    Summary

    "In times like these, it’s almost easier to convince himself that this is something he deserves. That’s been one of the most difficult parts about siding with the League so far: being able to take something, even just an hour or two under a raining sky, hiding in a train station because he wants to, and take it without looking over his shoulder for repercussions. After years of having it repeatedly drilled into his skull that his role is to give, to give, to give, the action of taking seems like nothing short of a guilty pleasure. He’d never stopped giving for the Commission. They’d taken his time, his morals, his thoughts, his identity, his life, and had snatched them from his young and tiny hands before he’d even had the sense to hold on tighter. His trainers had called it saving, but Hawks knew better. They’d been taking from him all along- and now, he was taking things back for himself too, little by little."

    Summary

    The Lawson he works at is a small one, slotted between an aging herbal pharmacy and a bookstore. It’s located just off the main street, and there’s a much bigger Family Mart two blocks away by the train station. Between the location, the narrow space, and limited stock, there usually isn’t much nighttime foot traffic, making it the perfect choice for a low-key part-time job, just enough extra cash to more comfortably offset the bills his athlete’s stipend mostly covers.

    All in all, it’s usually pretty quiet and uneventful, and tonight is too until he hears a terrific crash, the soft plaps of a lot of stuff hitting the floor, and a muffled “Crap!”

    Kazuya sighs, and goes to investigate.

    Miyuki works part-time at a convenience store. Sawamura doesn't, but it works out anyway.

    “Says who?”

    “Says me and every other detective novel out there!”

    -

    Wherein Miyuki Kazuya constantly steals Kuramochi Youichi's bed, living space, and mooches off his food.

    Summary

    Now, Eijun, his mother had told him, serious in a way she rarely was, round face kind and young. He gets his eyes from her, but where hers are like a dawning sun, his are all fire. If it’s there for the taking, isn’t it your responsibility to do so?

    Anyone who feels responsibility isn’t free. But Eijun doesn’t know how to be afraid, so he isn’t.

    (His heart may be twice as big as his lungs and sturdy, but it’s still growing into its spaces, finding its footing when it comes to things that are complicated. Eijun just doesn’t know how to not love something with all he is.)

     

    Or, Sawamura Eijun learns how to stand on his own two legs, falls, and gets back up again. Featuring matters of heart, what makes a team, and how one Miyuki Kazuya somehow becomes part of it all.

    Summary

    The sound of Sawamura slumping on the edge of his bed drew his attention, so he swiveled a bit to crane his neck at the guy. He was pointedly ignoring Okumura, opting instead to stare resolutely at Kazuya, his eyes just as glittery and steely as earlier during the game. He had to battle down the amused huff that wanted to escape his chest, reminding himself that Sawamura wasn’t mad at him. Maybe. Probably. If he believed Nabe’s earlier words.

    “What did you think of today’s game?”

    Summary

    Sawamura turns towards him, all smiles and laugh lines creasing the corner of his eyes. “Just enjoy the view and follow me! You're in good hands.” 

    And in good hands he is, Kazuya realizes as Sawamura guides him through the streets, showing him places from his childhood and waving at most of the people they walk by. Kazuya can't even remember the name of the people across the street from where he grew up. It is pretty here, birds and insects a lot louder than Kazuya’s ever heard them, born and raised in Tokyo like he was, and there's a certain thrill to it, like he's peeling back the curtain and catching a glimpse of something he never knew of.

    Summary

    What stood before Kazuya now was this.

    It was top of the third. Seido were leading with two runs to zero, and the current count was two and one. No outs. Kominato was at bat, Kuramochi had just stolen third, and Miyuki Kazuya was in love with Sawamura Eijun.

    The consequences all of which he would deal with later.

    It’s a summer training away game for Seido. A few months before the third years retire, weeks before the summer tournament, and mere moments before Kazuya finally does something about his feelings for his battery partner. Only, the moments keep getting away from him, and Kazuya isn’t really trying to stop them.

    As always, it’s baseball that ends up making the call for him.

    "Because all Kazuya’s fears, all his insecurities about giving a part of himself away to someone else, are futile now.

    Because he’d given it away anyway, and he doesn’t even know when, but it’s too late now and it doesn’t matter anymore."

    For all their differences in personality, usually they’re always on the same wavelength. It’s the same now, because Miyuki’s gaze slides sideways to the pale pink foliage decorating the deserted pathway as he murmurs, “Right place, wrong timing, Bakamura.”

    Summary

    Eijun wants to drop hints that he likes Miyuki before confessing. Miyuki is blissfully unaware.

    First, he must drop hints. Miyuki is pretty observant, so that shouldn’t be hard, right? Then, he must feel out Miyuki’s reactions to all of this. If Miyuki seems receptive, then he’ll go in with the final step: the actual confession. And then, Miyuki will be Eijun’s boyfriend and catch for him whenever he asks because that’s what a good boyfriend does!

    It’s a foolproof plan, really.

    The tides of the ocean bring together Miyuki and a mysterious, charming local. This man, Sawamura Eijun, shows Miyuki a different side of Okinawa through fantastical tales of the island's mythology. As Miyuki spends more time with Sawamura, he realizes that a month is not a very long time, after all.

    Now, he needs to figure out how to say goodbye.
