    Summary

    “I said. I think I’m in love with Nani.”

    The silence is deafening.

    Tay, Fourth, Aou and First all wearing identical looks of disbelief on their faces, blinking at him like he’s just said the dumbest thing they’ve ever heard.

    He basically had.

    “Well shit, Sky, we’ve been telling you that for a year now.”

    ~
    In which Sky realises he is in-fact in love with his best friend Nani.

    Summary

    Nani’s a cold, closed-off CEO with a complicated relationship to food.

    Sky’s a five-star chef—bright, curious, and maddeningly persistent.

    The first time they meet, Nani sends his untouched plate back with a cold, “I don’t like it.”
    Sky walks out, grins—dimples and all—tucks a daisy behind his ear, and asks him to come back.

    Private sessions follow—quiet, tense, intimate. Sky peels back the layers Nani’s spent years perfecting. Nani tries not to let him.

    It’s messy. It’s slow. It’s painful.
    But sometimes, healing starts with a bite.

    Summary

    “Tell me… did the idea of doing a series with me really horrify you that much? Not necessarily a BL.”
    Nani lowered his gaze. He took a moment. Then another. The words came slowly. “That’s not the point” he said. “It’s just that… even back then, people always compared us. You were brilliant. People loved you. Always. Effortlessly. And me… I always felt like I was chasing.”
    Sky paused, watching him, but didn’t interrupt.
    "The competition” Nani continued, “was never between you and me. Not for me, at least. It was always between me… and the people watching. Who kept choosing you. Because you were more sociable. More open. Because you were Sky.”
    Sky sighed, then said:“Did you never realize that… while you were running to get ahead of me, I was running to catch up to you?”
    Nani said nothing. But his heart, that started running. For reasons of its own.
    ---

    Simply Sky and Nani in my favorite trope, kindly offered by "we best love": enemies to lovers, "I defy you in everything, so that at least you notice me", but not so much enemies because actually one has a crush on the other practically from the geological era but he chose the wrong way to let him know.

    Summary

    Seething, Kiyoomi leaps from his seat to his full height, chest puffed out as though he were an alpha. The sweet-gingery residuals of his scent hanging in the summer air tell a contradicting tale and Miya lounges back on his makeshift throne with one leg hooked over the armrest, grinning smugly as though finding the entire display amusing.

    "I won't bow to you," Kiyoomi tells him with a surprisingly unwavering confidence. "You can fuck me, degrade me, pump me full of pups and whatever alpha's like you do, but I won't get down on my knees and beg for it. You'll never have me more than physically."

    He doesn't know what he expected, maybe to be hit or worse, but Miya laughs and looks him up and down crudely over the rim of his empty cup.

    "We'll see, Kiyoomi, pretty things were born to beg."

    (With the Sakusa name tarnished, the family's final effort to regain its reputation is to sell their omega son as a bride to a nomadic clan off mainland Japan. Dressed in a pale yellow kimono, Kiyoomi is handed his death sentence.

    If he cannot impress a clan with a ruthless reputation, produce heirs or ride and fight with them — he fears he may not survive this)
