[K / Return of Kings] A World Only You and I Know

Kusuhara Go wakes up in a hospital bed. The memory of a bullet piercing his head feels like a distant nightmare. He thinks the people before him are angels. But their touch is warm and real, and that convinces him they are real... - - - On the surface, this is a story about two people fated to meet in their dreams. From another angle, it's a sad story about Board Boy looking for friends twice, only to be rejected both times, even after making two deeply moving confessions. _ _ _ *Set partly in the original canon, with a serious tone and some creative liberties. Some of the setting comes from official sources, but the story's take on the Slates goes completely off the rails and is not canon. *The pairing is Munakata Reisi X Kusuhara Go. *Kusuhara Go is the male lead on the surface in K: Side Blue, one of the K novels. He is the unlucky kid who perfectly embodies what it means when the author decides you have to die: even though you look like the main character, you still get killed off in a single sentence. *The story begins after Kusuhara takes a bullet for Munakata in the Side Blue novel. I wanted to write some everyday scenes, so this story strictly follows the three-episode rule. To keep the word count down, the plot may jump around a bit. The background is set from the end of K's first season through all of the second season. Basically, it's a story about a more logically coherent version of the battle to seize the Slates, with the characters staying more or less in character. Theme:
