    Summary

    Ruggie pushed himself upright with his palms, sitting cross-legged on the uneven concrete. “Okay, let’s try this again.”

    He held out his hands to the boy, palms facing upwards, and the boy slid his own into his. Ruggie felt a tingle dance up his forearms at the contact, and he let out a snicker. “Step one, done. Now, for two—” he jabbed a finger to his own chest “—I’m Ruggie. Ruggie Bucchi. And you are?”

    The boy simply stared at him with those wide, cherry eyes for a little longer before his gaze darted away, almost shy. “I’m Kalim. Kalim al-Asim.”

     

    — aka; what if ruggie and kalim actually met when they were younger?

    Summary

    It’d started out as just a tickly throat. Ruggie assumed he’d irritated his throat after Epel got a little too overzealous during spelldrive practice, and he’d just swallowed too much dust, but when the irritation persisted after a couple days he had to accept the reality he’d caught a cold.

    Or: Ruggie develops Hanahaki Disease.

    Summary

    Ruggie doesn’t know what they are, but he feels like it’s a little more than friends. Especially considering that today when he finally took Kalim up on his offer to spend time in his dorm room and Kalim flopped onto his back with his cardigan spilling over the bed, Ruggie didn’t think twice about crawling on top of him and folding his arms over his chest.

    Ruggie and Kalim cuddle together in Kalim’s room, and Ruggie realizes he really likes when Kalim pets his ears and tail

    Summary

    "Zanka doesn't know when it began. There was a lingering feeling in the air, a faint smell of iron, like he was actively being haunted by something, someone. An unsettling feeling drooped in his stomach, hollowing him from the inside out. It had become familiar in a sort of twisted way.

    He questioned it, of course; at first, at least. But he never detected anyone following him, and nobody else understood his concerns, so he simply blamed his heightened senses from a lifetime of training. Everything on the ground could smell of iron, since there was so much trash.

    And he couldn't quite tell what it would be, if not the pollution mixed with the environment. The smell was a little dizzying at times, when it got stronger, leaving him somewhat dazed for a couple of seconds. But it happened rarely, and it was easy to ignore. Maybe the sleepless nights were catching up to him?"

    aka Zanka gets his life saved by his stalking-inclined masochistic rival, and confronting him goes awfully off the rails.
