🍊 moments from the past

He has lived so long without love, had even forsaken a past spent lounging in the engawa with his late father— and yet, one instance of Touko wiping away a dirt mark from his cheeks with a delicate sweep, or Shigeru ruffling his hair with a grin that was so unmistakably oozing with pride, or like this, where his precious friends openly admitted that his mere presence was enough to change their lives for the better?

It has Takashi secretly choking on a sob, his fists bunching up the fabric of his pants underneath the kotatsu.

Or: during an accidental sleepover on the New Year's Eve, over the traditional comfort of a warm kotatsu, peeled mikan, and the kōhaku playing as background noise, Tanuma, Taki, and Natsume took the chance to look back on their friendship, finding more than just gratitude in their reflection.

Summary:

Takashi has always somewhat hated sunsets.

or; why Natsume Takashi used to hate sunsets, and what changed.
