    Summary

    [updated a missing chapter, gomen!]

    Without a word, Sion lowers his head and presses a light kiss against Riku’s knuckles.
     
    The touch is impossibly cold.

    It lingers only for the briefest moment, yet the sensation travels through Riku like the first breath of winter slipping beneath an open door, delicate enough to raise goosebumps along his arms while leaving behind a warmth that has nothing to do with temperature.
    "I welcome you," Sion murmurs against his skin, "not as tribute, but as my honored guest."

    As Sion's lips brush lightly across his knuckles and the ropes fall away of their own accord, Riku cannot stop himself from whispering, "I never imagined that if I ever met the King of the Underworld, the first thing he would do would be to kiss my hand."
