    Summary

    Aki licked his lips, chapped in the cold weather. They have a warm pinkness to them after he’s done, and the colour reminded Angel of a limited cotton candy ice cream he’d gotten at one of the local vendors. It wasn’t their best flavour, it’s not a surprise it didn’t maintain its stay.

    “If you were me… What would you do?”

    He’s relieved that’s the question. It’s the easiest one he’s gotten all day. All week. Maybe the easiest one he’s gotten his entire life.

    “That’s simple. I’d run and never look back.”

    Or:

    Aki Hayakawa chooses differently. Angel Devil bears in the tide.

    Summary

    Angel and Aki watched, captivated by the display. The weight of it sat heavy on the unspoken relationship that had brought them to stand together at the fence.

    The cranes made it look so easy.

    ‘I think it’s a nice idea.’ The quiet assertion escaped from behind the safety of Angel’s scarf. ‘Committing to your person, making an entire life together.’

    ‘It is.’ Aki’s problem wasn’t with mating for life as a concept.

    Summary

    When Angel reaches out, their fingers brush for just a moment. He jerks his hand away, his body filled with a strange and unnerving electricity at the contact. He blinks at the boy standing over him. His eyes have widened almost imperceptibly and Angel watches his hand clench as he pulls it away. Did he feel it too?

    Summary

    Love was something between the teeth. Intimacy was to be chewed and swallowed into digestion. To eat with a raw fury. To eat and eat until his stomach hurt, until all of Aki was inside of him. He thought that to be destroyed was what it meant to be revered, to be cherished. That when his mind and body ached with lust, it was really just hunger. That wanting Aki inside of him meant he had to bite down first.
