    Summary

    Ash finally starts a new life with Eiji by his side.

    Shaking himself from the memories, Eiji sighs quietly and he slowly turns in bed. Ash’s body rearranges itself to follow Eiji and a heartbeat later, Ash willingly snuggles himself to Eiji’s chest in his sleep, his golden hair brushing Eiji’s chin.

    Carefully, Eiji’s hand briefly touches to the place where Lao stabbed Ash and he feels so anxious that his hand moves again and rests on Ash’s chest, feeling his healthy and strong heartbeat.

    He’s safe now, Eiji thinks sharply, feeling such an intense resentment at anyone who dared to hurt Ash. He’s with me, he’s safe, and no one will ever lay a hand on him again.

    Summary

    “Kaoru please tell me you know what a dating app is.”

    He could feel the heat of embarrassment beginning to rise in his cheeks. It’s not like he had been living under a rock or anything. He just hadn’t really been interested in anything to do with dating for years.

    “You, mister forefront of AI and technology are telling me that you don’t know what this is.”

    Summary

    “No, I mean all the other times.” Kaoru looks up at him, the gleam in his eyes intense. “Always. Not just with me but the kids too. You always have something ready. Why?”

    “I like cooking. I think I’m pretty good with words, but sometimes a dish made with care says more than words ever could.”

    Food is Kojiro's love language, and over ten years of their life, he has a lot to say to Kaoru.

    Summary

    “There are days where I look in the mirror and I wonder who is staring back at me and then when Im looking at myself through the eyes of him I am lost..” he breathes, "I am lost in the sea of his love. The sea of his adoration and his gaze. When it is his eyes that I see myself in the reflection of, it is not a question as to who it is. His gaze is soft and sweet, basking me in a light I never thought I could see. When he is near me, there is no doubt in my mind that..” he paused for dramatism before looking up and seeing Kojiro.

    Kaoru smiled, adjusting his posture as he put the paper to his chest. “I am sure that whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” he whispers, “I am sure that we are two halves of a whole and you cannot have one without the other. I am sure that without his light I would die as I am sure without my reflection he would die.”

    Nanjo Kojiro's life was dull before catching a glimpse of Sakurayashiki Kaoru. The leaves were brighter where the cherry-haired boy went, and that was something he wanted more of. He was drawn to him, and he gave his life vibrant colors he couldn't have seen otherwise.
