Internet access is extremely limited atm because I fail at life, but I also don’t wanna skip for the last time. So sorry since this is incredibly late. 🙈🙈🙈

More from the vampire au I kinda started. 🙈🙈🙈

The problem with dating one’s best friend is that trying to hide things would be useless. This much Taiga knows, and despite having encountered many people in his very long existence, he can’t hide anything from the extraordinarily perceptive Juri.

“Something’s up,” the younger man says, and it’s not a question. Good days are hard to come by, and it’s even harder to tell when such good days will stay, or if it will actually be Juri’s last. But when Juri’s well enough to function, he can tell if Taiga is hiding something from him. “If you’re thinking about spending the rest of my days with such a miserable face, I can go home. I miss my mama anyway.”

Taiga stiffens at that, his expression turning guiltier than is even possible. “I miss her, too,” Taiga starts. “I am taking so much of your time you could spend with them—”

“Hold that thought,” Juri says. In that same moment, Juri hugs Taiga with a force that should send the other man reeling, though Taiga’s sense of balance is unaffected.

It works well for both of them, because Juri barely has the strength to hold himself up after that sudden surge of effort and energy. Taiga holds Juri steady, an odd warmth spreading through his cold body from Juri’s tight embrace.

“I do miss them,” Juri admits. “And sometimes I still feel like leaving them was selfish of me. But I want to be with you, to spend what’s left of my time where you are. I thought we’ve made peace with that?”

Taiga shifts, carrying Juri to the bed where the younger man can rest. He lays Juri on the soft sheets with supernatural ease and climbs up beside him before he speaks. “I know,” Taiga says. “I want to be with you more than anyone, really, and I’m sorry because I can’t help but worry.”

Juri hums in affirmation to prod Taiga on, his brows furrowed in concentration. “I’m just considering all avenues,” Taiga continues. “The thought of losing you is making me insane, but deliberately taking your life to turn you into someone like me is something I can’t bear. I guess I’m being selfish, too. But I want to preserve you as you are, with your pure heart.”

That’s all I can squeeze out. For the last time, it’s all yours, [livejournal.com profile] kira_shadow.
