    Summary

    "Kaoru…" Yoshiki tries to meet her eyes. "I think Yurie-chan probably was one. Queer, I mean. That's why she moved away."

    "Yeah," says Kaoru. "I think so too."

    It suddenly strikes Yoshiki that he has no clue how to broach this topic. That he's sat here, trying to sooth Kaoru like he's not been keeping the very same secret locked up for seventeen years. "Kaoru, are ya worried that… or do ya just wanna tell me that… y'think yer gay as well?"

    "I don't know," she painfully whispers.

    There's something wrong with Hikaru and Yoshiki, and Kaoru knows it. There's something wrong with her, and she's less sure of that.

    Summary

    “Waddaya wanna do?”

    “Talk.”

    ‘Hikaru’ smiles, “About what?”

    Yoshiki presses his back to the closet door, “Why're ya asking me?”

    “...‘Cause I don't really wanna talk.”

    Yoshiki, Maki, Yuuki, and Asako spend the night at 'Hikarus' house and decide seven minutes in heaven would be a fun game to pass the time. But when Yoshiki and 'Hikaru' take things too far, there's nothing left to do but feel.

    Summary

    Yoshiki can barely make out the deep red hollow of Hikaru’s voice as it falls heavy against his bare neck and sticks to his skin. It feels empty, yet starved—a hunger scraping at the edges of desperation. Yoshiki can feel that hunger as it stains his fingers, as it bleeds into his skin. He lets it consume him. Don’t let go.

    or Is it truly so monstrous to want?

    Summary

    “Sorry, Yoshiki,” Hikaru groans as tears come out of one eye and more of him comes out of the other. “Ughh, I don’t – ”

    Yoshiki can see how hard he’s trying to calm himself down, but it just isn’t working.

    “It’s ok,” Yoshiki says, quiet. “It’s ok. Instead of shovin’ it back inside completely, can you try just...lettin’ it out? Just a little bit?”

    He has no clue how any of this works, but maybe a half-measure is better than trying to force it all at once.

    “Okay,” Hikaru says, but it sounds like a sob. More of the unknowable, incomprehensible swirl leaks out into the dark room.

    “Yoshiki – shit – ‘m sorry but can I…” Hikaru’s face – what’s visible behind the bloom of him – twists in a small kind of agony. “Can I touch you? Not much. Just – ”

    It's been years since Hikaru first took the body of Yoshiki's dead best friend. Despite everything - every horror and hurt - they managed to find a home in each other. Not quite friends or family. More and not. What they have is complicated, but precious.

    But when Yoshiki escapes their small town – to college, to Tokyo – Hikaru follows. And things start to change for them both.
