Author: NnyF
Rating: PG, probably
Warnings: Purposely being ambiguous (he, she, them, etc), Head canon ideas - lots of them, mostly slash things this time around – mostly Sho/Joshua.

Notes: And I dedicate a LOT of this to my Joshua~.

Disclaimer: I don't own The World Ends With You or the characters from it.

#1 – Pain – He's not sure what hurts more, the vending machine crushing his ribs into his lungs or that smirk Joshua is wearing.

#2 – Happiness – Looking back on it, his happiest day was the day he died, it's almost funny.

#3 – Ears – Joshua's surprised by the noise that comes out of the officer when he idly rubs behind the other's ear; the only thing to call it is a purr.

#4 – Sensual – Despite the amount of people Sho has slept with, only one knows him well enough to know exactly what gets him going.

#5 – Hands – When there's not a game in progress he's free to do just about anything he wants, and that's when he knows he made the right choice.

#6 – Devotion – "So…uh…you wanna…be more that just a hook up?"

#7 – Forever – Life is temporary but being is a Reaper is forever; his choice is easy.

#8 – Moon – The thing likes the most after the Game is seeing the moon again.

#9 – Walking – After the first few days the convenience that everything is Shibuya is in walking distance becomes a pain in the ass.

#10 - Waste/Wasteland – The Taboo noise run wild and Shibuya becomes a wasteland, but it's a wasteland he rules.

#11 - Whiskey and rum – "You've never opened up like this about your past before, you okay?" "Yeah, I'm just...totally wasted."

#12 – Blessing – "Just be good to him, you hear?" "Can I consider that your blessing, H?"

#13 – Balloon – He sucks as much helium as he can before he passes the deflating balloon, feeling a bit lightheaded and very ridiculous.

#14 – Balcony – He's surprised when Kariya yanks him away from the railing on the small balcony, but it all makes sense when the laid-back Harrier explains how he died.

#15 – Jester – "I'm just kidding!" The other's hurt expression makes it clear his joke wasn't funny.

#16 – Soliloquy – Sho smirks, now knowing Joshua's weakness, "To be, or not to be--that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer…"

#17 - Virtuous – He's never been a virtuous person, and he's sure Erasing people won't help his morals at all.

#18 – Cover – Sho knows not to judge a book by its cover; Joshua is not as sweet and innocent as he looks.

#19 – Dream – "Ah, Sho-kun, shall we play a game?" Sho stares at his phone and wonders if he's fully awake, or if he's still sleeping.

#20 – Journey – He knows the risks of traveling between parallel worlds but the possibility of getting stuck doesn't deter him from making a trip.

#21 – Dance – Joshua giggles as he pulls Sho out onto the dance floor, it's obvious the mathematician he never been dancing before.

#22 – Body – He tenses as that pale, almost white, hair just barely brushes his stomach.

#23 – Sacred – He pauses as the entrance to the River, feeling uncomfortable for a moment about stepping on holy ground when he's so clearly tainted.

#24 – World – Shibuya is just the beginning; Sho has a plan on expanding his power worldwide.

#25 – Forever – He'll be working forever to pay off the ring, but the look on his lover's face it worth it.

#26 – Overwhelmed – Between the complexity of the mission, the timer ticking down, the walls in the way, and his partner arguing with him, Sho feels like his head is going to explode.

#27 – Talk – The time for talk is over, he has to act now if he ever wants to overthrow Joshua.

#28 – Search – He knows he's dying, and the only thing he can do is search his memory for where he miscalculated.

#29 – Gravity – There's that blissful thrilling second of weightlessness before gravity finally kicks in.

#30 – Air – It's the same city, just a different level, the air just seems so much…purer in the UG

#31 – Doors – Life, and death, have presented Sho lots of open doors, but there's only one he's interested in, and he'll force it open it he has to.

#32 – Grave – He never thought his own artwork would become his grave.

#33 – Hollow – He knows something is missing when he wakes up; he feels…empty…

#34 – Honor – Being promoted was originally a matter of honor, now it's solely for the power.

#35 – Light – There's a bright light when he opens his eyes, expecting to finally be Erased, gone; but instead he wakes up in a hospital bed, confused.

#36 – New – "I love you, Sho-kun." Well, that was new and unexpected.

#37 – Peace – He believes peace is possible, but he has to use some violence to attain it.

#38 – Rain – His clothes stick to his skin and his hair sticks to his face, water dripping onto the floor; Joshua doesn't seem to mind.

#39 – Winter – It's his least favorite season, but the sting of a winter wind is a nice change to the usual heat.

#40 – Motion – In the blink of an eye, he's across the area with a smirk. "You're outta your vector."

#41 – Cool – He was never cool in school, but he always wanted to be; it might explain why he was so eager to become friends with someone like Kariya.

#42 – Thousand – The UG is extremely noisy, thousands of voices all at once of the Reapers, the Players, the Noise, and a few far reaching sounds of the RG; he quickly learns how to block it all out.

#43 – Hold – The only thing he wants to do is hold him by the throat and watch the life leave his eyes.

#44 – Shadow – They were each smart in their own ways, but he had to admit Konishi's trick of hiding in the shadow of Daisukenojo was very clever.

#45 – Never – "You know, the position of Conductor will be open." "I'd never accept such an offer from you!" "Hee hee, alright then."

#46 – Stop – Time seemed to stop just before Joshua pressed the last digit on his phone, and Sho realized he had miscalculated.

#47 – Time – "We don't have time to think!" He yells as he pulls his partner toward Molco.

#48 – History – Even if history were doomed to repeat itself history has to be made first, and a Taboo Shibuya would certainly make history.

#49 – Wall – "Want past this wall?" He loved seeing the Player's reactions.

#50 – Precious – He doesn't think he has anything really that precious until he wakes up in the Scramble and he just can't remember...
