Challenge Sentence: "If it were up to me…"
Ginji is a pretty boy filled with dark secrets. He never cries. Instead, he watches the streets. Heels stuck in gutters. Umbrellas forced open. Lightning.
And always, always, the Tower.
Ban just watches Ginji. The way his eyes unfocus. His pale cheeks. His dark mouth. His pain.
Sometimes, Ban can’t help but think, 'If it were up to me…'
But it isn’t.
"It’s raining, Ban-chan."
A rumble of thunder eats up Ginji’s words. Ban doesn’t reply for a moment. Doesn’t know what to say, how to comfort. Watches his glass of water tremble on the bar top.
"I’m sorry, Ginji."
