"When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant." - Lisa Unger, Beautiful Lies

You're a fraud and you know it
But it's too good to throw it all away
Anyone would do the same
You've got 'em going
And you're careful not to show it
Sometimes you even fool yourself a bit
It's like magic
But it's always been a smoke and mirrors game
Anyone would do the same

So now that you've arrived well you wonder
What is it that you've done to make the grade
And should you do the same?
(Is that too easy?)
Are you only trying to please them
(Will they see then?)
You're desperate to deliver
Anything that could give you
A sense of reassurance
When you look in the mirror

Such highs and lows
You put on quite a show
All these highs and lows
And you're never really sure
What you do it for
Well do you even want to know?
You put on quite a show

It creeps up on him every year around this time, hanging like a shadow from his birthday to New Year’s, sometimes haunting him into early spring even with the distraction of baseball. It sneaks into his bones with the cold, making him unusually lethargic, spending hours under the kotatsu, staring out the window with a book dangling from his hands.

He’s never told Satoru the reason for his seasonal melancholy but he thinks maybe his boyfriend understands. The first winter they lived together Kazuya let the cold bleed out, could feel himself drifting away from his partner until he woke one night, his back warm where Satoru was pressed against it, his lips touching Kazuya’s neck while Kazuya’s sleep-hazed brain came back to itself.

“Please,” Satoru whispered against Kazuya’s skin. “Please, Miyuki-senpai. Please don’t leave me. I don’t know what I did but…please don’t…”

He’s not sure how long he laid there, frozen while his heart hammered, Satoru whispering the same thing into his skin like a prayer while Kazuya tried to pull himself together.

He could pinpoint the moment it started and yet he’d done nothing to stop it from getting here; it had been on his birthday, when they’d sat down for cake and Kazuya had wondered, not for the first time, when his mother decided to leave them. Had it been before his birthday? Had she stuck around for one more birthday party full of excited kids and sticky hands before walking away forever? Was that her last kindness to him? And then the worry had deepened, looking across the table as Satoru contentedly ate his slice of cake. How long does he have before Satoru leaves? He asked himself, not tasting the sweetness on his tongue anymore.

Even if everything seems stable on the surface it could all crumble tomorrow, a love story that Kazuya let himself get too deep into when he knows nothing is permanent. He found himself starting to tremble against his goosebumps and Satoru’s lips stopped moving. He shifted, straining his eyes in the dark to see Satoru’s face, his eyes watery and wide in the dark as Kazuya turned over to face him, pressing a shaky kiss to his mouth.

“I’m not going anywhere,” he said, finding Satoru’s cheek in the dark and wiping the moisture away. “I’m sorry.”

He never told him why and Satoru never asked they just held each other tighter after that, one night turning into many, cold days spent together under the kotatsu or in the kitchen together. Kazuya doesn’t lose sight of what’s in front of him again, he refuses to let mourning for the past take away his present, even if he doesn’t know what tomorrow will bring.

A WOUNDING (57)

Taichi gets a call from Chihaya at midnight.

“Taichi,” she whispers, “Taichi, guess what, did you check your messages? Guess what!”

“It’s midnight,” he says, sitting up. “What’s happening?”

“It’s what?” Chihaya asks, and then there’s silence from her, just the sound of rustling and shifting around coming through his phone.

Probably checking the time, Taichi thinks, closing his eyes and leaning his forehead against his free hand, arm propped up on his knee.

“Oh! I’m sorry, Taichi! Did I wake you up? Oh no.”

She sounds so-- that’s not what--

Taichi slumps back against the wall, opening his eyes again. “No,” he says. It’s not a lie; he’d been awake. Lying in bed, trying to fall asleep, but awake. He looks out the window. “It’s alright. What was it you wanted to tell me?”

Through the window, Taichi can see the moon. It glows in the dark sky, casting its light into his room.

“It’s Arata,” Chihaya says. “He’s coming to town, for a visit! Isn’t that great? It’s the three of us, back together, for a bit. Hey, we should all visit Harada-sensei and maybe we’ll do a team game together. When’s he coming? Oh, it doesn’t matter, we’ll go the moment he comes, right, Taichi?”

Taichi lets her words wash over him. He’s staring at the shape the moonlight is making across his desk, on his floor. Arata, back in town? His stomach gives a jolt. Chihaya’s so excited about it, too, talking about being on a team. What had Arata said once? The only team for me is the one I had with you and Chihaya. And it had been under the moon that he’d said that, looking up at it, the light of it lining his face.

Taichi feels a vicious flush up his neck, up to his cheeks. He covers his mouth, purposefully turns away from the moon.

“Sure,” he says. What was he agreeing to? It didn’t really matter, since it was Chihaya proposing. Arata, karuta, whatever, he’s gone through them all already, and he’ll go through them again.

--

Chihaya’s midnight phone call didn’t really disrupt Taichi’s sleep schedule that much. He’s been staying up late for a while now, studying for his entrance exams. He imagines that Arata’s doing the same, to be able to have the leisure to pick whatever Tokyo university he wants. Chihaya never disclosed the reason for Arata’s visit, but Taichi suspects it’s to do a tour of some campuses.

“Hello President,” Kanade says as they file into the clubroom. “Chihaya-chan’s looking very happy today! Though,” she says, frowning, “she let it slip that she fell asleep in class today.”

Taichi sighs. “She must have not been able to sleep last night,” he says. He’s definitely not speaking from experience. “Will you be doing the readings today?” At her nod, Taichi adds, “It seems like everyone’s here today, so I’ll sit the first round out.”

Everyone pairs off and Kanade settles herself at the side with her set of cards, leaving Taichi to be the odd one out. Chihaya gives him a big grin over the heads of the other club members before turning back to her cards and getting into position.

Taichi’s sits at the table and takes out his schoolwork, prepared to get some studying done. Instead he lets his mind wander as Kanade reads out the cards.

“Me--”

One syllable card, Taichi thinks, about to automatically fill in the second verse when he stops himself. He’s not playing right now, and he’s as trained as he can get on memorization. He looks up and watches as Kanade reads the entire poem out, wanting to hear it properly.

“Long last we meet, only for me to leave hurriedly, for I could not recognize you, like the moon hidden behind the clouds.”

Taichi looks away, folds himself over his work. Is that what Chihaya thinks about Arata? Is that what Taichi thinks about them?

He thinks maybe he prefers these poems when he forgets they have meaning.


A SEDUCTION (68)

They meet Arata at the train station. He arrives with his mother, each of them carrying a small overnight bag. Taichi insists on helping carry the bags, while Chihaya keeps up a steady stream of chatter. The four of them walk the short distance from the station to the relative's apartment they're staying at, Arata and Chihaya walking ahead and Taichi and Arata's mother following from behind.

"Thank you for carrying my bag," Arata's mother says. "Will you and Ayase-san be showing Arata around this afternoon?"

"Yes," Taichi says, "that's the plan."

"I'm happy that he has such good friends in town," she murmurs. "Please take good care of him."

It's safe to assume, Taichi thinks with a wry twist of his mouth, that Arata never mentioned the bullying then. Well, Taichi had never thought he would, and yet… It's still something he thinks about once in a while, one of the many things that fuels his efforts to not be cowardly.

The moment they arrive at the apartment, Chihaya neatly whisks them away again. Arata's mother waves at them from the door as they head down the corridor right back to the elevators.

"So," Chihaya says. "Are you ready? We're going straight to Harada-sensei's!"

Arata smiles at her, then turns the smile on Taichi. Taichi smiles back. Whatever confused emotions he was feeling before, it’s still nice to be with someone who understands.

--

Once they arrive at the Shiranami Society, they have to wait for their turn to play a three-on-three team match. It’ll take a little wrangling to get everyone sorted out for it, so Taichi, Arata, and Chihaya wait on the sidelines for the current round to finish up before proposing it.

Arata is sitting in the middle of their little group, Taichi on his right side. When Taichi looks over, he sees that both Arata and Chihaya are paying close attention to the matches in front of them, leaning slightly forward in their eagerness. Taichi casts his gaze downwards, too distracted to focus on karuta, letting himself listen to the poetry. The reader is someone he doesn’t recognize, maybe visiting from another karuta society. He’s got a clear voice, though Taichi finds that he’s come to prefer Kanade’s reading. Still--

“As the years pass, I will find myself longing for the sight of the midnight moon.”

And the slap, slap, slap of hands on the tatami mat.

Taichi stares unseeing at the mat he’s sitting on. He slowly raises a hand to the back of his neck, feels how hot it is. It’s hot in the room too, though, it has to be with all these people moving so much. It’s not just him, it can’t be. He glances to the side, sees the way Arata’s hands are resting on his knees. The spread of them seems impossibly large, and Taichi feels the blush spread across his back with little pinpricks of heat.

He lifts his head and catches Chihaya’s gaze just then, across from Arata’s hands on his knees. His heartbeat picks up at her smile, at the way her eyes twinkle.

He turns back to look at the players, his mouth suddenly dry. It’s nice, he thinks faintly, to really think about these poems sometimes.

POSSIBLE GORE WARNING, but it's not necessary.

"I want to cut out my heart for wanting so much." — Clementine von Radics

FILL: Team Kyoutani Kentarou/Yahaba Shigeru, T

[kiyala]

some gore imagery
word count: 581

Avarice is a sin, and Akashi knows that, but he lets it claw its way into his heart anyway, making its home there.

Perhaps it runs in the family, with the way that his father always demands the best, wanting more and more out of Akashi until he doesn't feel like there's anything else left for him to give. He can try, he can wring himself dry, and he does, day after day. It's never enough. Not for his father, not for his expectations.

Eventually, Akashi starts to forget the meaning of enough.

The only thing that gives him any sort of control is the voice that sits at the back of his mind, making him feel guilty for his greed. He wants victory, he wants to be the best the way that he's expected to, but he can fee the way that it stops being about the expectations heaped upon him and starts being about himself.

He wants to win because he wants to prove that he is the best. No matter what kind of competition it might be, he will accept no equal, he will accept no challenge. He will eave anyone foolish enough to step in his path reeling, brought down to their knees, because that's the kind of person that he is. He will do everything he can to make sure that he's the only one standing at the very top.

For some reason, however, this greed doesn't feel the same as what he feels when he looks at Midorima.

There's something about Midorima Shintarou that fills Akashi with the desire to make him his own. He's already halfway there, he thinks, with the way that Midorima follows at his heel no matter where he goes; the way Midorima defers to him, their families running in the same social circles, clearly knowing where his family stands, in comparison to Akashi's.

But it's more than that, too. It's not dominance that Akashi wants, because that's the kind of thing that he can achieve without even having to bat an eyelid. He doesn't want Midorima on his knees, not when it comes to this.

He wants Midorima standing beside him, he thinks. He wants Midorima's smiles to be for him, he wants something like familiarity with Midorima, unlike what they already have. He wants more and he doesn't quite know how to put it into words; he doesn't know how to express it at all, other than the guilt that sits heavily in his chest like a stone, making him feel that whatever he wants, it's too much.

He doesn't know why the line is drawn here of all places. he doesn't know why he can't allow himself to want Midorima, the same way he wants victory.

Perhaps because it's not something that is expected of him. Something that won't be accepted, and that only makes him feel even guiltier, until it eats away at him and his heart feels so heavy that it makes Akashi want to carve it out and cast it aside, because it's never helped him. It's only ever gotten in his way, in every kind of competition he's participated in.

There are no room for feelings, no room for any desire other than the desire to win.

So Akashi does the same as what he always does with unnecessary things; he excises it, casts it out, lets it wither away into nothing.

He is an emperor, and Midorima is his general.

That is enough.
