Into Smoke

"ι can never love yoυ. noт now. noт ever."

Love can come in all shapes and forms, but one is not always open to accept it. It is too complex of a thing to just be forgotten, but that's all the Shimada wants to do. He has standards to uphold and one of them is not being in love with another man. His feelings are irrelevant and he needs to push them away if he wants to be a proper Shimada, even if doing so will cause himself great harm.

His lover - or almost lover - doesn't feel quite the same. He has never judged love by what the person has in their pants, instead, he judges for how the act, instead. The cowboy has done this since he started having relationships, and is quite used to finding a man attractive. When he falls in love with the Shimada, he doesn't care that he is a man, he just cares about who he is. Who he will be. Who he was.

How long will it take until the suppressed feelings crush the two?
