    Summary

    Hanahaki, they say, is a death sentence written in petals.

    Keigo knows this, accepts it, he's been coughing up forget-me-nots for eight years.

    Blue like Dabi's flames, delicate like something meant to break you slow. The flowers are a verdict and he's guilty.

    He doesn't tell anyone, he smiles for the cameras, he signs whatever the HPSC wants and he waits.

    -

    OR: Keigo Takami is dying. He knows he deserves it.

    Summary

    “You said we’re friends.”

    In the corner of his eye he can see Stiles blink owlishly at that, a thousand hesitations flitting over his face before he settles on, “O–kay, way to hold what a guy says in the heat of the moment against him, got it.”

    No. That’s not the only time he’s said it, and they both know it. In the In-N-Out parking lot, once Derek wasn’t being poisoned by human medicine or crushed under agonizing pain, and Stiles wasn’t about to throw up all over him. A couple times since then. All the buddys and some of the big guys. Derek stares at him long enough to make sure he knows they both know.

    “…Yeah, okay,” Stiles gives in. “I guess, yeah. Seems weird if we aren’t.”

    Derek watches the screen for another moment, head too full for the movie itself but tracking the light and the movement, breathing quietly. “Then, this? All this? It’s inevitable.”

    Stiles says nothing for a moment. Maybe he’s cautious. Hopefully he’s afraid.

    Instead, he whistles in disbelief. “Wow, you are the biggest downer.”

    —

    Derek and Stiles still aren't the main characters.

    Summary

    Play with it once, and it follows you home.

    Stiles goes out on Christmas night. It's okay, he's seventeen now, and the Sheriff remembers enough about that age and the one right after it to know that sometimes these things get worse before they get better. He just tells him to be home by county curfew, puts the game on, and it's okay.

    Summary

    In which Derek has been invited to the Greater Pacific Northwest Alpha Symposium (that's not what it's called, Stiles, stop saying that), and showing up unattached would mean an arranged marriage. When the rest of the pack objects, he agrees to let Stiles come along to pose as his mate. Derek is reasonably sure that he's not going to make it out of this weekend alive.
