Quartet
Astronomical
Neku can see the stars in those violet orbs.
Baggage
They both had their issues, but Joshua hid them a little better.
Cantor
Neku was never one for religion, but when he found Josh looking over the old videos of his choirboy days, he decided then and there that there was no God. Only a Composer who was more than willing to embarrass him to get his way.
Dodecahedron
Joshua had many different facets to both his mortal and immortal beings.
Entertainment
If nothing else- except there was plenty else- Neku provided him with a good source of entertainment.
Fantasy
The time he spent in the UG, specifically during the Long Game, was the worst kind of fantasy he and everyone could've thought up.
Golden
They were like gold and platinum.
Hello
"Sorry. I just saw you and…helped myself."
"teehee. I'll watch your back and you watch mine. Sound fair, partner?"
He always found his mind drifting back to that moment, try as he might to forget.
Imaginary
In his next life, Neku thought of Joshua as an imaginary friend. He learned otherwise when he turned 14.
Joshing
Though the pun would've been great, Joshua was never one to fool- "josh around"- with Neku's feelings. Not unless he absolutely had to.
Keck
Once upon a time, Neku was disgusted by how attached Joshua had grown to him. He got used to it eventually.
Letters
Even if Joshua would never read them- though he always did when Neku was away- Neku took comfort in writing to the Composer of Shibuya.
Mindless
Kitaniji was creepy- no arguments on that. Even creepier were the reapers and Neku's friends when they were under his control. It was like they had no minds of their own.
Negligence
Whenever he neglected his duties, Neku would always pick up the slack, and for that, he supposed he could be a little grateful. Just a little.
Ocean
Neku's eyes were just that perfect shade of blue.
Promise
Unlike the God of Christianity, Joshua didn't need to create an entire rainbow to promise Neku anything. Shibuya's music was enough.
Quintessential
Joshua was the epitome of sophistication, or so he claimed.
Reverence
Maybe the thing that attracted Joshua to Neku was that the boy didn't worship him like everyone else did. That could just be because of his Atheist beliefs, but it meant more to the Composer than any hymn ever would.
Sinful
It was a love between a god and a human, and both were male. It was doubly sinful, but also pure, and oh so sweet.
Trains
Whenever the train went away from Shibuya, they both felt just a little nauseous. Joshua, being the Composer, had it worse off than Neku, so of course Neku, as the Conductor, would stay with him until it passed.
Underlying
There was a hidden truth as to why Shiki, who'd scored the lowest between herself and Neku, was the one to go back after that first week. Joshua was glad Neku never found out, but he knew he would, eventually, and it wouldn't be pretty.
Veracity
Neku had a habit of being truthful, and Joshua, being one to tell the truth only when it suited him, often found himself simultaneously annoyed and charmed by this.
Wild
They were wild and carefree, but at the same time instinctively cautious.
Xenograft
When Joshua brought Neku back from the Game, he had to give up a tiny portion of his power to do so. But he never let Neku find out- no doubt he'd have a heart attack if he knew.
Yolk
It helped baby birds survive, while the shell kept it safe and warm. In this way, Neku was the chick, and Joshua was the being to help him grow up.
Zenith
It was only when they were together that Joshua was at his best.
