Wanna Dance With You ✓ (❤⛔)

Katsuki held his partner as the boy cried, his lip busted and his cheek sported a quickly forming red mark from when he'd gone to get the boy. He'd barely intervened in time and got the backlash as well.

Kariage had it much worse, nose bleeding, staining his lips and chin, and his throat had hand-shaped bruises. He hated it, the way the smoky teen was treated.

"You did so good. You're with me now, I'll keep you safe with me forever" He said.

"No, no" Kariage whispered, voice shaking.

"Yes, you did so, so good. You're so strong" The way that the trip on him tightened made his heart hurt. The amount of disbelief about his worth in his partner's near-nothing ego was heartbreaking.

"I'm getting you out of there, I'm not letting you go back" Kariage shook his head and Katsuki ran a hand through the boy's dark hair. "I am. I'll keep you here forever. You're my everything. Got it? I'm keeping you here"

Sniffles answered him. What was he supposed to do, it wasn't like his family could really keep him. Legally, the smoker's 'family' could demand he was given back.

Katsuki was sure his mother would go kill them to keep Kariage with them, but there was nothing they could do they had to legally have him removed from the house

Even if it would mean the boy could be taken away, he'd rather the Kariage be safe than hurt, and if their relationship was really keeping it from transitioning, he'd have to take the pain. Kariage was his everything, he would keep him safe. No matter what.

"I don't wanna go. Please don't let them take me. 'Tsuki please don't let them. I don't wanna leave you"

"I know baby" His heart was hurting and his eyelashes were beginning to hold salty tears. "I know"

It took a week or two, but finally, finally, Kariage was gone from that household forever. However, that meant that the teen wouldn't be in his house anymore, he wouldn't be nearby.

"'Tsuki?" The boy said while they waited in the parlor with his bags.

"Yeah?" They stood together, nearly on top of each other as Kariage clung to him.

"I have this one song stuck in my head and..."

"You wanna dance?" Katsuki whispered, pulling himself further into the teen's hold. "You wanna dance to your song?"

"Yeah. Yeah, I wanna dance"

He took a half-step back, letting then have a little space. Not much, but enough to move with.

They moved, synchronized sways as Kariage hummed the song. He heard his mother quietly weeping in the next room. They all loved him. Katsuki the most. He loved his partner more than anything in the world.

Kariage finally broke, tears slipping down as he cupped Katsuki's face. "'Tsuki, I really love you"

He couldn't respond right away, his voice coming out choked and wet when he did. "I know Kari. I love you too, more than the world"

Pulling the slightly taller teen closer, he leant in and touched their head together, foreheads touching as they simply took in each other's presence.

He was going to miss this.

"This's it?" Kariage whispered. "This's all we have left?" Katsuki almost broke at the words. His tears clung to his eyelashes, not yet falling.

"No" he responded. "No, we're much more than that. So much more. It's me an' you to the goddamned end. You an' me, yeah?"
