Why this must be read:

WHAT. WHAT. I could have sworn this fic had been recced here before, and when I realized it wasn't (after checking like seven times), knew it was a state of affairs that had to be rectified! Even though I still have to find a person in this fandom who hasn't read this and loved it.

This is a fic that is absolutely my number one favourite fic in all Hikago fandom, ever. It's one of the first ones I read and after that I've periodically gone back to re-read - and it's just as wonderful then as it was the first time I read it. I could have recced any other fic by this author as well, but this one has a special place in my heart ♥ This, this is how Hikaru and Touya are, and why they make me glow with love for them, and why their eternal rivalry pwns all my other OTPs.

“Only I’m not gay so it’s not like that,” he ends awkwardly.

Waya is trying to be gentle, Hikaru can tell, the way you might with a mental patient. “But Touya thinks you are.”

“No. Maybe. He might.”

“Because you can’t stop touching him.”

“But only accidentally!”

“Accidentally all the time.”

“But not like that!”

“Except that he thinks it’s like that.”

“Yes!” says Hikaru triumphantly, relieved to be understood at last.

“Well,” says Waya reflectively, “forgive me for making assumptions, but if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck—”
