[ he lets out a breath, and his hands move to cup both sides of senri's face. his fingers trace from his cheek and slowly, slowly, to his lips, before he leans in to press their foreheads together.

his heart is so full, he feels like he's about to burst from this overwhelming surge of emotion. ]

Then I'm going to be with you. Forever.

[ it sounds like such a long time, especially in the realm of immortal gods. but it doesn't seem long enough right now. ]

[forever.

senri melts under the attention, and the affection. and he thinks about how much he hates that he was crying before this, because he's sure without question that his face must still be gross but - taka doesn't seem to mind. taka still cares for him, and senri breathes out a small shudder as he reaches up to hold tightly onto taka's wrists.

he meets his gaze and hums softly, but certainly.]

.... I believe in forever with you.

It'll be the first happy ending I put my faith in.

It won't be an ending.

[ he readjusts senri's hold, so that they're holding hands instead. ]

Isn't that what forever means, my dumb rabbit?

[ he brings senri's hand closer so he can press a kiss to it. ]

[he's.

so... cute.

and senri's heart does a little flip in his chest at the kiss to his hand, and he melts into the affection. his fingers adjust so that they can interlace with taka's instead, holding his hands close a little bit more away from his face until he can lean in and press their lips together instead, soft and sweet.]

A happy life together then.

You and me, my stupid lion.

[ he kisses him back, and he's certain that his heart is going to beat out of his chest.

later today, they're going to part ways as takaomi goes to investigate during curfew, and senri stays behind with sasuke. and taka will leave him with a heaviness in his chest, because there's nothing quite as painful as walking away on thursday.

but, right now-- ]

You and me.

I...

[every week, it takes every last inch of senri's self-control to not ask taka to stay. to refrain from holding onto his hand, and convincing him to stay with him instead of go out somewhere dangerous. this week is different - if only a little. he'll be with ray, and ishikirimaru, and senri will just have to hold onto the hope that when morning comes, there'll still be a hand for him to hold onto.

just one night.

it's just one night.

senri kisses him again.]

.... me too.

[words are hard for taka, aren't they? so senri will hope that he's guessing correctly and - ]

Whatever you're feeling - I feel it too.

[ god, he never wants to let him go.

taka goes for another kiss, gentle, and he doesn't pull back when he talks again. ]

I know. Me too.

[ and then he does pull back, just so he can properly look at senri. ]

I'll only ever feel like this for you.

[ he's realized by now that what he felt for fortune was something more than friendship. he even tried to admit it in a letter, but scribbled it out in his cowardice. but-- this strong emotion that overwhelms him when he looks at senri? there's only one person for it. ]

[senri laughs at first - almost as if he's wondering if taka is just trying to make him feel better after everything with love, but. it still manages to make his heart melt into something unfathomably fond. he's pretty sure that he's gone completely stupid for this boy.

and he nods, humming his soft agreement as he holds taka's hands in his, meets his gaze evenly]

... you're endgame for me.

[he'll say it again, just as certainly as he did the first time.]

For me, it'll always be you.

[it's because senri's aware of his emotions that he knows that here, his heart's flipped traitorously for a few people - beauty, sasuke - but he knows just as well that they're impossible. that they're people who aren't meant for him. some dreams are just dreams, and some hopes aren't meant to come true.

he doesn't need a fairytale to fall for the boy in front of him.

it's just a beautiful reality he never thought that he'd get to have.]

[ he never wants this moment to end.

and it won't. because they'll have so many moments after this. and they'll fight, because he knows their personalities and they disagree on way too much to not get frustrated with each other. and he knows that he'll still feel uncertain, when he thinks about beauty or zoe or how senri always seems to attract this sort of attention towards him by just smiling and being himself

but

the fear isn't as strong as it was before. it ebbs in him, but he can walk past it without focusing too hard on it because in the end, senri is here with him. ]

Thank you.
