   Summary

   Something moved inside Yoshiki with startling speed. He caught Hikaru's wrist. The white-haired boy was only inches away. His features lightly flushed from the alcohol. Yes. Surely it was the liquor.
   Surely it was only the liquor both of them had consumed.
   And with a reckless intensity in his gaze, Yoshiki lowered Hikaru's hand from his lips. And for the first time in the midst of his emotional turmoil, he allowed himself to smile like a carefree child.

   He could not allow himself to think. Because if he thought about it, he would never do it. And the liquor burning in his throat felt comforting. Like an embrace from Hikaru he could never bring himself to ask for.
