they go one of three ways, supernovas do:
either they become neutron stars, ever-leaking light and cooling with time, the smallest and densest object across all of space.
they become black holes, which ravenously consume every bit of matter that swirls into their invisible limbs, never to be seen again.
or they simply don't exist anymore. the star dissipates completely, gone in a flash.
subaru doesn't know what road his heart is heading. but there's honestly not much thought before he turns his hands to cup their cheeks again, leaning down to press their heads together. it's different than the study hall, even if it's just as quiet, just them, and he hopes keigo can hear his heart, because maybe it would reassure them.]
But now that I do, I won't let you take it back. We've got half a year at the very least together-- or more, if you want.
[he'd repeat, for them. just to have some more time, since he's already promised to change their future -- so that they can have more years, so that their existence doesn't stop on the day everyone is supposed to be moving on.]
So, what do you want to do? Forget "supposed to"s. Now that I know, and now that you know...
[... what do they want to do? because subaru's pretty caught between running away and kissing them.]
no subject
They want to want. They've never had any trouble wanting, before.
And they don't want to do anything, don't want this moment to end, don't want things to change...
...
They lift their hands and place them on Subaru's shoulders to push him away, fingers curling, gripping tight...
and before they can lose their nerve, they lean in and kiss Subaru on the lips, gentle, sweet, brief as their arms slide around instead, burying their face against his neck and pulling him into a hug. ]
I want to give you my heart. And you'd better not break it, or I'll be really really reaaaally mad.
no subject
definitely a neutron star.
it's a gently, sweet, brief kiss but it takes subaru's entire breath away, now-empty hands trembling a bit in the air behind keigo as they press into a hug. it's like there's static in his mind, but it's not in an unpleasant way -- not loud, more of the soft sort that infects old video tapes that've run a little too long too many times, rewound and played again and again and again until they're scratched.
but slowly, he comes back to himself, and he wraps his arms around them back, laughing breathlessly in their ear.]
Deal. [a tighter hug. he doesn't want to let them go. they have a few hours before people really come looking to buy anything in the shop across the hall, but subaru wonders if he can just steal them away the whole day instead.] I swear, I won't.
[it's terrifying, actually. he's riding on a high right now but it's terrifying. he has someone's heart. he just had his first kiss. there's-- so much that comes with this, in a school that freestyles with death, but that'll dawn on him more later. or in five minutes.
............. keigo is so brave to say what they did because subaru suddenly feels very bashful, he has such a hard time taking what he dishes out himself--]
We'll trade hearts. So... don't break mine either, or I'll be really, really, reaaaally sad.
no subject
But it's so soooo warm. Whether or not they deserve to be happy, they feel it, a little smile working its way onto their face as sheer terror completely wipes away all higher thought, a shaky laugh against the crook of his neck, another kiss pressed against his cheek. ]
...Thank you, for loving me. And for being here.
no subject
he knows he's a sun that burns a little too bright, a little too hot, and the last thing he wants to do is overwhelm keigo. even though he's sort of overwhelmed them already.
but it's with a careful restraint, heart like a bird freshly put in a cage, that he turns his head to kiss them lightly on the lips. more like a brush, because he has a lot of energy and plenty of antsy feeling that makes him want to do so much more, that he is just focusing into very much not that. it's terrifying, it's so terrifying, but in a rollercoaster sort of way.]
There's nowhere else I'd wanna be right now, Keigo. I can afford to skip a day, so...
[he trails off, tracing constellations against their back with a heady, sly sort of grin.]
Think your customers would mind if I hung around? ☆
[smooching the shopkeeper whenever they weren't pitching sales and hanging off them and probably whining if he didn't get enough attention until keigo gave him some,]
no subject
[ Sort of a distracted yes, between lifting a hand to touch their lips and trying not to squirm too much at the light touches on their back, but also, yes. ]
You'll just have to work hard for my sake.
[ Stay there and be advertisement. There is no option to not be there. ]
no subject
[he'll peck them on the cheek this time, because it feels nice. maybe he'll just do this the next like hour while the school is still very much theirs and no one is looking for either of them, seeing where keigo's weak kiss-wise. subaru's fairly sensitive by the ears himself.]
That poster I stuck to the board wasn't the only thing I did to boost your sales. I'm doing everything I can think of for you, so of course I'll bust my ass in shop too!
[drawing crowds, keeping them there, as long as keigo doesn't mind playful flirting with the customers maybe subaru can play salesman and get rocks sold....]
