"i give you hundred days. within those days, you will be sent back in a different body, and you will have to find him. you will have to make him recognise it's you, but you can't say it directly nor can you do anything too obvious. in particular, you are not to touch the empty vision the boy carries with himself. you will know when to be silent, for i am giving you this invisible cursed shackle on your throat," saying so, she rose her hand. a bright glow descended from her fingertips, and a ribbon of light approached him and circled around his throat. he felt it cool down over his skin as it melted into him. he rose both hands to his neck, but felt no presence of a shackle anymore.
ei's eyes were on him as she repeated, "a hundred days, no direct hints, staying away from the vision. if you fail, i will shatter your soul. if you're late, i will also shatter your soul. but if you succeed," her eyes turned softer for a short while, "i will allow your body back, and i will allow your freedom. a hundred days, starting the moment you say yes. so? are you ready to challenge the god's will again?"
"I'm in love with you. And I have been since we met, well, a few weeks after." He smiled at Tamaki sadly. "I'm not as romantic as you are."
"Don't. Don't do what I think you're doing." Tamaki was nearly shouting, taking a few steps back.
"Why not? I thought you loved the attention confessions brought to you. Don't you want to hear about how I looked forward to seeing you every day or how badly I missed you when we were apart?" He felt like he was going crazy. Or that he had gone crazy long ago. Tamaki had that effect on him. "Or, I could tell you about the sleepless nights I spent planning our trips and how I just felt the need to know everything so I could be the perfect tour guide for you-"
"I wanted to be the reason for that smile, you just always smiled at me..." People hardly smiled at him. Kyoya shook his head. Tamaki always smiled at him. And now, it was ruined. "That doesn't matter now-"
Tamaki cut him off, stepping closer to him. His eyes were trained on Kyoya's face. "You're not confessing to me because you love me." Kyoya wanted to scream.
