    Summary

    Hikaru reached out to place his hand over Yoshiki’s chest and admired the wild rhythm his heart embraced.

    “Pretending to be one.” He echoed, drafting an appropriate response meant to de-escalate. Yoshiki jerked back, one fear ridden step followed by another until he was cornered against a wall.

    “Do I frighten you?” It was then that Hikaru acknowledged the shift in the air—a tang of adrenaline with the lingering scent of arousal. Yoshiki stiffened beneath his cold touch, body going impossibly taut. Confirmed. He had frightened Yoshiki.

    “You're scaring me.”

    Oh. How lovely a feeling this was.

    Summary

    "I'm disgustin' and- 'm dangerous," Hikaru continued with that tired look in his eyes. "Ya don't gotta keep pretendin' I'm not. I love ya, I really do, but yer... yer better off not gettin' too close-"

    "Mix with me."

    The words left Yoshiki's mouth without thinking, but there was no hesitation in them.

    Hikaru's eyes widened. "Wha-?"

    "Mix with me," he repeated firmly, looking him right in the eyes. "Right now."

    After Hikaru is rescued from the company's clutches, Yoshiki tries to convince him he's not gross the only way he knows how.

    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.
