I’m running out of time but I don’t want to skip my first round. I’m so sorry for throwing down a senseless drabble from my Todome no Kiss AU again. 🙇🙇🙇

His questions could wait until morning, but for now he holds onto Taiga like his life depends on it, feeding on the urgency in the thrum of Taiga’s heartbeat. He allows Taiga to embrace him, feeling a pull towards the other man that he can neither describe not explain. They stay this way for only the briefest period of time, but it feels eternal all the same.

He feels the brief instance of hesitation when Taiga hugs Juri, but for a moment, Taiga lets himself forget that this Juri has no memories of the time they spent together. He just soaks in Juri’s warmth, basking in the joy of seeing the younger man alive.

The niggling of regret in the back of his mind helps Taiga gather his bearings again, and he uses this to reluctantly pull away from Juri. “I just wanted to thank you for saving my life countless times, even if it cost you yours.”

Thank you for your patience. It’s your turn,
