    Summary

    “He loved you, didn’t he?” Takemichi asks. “He’d be proud of anything you did, because it was you, Chifuyu.” Love does not forsake so easily. Love does not dissipate like ink in water after death—it permeates the skin and threatens to linger. And you let it. You let it tear you open and make itself a home, and if you’re lucky, truly lucky in the way Takemichi thinks he might be when he looks at Chifuyu, Mikey, Draken, you thank it and pray it stays.

    -----

    Takemichi stays in the past. When Draken finds out, he swims with him to the center of the lake and they bask in the gentle sunlight as their skin tints pink. Mikey stays on the shore and counts the days until Takemichi breaks his promise.
