    Bookmarker's Notes

    Hikaru wonders what he’s supposed to be doing now —for eternity, or however long he’ll exist without Yoshiki. It’s already boring.

    Summary

    Humans are complex. Monsters are rather simple.

    What does that make you?

    “I don’t want ya to force yourself to be human,” Yoshiki says again. “So if it helps…”

    You nod, eyes wide. Your insides shiver in anticipation. Even just the prospect of it has you excited. It’s lame, it’s so lame, but you can’t be bothered to care.

    “Yeah,” you hear yourself say. “Let’s do it.”

    Or: Love can be difficult when your love is not quite human.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Hikaru doesn't have the context to describe it, Hikaru didn't have the context to describe it. And Yoshiki can't describe it, either. There aren't words for this sort of thing, Hikaru's been learning. There aren't words for things like him.

    Well, except for one. That one he learns well.

    ---

    Even in his bad dreams, Yoshiki doesn't call him Nonuki-sama, Unuki-san, uronuki, poison, baby-killer, god.

    He doesn't call him Hikaru, either. He uses a different word.

    Summary

    “If you don’t wanna talk about whatever it is that’s upsetting ya, that’s fine.” Hikaru leans back against the wall, not looking at her as he picks at his shoelaces. “But if someone rejected ya, just say the word an’ I’ll thrash ‘em.”

    This time, Asako laughs properly.

    “I beat you every time we arm wrestle,” she reminds him, but then she stops smiling. It’s easier if she doesn’t look at him. “My uh… my granny died, actually. Last week.”

    When she risks a glance at him, Hikaru is looking at her, his face caught in a soft, sad look she doesn’t want to understand. “Yeah,” he says quietly. He catches her hand, and squeezes it, slightly cold but firm and solid. “I’m sorry. That really, really sucks.”


    Or, upset over losing her granny, Asako finds comfort in an unlikely source.

    She doesn't deserve redemption, but the Train seems to think otherwise.
