No. It's such a simple word to say, but sometimes it just doesn't come as naturally to some people as it does for others. Sometimes that simple one syllable word can become a noose around someone's neck that cuts off their airways and chokes every last bit of life from them. Keigo was never able to say 'no'. All his life, that word had brought him nothing but pain and punishment. Why would he want to say it now? Oh, for once in his life, he wanted to say that simple word... so badly. Maybe if he had, he could have kept those turquoise eyes in his life. {ALSO ON A03 @fiercehawk29}
