Summary
After moving to Tokyo together over a year ago, 'Hikaru' and Yoshiki are finally settling into their new life together. With Yoshiki in college and 'Hikaru' working, both of them are growing and learning rapidly as the city wraps around them. But the things they were taught in their small-minded hometown aren't easily forgotten. There are important words and feelings unspoken between them, yet neither is willing to risk breaking the fragile bond they each cherish. The risk is too high.
And so, they try to live as humans are meant to, attempting to keep the lid on Pandora's box closed just a little bit longer.
But one day, exactly one week before the cherry blossom trees are set to bloom, 'Hikaru' comes across a tiny book of poetry hiding on the lowest shelf in a bookstore. It's cover is blood red and gives him a strange sense of unease.
'If I read this, I think it will change me...' He thinks, but he doesn't know why.
In spite of that subconscious warning, he picks up the book and takes it home, underestimating the upheaval it will cause.
The first chapter of this is a rewrite of the original fic by the same name. All poems used in this fic are my own.
