Summary
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Organized Crime Control Bureau has set up a sting operation to catch a drug deal in the act, with the specific aim of arresting known criminal Ikeda Yasunori, one of the key players in Tokyo's illegal drug trade. He has a violent past and if they make any mistakes, he's going to take the opportunity to run. That's where Iwaizumi comes in.
It's fairly standard procedure to have at least one handler and canine pair at an operation, and Iwaizumi's one of the best. His canine partner Maro is aggressive enough to terrify the majority of the force, and that's just fine by him. If this guy's as nasty and desperate as the briefing makes him out to be, that aggression might be just what they need.

Summary
He thinks of Tooru’s glowing Star Wars posters and fairy lights, plastered across the large wardrobe in the second room, which contains a gigantic mess of their combined clothes - ownership is fluid and brief here, and Hajime can’t say he minds.
(Nor that he minds that the second bed has remained empty since their first night here, and that he’s grown used to Tooru’s soft breathing, his lips against Hajime’s skin and his warm weight pressed into his side.)

Summary
Noun: Terpsichore (turp’si-ku-ree) Taking a series of rhythmical steps (and movements) in time to music
They’d ended up going to different universities, Tooru and he. The distance was good for them. The confession Hajime dropped in both their laps wasn’t.That’s how it’d ended – a lifetime of friendship crumbled to dust in the space of five minutes.
(Or, a lesson in learning to move on from things you can't have, in finding old loves in new ways and in understanding that life is never truly simple... till it is.)

Summary
Clearly Iwaizumi had a checkered past. Kyoutani has never asked about it, nor has Iwaizumi ever brought it up. He knows it’s a sore spot for his mentor, just like the gorgeous Monte Carlo he keeps hidden away is, so he leaves it alone. Out on the streets, you learn a little something about when to turn a blind eye in order to survive; Kyoutani knows better than most to leave the past of men like Iwaizumi well alone.
It’s probably got something to do with the boy in the polaroids, though.
Retired pickpocket & conman Iwaizumi Hajime receives an invitation he can't possibly decline, pulling him back into his old life to work a job with his old friends and ex-lover Oikawa Tooru. His mostly-legit apprentice Kyoutani gets dragged along for the ride. It's a complete mess.Series
