Summary
Yusuke had spent his days in sheltered isolation before his prince's intervention changed everything. His new life, after claiming his noble lineage and all the expectations that come with it, is at times difficult to adjust to, but one thing he is certain of: his devotion to his king and savior. Complete and unquestioning, it defines his every breath.
In moments of weakness, it colors his nighttime thoughts as well.

Summary
After breaking out of Maruki's actualization, Yusuke is having a hard time getting over the guilt of submitting to it in the first place, the perceived betrayal setting off doubts and insecurities about his relationship with Akira.
Akira has to think of some... creative approaches to put a stop to his boyfriend's self-blame spiral.Akira takes a deep, considering breath.
“...In that case, I have an idea. If you need me to be angry to let go of this... I can do that. If that’s what it takes for you to face your fear – I’ll become it. You keep waiting for the other shoe to drop; I’m going to throw it at you.
“...But,” he intertwines his fingers with Yusuke’s, squeezing the hand he’s been holding, “then you’ll have to catch it.”

Summary
“Be quiet, Kurusu,” Goro interrupts languidly. He won’t allow Yusuke to look at Akira, but for himself he gets a clear view over Yusuke’s shoulder, and Akira’s heartbroken expression is its own high. “Yusuke’s made his decision,” Goro rolls the words on his tongue like a delicacy. “You’ve already lost.”

Summary
…Yusuke dreams he’s back in the Palace again. Back in his chains, or maybe they’re the other Yusuke’s vines now. Either way, they strangle his every movement, every breath; and no matter how hard he pulls on them, they refuse to let him go. They’re like weeds, rooted in the ground beneath his kneeling form, the kind of weeds that can’t be eradicated. Still, Yusuke keeps trying, keeps trying, keeps trying—
Escape, and early healing pains.
