i wanted to participate in inuokko week fully, writing few thousands-words-long fics, but i can't, because i'm preoccupied with my masters thesis and last week of may will be tough, let me tell you, but i couldn't really pass on the opportunity and write nothing, so here... a short ficlet (?) for day one.

more on the inuokko week 2021: x, it is held on twt (but i don't have account there, so i am posting here, lol), you can find prompts for each day there.

i will probably take prompts only from tier one, it speaks to me more, lol, i love them canon <3 but we will see.

enjoy?

inuokko week 2021 | day 1, tier 1 | reunion

"the way i love you"

sail to me, sail to me,

let me enfold you,

yuuta loves toge's eyes; specks of gold swirling inside, catching light at the corner of his purple irises, so attentive and bright.

(he may get lost in them too often.)

so warm and welcoming. always, like he was waiting, tirelessly. hoping. for yuuta's quick return, their fingers intertwined, bodies pressed close, in tight embrace. together again.

the feel of heated skin, so soft, against his own, small hand rubbing at his back, up and down; like he's the one in need of comfort, him, not toge.

apparently, it's more than yuuta can take. without letting the tears, already gathering up on his lashes, to spill out; a choked up sob.

whispers of "i'm sorry"'s, his lips inching closer to toge's neck, pampering boy's skin with fluttering kisses; the string of incoherent "i love you"'s muttered, over and over again.

"i'm here", is said to reassure, as toge starts to tremble in his arms, sniffling quietly.

he should know; there is a certain amount of things that toge could take, on his own, before he breaks, too.

(and maybe yuuta's just grateful, he can be next to him, right now.)

"i'm here to stay", is said like a prayer. because, it's what he wishes for, it really is.

"you just need to wait a little longer", is a lot to ask, but he has things to do, people to save, to heal. people that need to be put together again.

"i will do everything i can, so you will get your arm back", is a promise, sealed with a kiss, short and quick. just a peck, lips tingling. the time is nagging, his arms retiring from its place, wrapped securely around toge. the place it should always be, the place he should always stay.

their reunion, one may say: sweet and loving, but short-lived. emotions raw and on display. bared.

(maybe that's the life they've chosen)

(partings and reunions)

(an endless circle)

"i will leave no stones unturned"

a pause; there's a flicker of gold that distracts him, flicker of gold that reminds him...

"that's the way i love you"

"shake", ok, just don't take too long.

here i am, here i am,

waiting to hold you, |x|

as i said, it's short and kinda angsty, because they reunited, only to be parted again, but i hope you liked it. it's canon based, as it is my own interpreation of their reunion, which we still didn't get to see in manga... gege, you're on thin ice.

ps. i really really hope that toge is ok, or that his arm would be restored somehow, so this is what i wrote.

ps2. probably will post this on ao3 later, when the week is over, in a new fic, i will make specially for these inuokko's week ficlets.
