   Summary

   Yushi swallows around nothing. Sion's hands on his hands. Leading him somewhere forbidden. 

   Sion glances at him. “Stop staring like that,” he says, half-warning, half-laugh.

   “I’m not,” Yushi lies through his teeth.

   or

   Yushi and Sion meet when they are six years old, and spend the rest of their shared youth crashing into each other without ever colliding.
