Before Reo, Nagi was like the moon. He would blend with the crowd and he only spoke when he deemed it was necessary. The world was such a pain after all, does it even deserve the effort Nagi continues to give it? Nagi's life is boring, it's dark and grey. It's painful and repetitive.
Then came Mikage Reo.
Reo was like the sun. He has beauty everyone would crave for. And like a starving man, Seishirou wants to gobble him up but Reo also wields the power to burn others. Nagi might go blind if he stares at the heir too much and his lips may be ruined if he tries to kiss a star.
[ Reo and Seishirou were born from the same cloth, made from the same nebula. They were gifted, Nagi with his brain and Reo with his name. Although, Reo liked to seek fire while Seishirou tries his best to avoid it. They were similar but at the same time, they were different. ]
Reo is perfection and Nagi was Icarus. He longed to see Reo closely. He wanted to break down the walls he has built carefully and touch the other like how lovers do. He burned Nagi everytime the genius tries to get close. They hurt each other in many ways yet can't a sinner dream? The way Reo said his name made him think everybody has been saying it wrong. He said it full of love and looked at the genius like he was the sun despite how dark his whole being is.
Seishirou was afraid of his thoughts and the thoughts behind it. His life was a tragedy but who was he to define it if he was smiling during his fall? He has fallen but for a moment, he has flew close to the sun. Icarus died without tasting the sun but Seishirou died with Reo's lips against his.
( Reo wasn't the sun. He was the ocean who greeted Icarus and embraced him dearly despite knowing what sins the man has created. )
