    Summary

    “Kalim..?”

     

    No, that can’t be right. After all, just last week Jamil had seen Kalim’s dead body himself.

    But there was no mistaking the boy standing in front of him, his short stature, his white cardigan, and signature smile plastered on his face.

    Although, the all too familiar grin didn’t quite reach those garnet eyes.

    Jamil quickly stood up from his bed and shifted into a defensive stance, basically muscle memory with countless uses. Though now it was being deployed against the very person it was used to protect.
    “Kalim” didn’t speak, it only continued to stare at Jamil, completely still as it stood in the confines of his room until it finally opened its mouth,

    “I missed you.”

     

    OR

     

    The events leading up to Kalim's death.

    Summary

    Consumed by guilt after Jamil's Overblot, Kalim makes a desperate decision: if his dependence is what shackles Jamil, then he will stop needing him, even if it means destroying himself in the process. Jamil wanted freedom, but he never expected the price would be watching Kalim fade away, little by little.

    Summary

    The first time Jamil spots this, he thinks he's mistaken. He was imagining things, the sweltering heat had gotten to him, he just couldn't wrap his head around the idea that Kalim Al-Asim could flirt so shamelessly.

    Summary

    There are things in this world that should be constant. To Jamil, one of those things was Kalim's smile, his constant joy.

    ...Then Kalim gets the hanahaki removal surgery. And he forgets the one he loved.

    He forgets Jamil.

    And suddenly, that constant joy is nowhere to be found.
