After Picking Up Verlaine, I Became My Own Stand-In

[Updates promptly at 6 p.m. every day. At other times, the author is fixing typos.] [Recommending my next book, Everyone Reborn Except the Arahabaki] Randou spent four dazed years in Yokohama, until he unexpectedly found an injured Frenchman with golden hair. The moment he saw him, his senses returned. His hollow heart began to beat again, and the whole world looked different to Randou. Clutching his beating heart, Randou credited it all to the power of love! He'd fallen in love at first sight with this stranger! Weary of everything around him, Verlaine was gravely wounded on a mission. When he opened his eyes again, he was greeted by a confession from someone close to him. Verlaine lowered his eyes and idly traced a blood-red petal. "Is this the script I need to play out for the next mission, Rimbaud?" "...Rim-baud? Who's that?" And in the end, Randou slowly told the children around him the story of his romance with Verlaine: "It all started four years ago. Paul and I had a disagreement and got into a huge fight. To convince him, I attacked Chuuya and read his memories, and then the explosion happened..." "I know, Mr. Randou," said the orange-haired, blue-eyed child sympathetically. "That explosion blasted you into a love-struck idiot." Content warnings: 1. This story features Verlaine and Rimbaud as a couple, with no fixed top or bottom. They are not switching. (Their personalities make it hard for me to decide who's top and who's bottom.) 2. The point of view alternates between Verlaine and Rimbaud. They are both protagonists. 3. Verlaine and Randou are both chaotic evil. The author will try to nudge their personalities toward chaotic good. 4. Later on, there will be a chaotic love triangle involving both Rimbauds returning to the past, with plenty of melodrama. 5. Randou is deeply love-struck. He gets jealous of himself, sabotages himself, and berates himself! Don't read if that bothers you. Theme: Stay optimistic and cheerful
