei's hand.
"Oh." Nirei looked straight ahead. "Then I want to grow up quickly."
"You don't have to." You don't have to. Suo said quietly.
He looked at that young face and thought of the days after they'd met: the boy who loved learning about everyone — was he searching for answers to old questions through them? But so what if he grew up? Suo thought. He would still get hurt. He would still walk along the world's winding paths toward sorrow."Akihiko, you don't have to rush to grow up." In the end, all Suo said was that.
