Why this must be read:

Paul doesn't get much attention in fanfic; probably because he's older and not as dorky-angsty as the rest of the cast. This is an interesting look at Paul and Ban's first few encounters, especially given certain spoilery events that take place late in the manga. Knowing something about Paul's history probably helps understand this story, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary.

"Gimme a coffee and the biggest thing I can get with whatever's left," he said, and pushed the money across the bar to Paul.

Paul took it, and began to count it slowly, looking at the boy more than the cash. Dark hair, blue eyes, same fucking grin, even - his son? He briefly wondered if Midou sent this kid as some sort of mind game. He wouldn't have put it past an expert of illusions.

The boy took the staring as some sort of challenge, and glared back through his purple lenses.
