A series of bits and pieces revolving around Neku and Joshua.

A. Animals

In a universe where they were all animals, Neku supposes they'd be a cat and a dog. The problem? He can never figure out who'd be who.

B. Beautiful

Joshua never would've pegged his dear, dear, proxy as the insecure type.

But he's more than happy to reassure him several times an hour as long as he can see that smile.

C. Conductor

After the bet with Megumi, he needed a new one, but he was positive the person he wanted would never be willing.

So he is totally caught off guard by Neku's instant acceptance of his new role.

D. Dreams

Joshua always wonders what Neku dreams of, and often peeks into his mind to find out.

Neku wishes it worked both ways.

E. Ethereal

Sometimes, Neku felt like Joshua could just disappear at any moment.

F. Friendly Fire

When he felt the bullet pierce his heart, he found it didn't hurt as much as the betrayal.

When he woke up, he found that neither of those hurt as much as the thought of possibly never seeing him again.

G. Garden

Like he said, everyone had their own little garden. Neku's was smaller than most, but bigger than it had been 3 weeks ago, and he didn't mind sharing his harvest with the Composer.

It seemed they both needed it, anyhow.

H. Healing

Three months later, he's still trying to get over the events of the Long Game.

It really doesn't help that he can hear Joshua everywhere he goes, even when he's not there.

Ice Cream

Joshua loves the frozen treat-or at least, in this form, he does- and he never thought he'd say this, but sharing a cone with his partner, proxy, and Conductor all in one makes the cone taste even better.

J. Jealous

That lady at Sunshine just WON'T STOP FLIRTING with him and he's so, SO tempted to just Erase her right there! But then, he feels Neku squeeze his hand, and suddenly, everything is perfectly fine.

K. King

On that chessboard, Joshua is the king. And at this point, he honestly can't decide if Neku's a pawn or a queen.

L. Levitation

He supposed it shouldn't have surprised him. Joshua never seemed quite human.

But he's still really shocked that Josh can freaking levitate while attacking.

M. Mural

That mural in Udegawa held so many precious memories for the both of them.

N. Natural-Puppy

Neku didn't care how good all those girly cutesy pins looked on him. It was still embarrassing to be caught wearing them, especially since Josh, having talked him into it, wasn't wearing any himself.

O. Originality

He had to give him points for that. No other Composer would kill his proxy twice and then offer them a spot as the guy to keep them in line.

P. Pet names

Neku didn't mind most of the pet names his friends had come up with for him, but this one?

It had to go.

"Damn it, stop calling me Nekky!"

Q. Questions

Neku had so many questions for Joshua after the Game ended.

They all boiled down to a simple "why?", but when opportunity came, he couldn't find it in him to just ask.

R. Restless

In the Game, they never actually got any sleep, but functioned just fine.

So it takes him quite some time to adjust to a normal sleeping schedule.

S. Silk

They both have interesting hair, but where Neku's is just as stiff and spiky as it looks, Josh has hair soft as silk.

T. Time limit

Neku never worked well under pressure, and the Game only made it worse. Thankfully, Josh was there to help him.

U. Universe

If Josh were being honest, he'd say that Neku had enough Imagination to create an entire alternate universe.

V. Versed

As the Composer, it was almost expected that he'd be well-versed in a few different languages.

But he's pretty sure it's NOT because his proxy needed help catching up in English-never mind the fact that it was HIS fault Neku had gotten so far behind.

W. Wakefulness

Everything had seemed so much like a dream, that at first, Neku couldn't comprehend that Josh was right in front of him, in the Real Ground.

X. X-istence

It was like the last 3 weeks never happened. But then, Neku supposed it made sense. If he were suddenly erased from existence and then brought back, people would be freaked out.

Y. Yes

That one word, uttered from his lovers lips, made him the happiest being to ever grace the Real Ground, many times over.

Z. Zetta

Minamimoto was really annoying on and off the battlefield, and for once, that was something they could both agree on.
