Summary:

They were, each of them, closest to the sky.


What possessed people to sleep in his bed? Ran and Ichikawa? And moreover, Hiromu!

Ichikawa, Sora was more annoyed than afraid of. Ichikawa wouldn't try anything that wasn't a joke. Ichikawa was infatuated with Nagase.

Ran and Hiromu, on the other hand…Given the chance (or not given the chance), they'd get out of hand. Ran didn't desire Sora, however. He did what he did to awaken Yoru from inside Sora. In the literal sense, he only cared about Sora's body (or Yoru's body, from Ran's point of view).

Still…It was traumatizing. Yoru and Ran switching out on him and Fujimori mid- or post-affection. Compromising positions that were a pain to explain.

Sora wasn't keen on the "Do-It-All" team name coming to mean he'd "do it all," especially when he'd only recently gone on his first date ever with Hiromu, and initially only under threat of spectral suicide.

He emphasized he didn't want a guy for a lover, but maybe Matsuri had a valid point. A part of him – the Yoru part – was angsty and sexually frustrated.

Crap. He'd die before he let Matsuri spread the news around.

"Well…Hiromu was cute for a ghost…" Sora thought it was safe to talk to himself since Fujimori had left the room and there was nobody but him.

He should have held off longer.

"Sora-senpai, get into bed with me!" Hiromu wriggled suggestively. Clearly, Hiromu's bolder personality wasn't confined to his two days as a ghost.

"Close your legs, dummy!" Sora forgot not to get too close. "And…Sora-kun's fine."

Were Fujimori's barbs back to haunt him?

"Did you want to? Kiss him?"

Could/would his mind fracture a second time, creating a new him exclusive to Hiromu?

There was Yoru, who protected Ran above all else.

There was Sora, who didn't know where to stand with Fujimori.

And there was the him above Hiromu. In bed.

I want to. I want to kiss him.

They were, each of them, closest to the sky.
