    Summary

    It hurts to breathe. He thinks his skin is rejecting his soul or something similar in words, something poetic and kind, something to soothe himself. In reality, his lip is split and his shoulder is bruised and his skin there is torn from the rifle recoil, his bones feel like they're shattering.

    Aoyagi Touya is alone. And now, he always will be.

    A simple mistake.

    Summary

    They’re sitting at his dinner table, and Toya is trying to explain Akito’s trigonometry review to him to no avail. He’s saying something about angles, but Akito can only think about the way his silver eyes are lit up and the way his voice rises and falls as he speaks and the way his impossibly soft-looking lips curl into a frown as he realizes Akito isn’t listening to him at all. Toya sets the pencil down and tilts his head. “Did you hear anything I said?”

    “I—no, not really.”

    “What were you thinking about, then?”

    You. “Um, practicing,” he lies, trying to ignore how stupid he feels saying it. “You know.”

    4 times akito can’t quite say what’s on his mind and 1 time he doesn’t have to

    Summary

    "Is... something wrong?"

    Touya seems mildly apologetic, for his part. Guilt's one of his easier emotions to read.

    Akito scratches at his neck, mouth pulled into a frown. "There's no way you can go on stage looking like that."

    Summary

    A few months ago, if a classmate had asked Akito what his weekend plans were, his answer would've been simple, predictable to anyone who knew him.

    His answer isn't much different now, but Toya's curled up against him, sleeping soundly and as stupidly beautiful as ever, and that's the most important change in the world.

    Summary

    Day 2 (Plushies) and Day 3 (Past)

    Akito stops a few meters from the main road and turns to him. The strings of his hoodie whip around with sudden motion, orange hair haloed by the light leaking into the dark side street. "Hey, Toya," he says, then pauses, his eyes jerking away. His lips twist oddly a few times, and he shoves his hands in his pockets. "D'you—?" He clears his throat, voice lower. "What're you doin'? After this?"

    Toya blinks. His mind stutters over the answer he's used to giving, reminded half a beat late his nights aren't spent on classical music anymore. His empty schedule stretches out endlessly into the night, a familiar song suddenly stopped midway through, and he still reels from it all these weeks later.

    "I'm not sure," he answers slowly.

    "Then you wanna walk around a bit before you head home? Stop anywhere that looks interestin'?"

    -

    Toya hangs out with Akito for the first time.
