    Summary

    "Do you want to try feeling inside me again?" Hikaru asks, eyes bright.

    "Would I learn anything new, doing it again?" Yoshiki asks a little skeptically. He has tried it twice already, and if anything, he understands Hikaru less.

    "Probably not," Hikaru says, but he hasn't moved, and his eyes remain fixed on Yoshiki.

    Yoshiki knows that it would be colossally stupid. He's messing with things he doesn't understand, and he doesn't really need Kurebayashi's warnings to know it's dangerous for himself and those around him. He worries that with each brush against whatever lies beneath Hikaru's skin, he loses more of his humanity, that someday he'll be corrupted beyond recognition.

    And yet, a part of him wants.

    In which Yoshiki takes a break from research to try touching Hikaru again.

    Summary

    "For just a moment, ‘Hikaru’ wondered what it would feel like to let his insides out, to sink into the soft flesh and individually caress the multitude of cells teeming with warmth and vitality. It was tempting—terribly so—but ‘Hikaru’ figured he should ask Yoshiki before doing something like that. Yoshiki still got a little jittery whenever ‘Hikaru’s’ insides came out.

    As much as ‘Hikaru’ liked being inside Yoshiki, there was something just as nice about being able to hug Yoshiki from the outside."

     

    or:

    'hikaru' doesn't really understand humans or what love is supposed to look like.

    however, he knows he loves yoshiki, and he wonders if that's enough.

    Summary

    Hikaru didn't look over at him, his eyes glued to his phone. "'Asexual...' do you know that one?"

    Yoshiki tried to think. "Um... I don't think so. What's it say on there?"

    Hikaru squinted at the screen. "'A person who does not experience sexual attraction.' Huh."

    Hikaru learns that maybe some aspects of himself aren't as inhuman as he thought.

    Summary

    -AU-
    Yoshiki didn’t think much of the apartment at first. It was cheap, close to his office, and only meant to be temporary.

    The building, however, noticed him immediately.

    And so did Hikaru—the charming, clingy neighbor who makes the walls go quiet, the shadows behave, and the rules stop applying… as long as Yoshiki stays.

    Summary

    Hikaru doesn’t get it. He doesn’t get any of it.

    Some days, it feels like Yoshiki just wants as much distance between himself and Hikaru as he can get. Other days, it’s like being away from Hikaru would kill him. Hikaru can’t tell what’s gonna set Yoshiki off or not, and it’s not like looking at the memories would help. He got moody like this before, but only when Hikaru tried to talk about girls or Yoshiki leaving one day, and never for as long as he does now.

    Is he doing something wrong?

    “Hey, Yoshiki?” he calls ahead. “What d’ya reckon we should do for my birthday?”


    Or; ‘Hikaru’ celebrates his sixteenth birthday. Hikaru doesn’t.
