    Summary

    Reo’s greatest fear is being a marionette: wooden limbs clacking in predetermined ways, controlled in every sway, only destined to follow someone else's instructions. Then, he meets Nagi, and he imagines cutting away these strings and finally becoming free.

    He has to die to realize this isn't the case. That this has never been the case, and that Reo is nothing but a blunt instrument in the hands of fate, meant to guide Nagi to go far from his reach.

    It’s okay. If it’s Nagi, then he can bear it.

    Summary

    “…Nagi?” Reo’s voice shines with disbelief. “Oh my god, did I call you?”

    “Yes.”

    “Huh,” Reo says. “I’m drunk.”

    (Or, Nagi is cooking stew when Reo calls Nagi to come pick him up.)

    Summary

    “Always miss you, Reo.”

     

    The admission makes Reo’s heart flutter, his hands reaching up to gently cup Nagi’s face between them as he finally looks back up into his eyes, devoid of almost all color– and Reo frowns.

     

    “Nagi,” his hands squeeze Nagi’s face a bit. “When’s the last time you were fed?”

    Summary

    “I’m excited to see you play, too.”

    Reo stiffens. Seishiro thinks that’s the end of their little conversation, but Reo, always adept at extending their stolen moments, barges forward. “And if I disappoint you?”

    Disappoint Seishiro? Reo probably hasn’t realized how difficult of a task that is. For him, especially.

    “Don’t worry about that,” he says, his breath ruffling Reo’s hair. Reo shivers, almost imperceptibly, but Seishiro notices.

    He’s not sure if he’s allowed to reach out. He does anyway.

    Or: Five times Nagi Seishiro holds back and one time he tells Reo exactly what’s on his mind.

    Summary

    “Nagi! Did you hear what I said?” Reo fixes him with that look now, and Nagi lifts his phone up further to hide behind, as if he hadn’t just been staring off and spacing out. Reo’s hand gently bats down on his calf, “Hey!”

    “Hi, Reo.”

    “Don’t ‘hi, Reo’ me! I’m not letting you off the hook just because you’re cheeky. What was I just talking about?”

    Nagi hums, mentally retracing their steps as he taps away at his phone screen to claim his daily login rewards.
