    Summary

    Previously named Instinct Reclaimed

     

    Tendou Satori has been in love with Ushijima Wakatoshi for nearly two years. It’s quiet and awful, like watching a candle burn from across the room and knowing you’ll never get close enough to feel its warmth. He’s never said anything—never dared to. Because Ushijima is… Ushijima. Stoic. Beautiful. Possibly heterosexual. And Tendou? Tendou’s weird. Lizard-like. Too much, too loud, too wrong.

    So he writes letters he’ll never send and says things in his head he’ll never say aloud.

    And Ushijima?
    He listens.
    He watches.
    And slowly—terrifyingly—he begins to feel something he’s never felt before.

    It’s a long road from silence to confession.
    But maybe, just maybe, they’ll find each other at the end of it.

    Marked mature for swearing.
