It happened one late Spring afternoon. Shouichi was walking back to his dorm, coming from the grocery store. He wore his headphones and bobbed his head to the beat of the music as he walked, plastic bags in one hand, and the other shoved in his pockets. He didn't expect there to be people in his dorm room, at all. His was a single, now, having gotten tired of roommates halfway through his first year, so he applied for a single room on his second. But there they were, sitting at the table, obviously waiting for him.





"I-- I'm sorry," Shouichi said, a little awkwardly. "Byakuran-san." He felt his heart beating hard and fast that he brought a hand up over his chest in an attempt to calm himself down. He took a few steps closer to the other man, but stopped mid-step when Byakuran turned around to face him. Nearly ten years later, they finally saw each other, face to face. Byakuran was smiling, and there was no mark under his left eye. He was beautiful, thought Shouichi, but there was something about the way he looked that troubled him. He looked healthy, but Shouichi felt that if he didn't hold on to him, Byakuran would disappear.

"I thought I'd never see you," Byakuran said, breaking the silence between them. His smile was sincere, and it calmed Shouichi down a little. It made him smile, too. "I was beginning to think that you wouldn't come. I'm glad you did." Byakuran was the one who closed the distance between them. His fingers felt cold on Shouichi's cheek when he touched them, but he still leaned into that hand. "I'm sorry. I should have come sooner," Shouichi said, his voice quiet. "I'm here now, though. I'm here now." Byakuran nodded, pressing their foreheads together. His breath was warm, and he smelled like candy. Marshmallows.

"Shou-chan, I don't have that much time left."
