Jingguang Says He's Done Being Human

Blurb 1:

The second before a bullet pierced his heart, Jingguang's soul flashed from the rooftop back to his time at the police academy, where he saw his four classmates alive and well.

But before he could celebrate for long, he discovered that sometimes he couldn't be human.

Sometimes he became Matsuda's sunglasses.

Sometimes he became Hagiwara's phone.

Sometimes he became Date's toothpick.

Sometimes he became... Furuya's parted bangs.

At first, Jingguang felt very uncomfortable about it.

After a while, Jingguang: ...Well, well. Your secrets are all fascinating in their own ways.

After joining the Black Organization.

Scotland's inability to be human even started affecting his fellow members of the organization.

Sometimes he became Gin's Porsche.

Sometimes he became Vermouth's wineglass.

Sometimes he became Rye's knit cap.

Sometimes he became... Bourbon's parted bangs.

At first, Scotland: Great, I can use this chance to gather information about the organization.

After a while, Scotland: ...Your love-hate relationships are dragging me into them too.

Blurb 2:

To protect their worldviews, Jingguang tried to stay perfectly still and lifeless whenever he couldn't be human. Luckily, he'd spent long enough as a sniper to have plenty of patience, until...

Hagiwara: Wait, why is my phone typing by itself, telling me to hurry up and disarm the bomb?!

Matsuda: Nobody told me my sunglasses could tap out Morse code to tell me where the next bomb is!

Date: Why did my toothpick suddenly jab my mouth until it bled while I was walking along the road?

Furuya: ...Why are my bangs moving on their own while I'm trying to decide whether to confess to Hiro?

Reading notes:

1. Zero x Jing, with Hagiwara x Matsuda as a secondary pairing (not a large part of the story).

2. The main appeal is its bizarre and unusual brand of wish fulfillment.

3. Maybe, perhaps, possibly, I'll cause some trouble for our respected Akai-sensei.

Theme: Love life.
