i love you.
yoshida, soaked from the rain, doesnt say anything. the silence is suffocating, he wants to speak but the ever growing lump in his throat is stopping him. denji stares at him from the other side of the door, confused by the sudden visit.
the air is heavy and yoshida finally speaks. his voice is quiet, pained.
“i want you to be human, denji.”
denji, still confused, protests. he doesnt hear him over the sound of his own heartbeat, and the patter of the rain beating against him.
“take my heart.”
its already full of you.
the words come out before he can think, and suddenly he feels like theres a dam inside him about to burst, and his legs are going to give out. his feelings hurt. theyre wrong, theyre ugly and theyre impossible to handle. he doesnt know what else to do.
“i dont-”
he trips and stumbles over his words, his cool and collected facade falling apart at the seams. he cant make eye contact, hes hunched over, he cant take it.
“i- take it, live as a human.”
he pleads, almost. its a desperate cry from the core of his very being. he chokes, his chest growing tighter as denji’s silence becomes unbearable.
“ please. ”
his voice breaks, letting himself be vulnerable. its an unusual thing for yoshida, yet he cant help it.
“ its yours,”
