"you're gonna be okay," youichi whispers, presses his hands down hard against the wound in kazuya's side. blood seeps through the spaces in his fingers, kazuya can see the endless flow of red, all over youichi's once clean hands.
he doesn't want to tell youichi that it's not going to stop. that there's no way it will stop. but--
"don't waste your time takin' care of me," he finally manages, through labored breath, his eyes screwed shut tightly from the pain of the gunshot, the bullet that hit him right on target, despite everything they'd done, despite all the other times they've run and run and slipped away and slipped away, unscathed and together. safe until the next run in with the soldiers after them for the crimes they've committed.
he opens his eyes, even though he doesn't want to see what type of face youichi's making. it's a pained grimace that he's attempting to mask with a set jaw, lips drawn into a tight line. if he knew better, he'd say youichi didn't hear him, that kazuya never said anything in the first place.
but he even in this hapless state, even through blurred vision, he can catch youichi's lip quivering. he knows too.
"you should go, youichi." kazuya reaches to push youichi's hands off of his wound, wants to let the blood flow freely if it means youichi gets out of here alive. if they can't make it through together, at least he wants youichi to make it for the two of them.
"not without you," he protests, but lets kazuya take his hands instead. "i can't! not without you, kazuya!"
"you'll see me again."
it's true. each time they die, they somehow manage to find each other again. each time, every unfortunate end, they're blessed with a new beginning. another chance to live and love and have whatever they couldn't in each previous world.
"i wanna see you now!" but kazuya just pulls him closer.
now isn't meant to be their forever, their happy ending. but maybe next time...
maybe next time, it will be.
he laughs a little, breathless and chest aching, as youichi leans closer, presses his forehead against kazuya's. his bloody hand cups kazuya's cheek, and kazuya tangles his fingers in youichi's hair--a weak grip, but strong enough to pull him a few centimeters closer.
they kiss, both of them fully aware that this will be the last time here.
(until next time. until the next world they find themselves in.)
"you'd better wait for me," youichi murmurs, tears noticeable on his cheeks. "don't you dare run ahead, kazuya."
kazuya smiles, closes his eyes. "'s okay, youichi. you've always been faster than me, anyway."
they both know youichi will catch up, will find him wherever they end up after this.
