    Summary

    Five minutes ago Hikaru was flipping through a magazine, stretched out on Yoshiki's bed while Yoshiki sat on the floor watching something on his phone. A normal afternoon - right up until Yoshiki turned around, frowning in that way he does when he has a question he's not sure he'll like the answer to. Yoshiki gives Hikaru that kind of look a lot, these days.

    "Where do things go when you put 'em inside you? Impurities and stuff?"

    And Hikaru shrugged, and said, "I dunno. If you really wanted to find out I guess you'd have to look for yourself."

    Summary

    There, sitting on one of the corners, was his Hikaru, his undressed back facing Yoshiki. Then— slowly, as if every movement caused him unimaginable pain, he twisted his body until he was able to look at him with a crooked smile. Yoshiki’s breath hitched in his throat, at long last allowing a broken whimper to leave the opening of his mouth.

    "Yoshiki”, Hikaru’s rough voice blossomed, uncertain. His left iris trembled to allow the escape of more iridescent tendrils, further desfiguring himself and making his half-naked figure appear much, much smaller. “You’re here.”


    One month had passed and they hadn’t talked about it. Or, well, perhaps it was better to say that Hikaru kept trying to mention their fateful Valentine’s Day, and Yoshiki kept evading the subject. Before they could even begin to sew their cracks, Hikaru is taken away.

    Yoshiki struggles with how to define what they are. Hikaru thinks they don’t need to. Together, they mend one another with patience, care and lacquer powdered with gold.

    Summary

    Hikaru doesn’t get it. He doesn’t get any of it.

    Some days, it feels like Yoshiki just wants as much distance between himself and Hikaru as he can get. Other days, it’s like being away from Hikaru would kill him. Hikaru can’t tell what’s gonna set Yoshiki off or not, and it’s not like looking at the memories would help. He got moody like this before, but only when Hikaru tried to talk about girls or Yoshiki leaving one day, and never for as long as he does now.

    Is he doing something wrong?

    “Hey, Yoshiki?” he calls ahead. “What d’ya reckon we should do for my birthday?”


    Or; ‘Hikaru’ celebrates his sixteenth birthday. Hikaru doesn’t.

    you know what you wanted yet you expected him to return home drenched and shivering. you expected it, and you expected to scold him for disobeying, for putting himself in danger, for any reason you can find to make a leashed beast of the fear gnawing at and rattling your bones.

    but you didn't expect him to return so cold.

    Summary

    "Do you want to try feeling inside me again?" Hikaru asks, eyes bright.

    "Would I learn anything new, doing it again?" Yoshiki asks a little skeptically. He has tried it twice already, and if anything, he understands Hikaru less.

    "Probably not," Hikaru says, but he hasn't moved, and his eyes remain fixed on Yoshiki.

    Yoshiki knows that it would be colossally stupid. He's messing with things he doesn't understand, and he doesn't really need Kurebayashi's warnings to know it's dangerous for himself and those around him. He worries that with each brush against whatever lies beneath Hikaru's skin, he loses more of his humanity, that someday he'll be corrupted beyond recognition.

    And yet, a part of him wants.

    In which Yoshiki takes a break from research to try touching Hikaru again.

    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.

    Summary

    'The passion caused by the great and sublime in nature, when those causes operate most powerfully, is astonishment; and astonishment is that state of the soul, in which all its motions are suspended, with some degree of horror… A mode of terror or pain is always the cause of the sublime.'

    Or, -

     

    "If I come out," Hikaru says, "all the way, you promise you won't be scared of me?"

    Summary

    Hikaru blinked. A red glow gathered in his pupils as Yoshiki's soul came into focus. So bright. So pretty. Hikaru was sure, Yoshiki's soul was the prettiest thing he'd ever seen. He always felt drawn to it. Just being near it made the endless void of his insides feel a bit warmer. Without thinking, he sat up and crawled towards that warmth he always craved. He was kneeling by Yoshiki's bed, arms resting on the edge, before he realized what he was doing.

    Can't do that to him, he thought.

    Summary

    (SPOILERS FOR THE MANGA)

    Yoshiki kept his head down and stared at his clasped hands, struggling to stay present. The 5:30 morning train to the prefecture’s capital had been the earliest one they could find.

    “Hey,” Hikaru whispered from beside him, “you think this plan will work?”

    Yoshiki frowned, pressing down on his knuckles with his fingers. Despite wearing a long sleeved shirt, his newest gnarly scar was clearly visible on his hand, covering most of it. He still couldn't get used to it. “If it doesn’t, we’re both as good as dead, so…”

    -----

    When the mysterious company makes a move against Hikaru, he and Yoshiki are forced to flee Kubitachi, becoming a part of a plan that isn't even their own. Blindly putting their trust in Tanaka and accepting his help, the two run off to Tokyo. Things don't go how they expected. Both boys are forced to survive in an unknown environment as Hikaru is being hunted, keeping secrets from each other (and themselves) while struggling with inner turmoil.

    Underneath it all, what keeps them going is their quest for acceptance and understanding.

    Summary

    “I was just wondering. Why is it that only girls can give stuff during Valentine’s Day?”

    “It’s the way it’s always been”, Yoshiki quietly replied, his calmness betraying the way his fingers gripped the mechanical pen.

    “What about you?”, he kept going, his inherited impatience from Hikaru shining through as his body stood up and hurried towards Yoshiki. Unphased by the widened expression looking up at him, Hikaru dropped the thin papers on top of their homework, pointing at the pretty red and pink heart-shaped chocolate boxes. “Would ya’ like it? If someone gave you something like this? Do ya’ want this kinda’ romance too?”

    or,

    Hikaru thinks about Valentine’s Day. Burdened by Yoshiki’s impenetrable sorrow, he sets out on a mission to give him a date to remember — no matter that it was the middle of June.

    Summary

    The radio blares to life when the car first starts, a too-cheerful song playing too loud, before Kurebayashi fumbles it off. After that she doesn't try to turn it back on, or start a conversation. All they have to accompany them is the motion of the car bumping along the road, the flash of streetlights throwing shadows across their faces - and Hikaru, who wants to shrivel up and die.

    Summary

    Body, eyes, hands, teeth.

    Or,

    “What? I dunno, I’ll just…” Yoshiki lifts his arm and bends it and is surprised to find how much it hurts. “Shit- wait…”

    Hikaru watches him struggle to even touch the top of his head, then lights up and suggests, “Hey, why don’t I do it?”

    “Do what?” Yoshiki mumbles, still preoccupied with figuring out the best way to go about showering.

    “Wash your hair.”

    Yoshiki keeps fidgeting with his hair for a second before he actually hears Hikaru, at which point he lowers his hands and turns around agonizingly slowly, like a rusted hinge that screeches when moved. “…What?"

    Summary

    Yoshiki knew how to deal with sea urchins. It was usually pretty easy but... “We didn’t bring any vinegar.”

    “Then what now? It feels all weird and tingly.”

    Yoshiki remembered the story his Dad told him when he was younger. His mom didn’t like it because it was gross, but when push comes to shove, there was no other option.

    “Close your eyes.” Yoshiki demanded.

    “Huh?”

    “Just close your damn eyes!”

    'Hikaru' insists on a beach trip where they actually plan to do things like fish, swim, and barbecue. Yoshiki's emotions are in turmoil, they take over him entirely, so plans go completely off the mark.

    Summary

    What if Hawke was actually a mage from Tevinter? And what if he was framed for something he didn't do, and now the Archon himself wanted Hawke dead? And what exactly would all of this mean when Fenris inevitably finds out about Hawke's true origins? Well, this fanfic is an answer to all those questions.

    Part 2 of an eventual 4? part series (This is the only one with more than 1 chapter finished right now. I am currently working on the others.) I'm still debating on if I want to make an Origins one. (DISCLAIMER: Each of these feature non-canon PCs and large alterations to some of the storyline.)

    Inspo for title (love this song, I think it very much relates to the relationship between OCHawke and Fenris in this fic) "That Unwanted Animal" by The Amazing Devil
