TW:

I don't think it needs any; it's just super angsty.

It's dramatic, really, the setting they've gotten themselves into.

Rain sticks to their skin like wet paint, sliding down both of their cheeks as they stand nearly toe to toe.

It's immeasurable– their feelings for one another.

Satoru's eyes glisten under the street lights.

Suguru's eyelids flutter open and closed again as he avoids eye contact with his one and only.

"You left," The words are barely audible over the rainfall as Satoru studies Suguru's face,

"Without me."

"You would've stopped me," Suguru tells him back, not bothering to whisper as he finally opens his eyes to meet Satoru's soft gaze.

It's unfair , Suguru decides as his heart clenches desperately inside of him,

How Satoru can stand there and still look at me like...like he loves me... As if I haven't committed murders and declared war against all non-sorcerers...

Tilting his head slightly to one side, Satoru blinks at his one and only,

"I don't think anyone could've stopped you."

"You could've."

There it is, Satoru thinks as he lets out the breath he'd been holding since they'd approached one another,

There's my Suguru...

A car passes by them, the headlights washing them in a quick burst of orange and yellow.

"The earliest versions of us held so much trust. I would've trusted you with everything, Suguru," Satoru tells him gently, moving to reach one hand towards Suguru before letting it drop back down as he looks away now,

"Even my life."

Suguru swallows thickly, not moving his own eyes from Satoru's face,

"Even your life?"

The silence was deafening as Satoru just presses his lips together as if to stifle a cry. He doesn't look at Suguru; he takes a deep breath and just studies the ramen shop that's lit up and full of customers across the street.

"I still do," Satoru finally blurts out a moment later.

"Do what?"

Turning his head to look back into Suguru's eyes, Satoru gives him the smallest of smiles as he says honestly,

"Trust you with my life."

It's immeasurable– this loss.
