summary: a spanner in the works of subaru's hard-earned angst
warnings: um, one swear word? m/m implications? crossdressing
notes: this was written for this challenge: make subaru shut up. i took it as getting his angsting to stop. thought this might work?
Subaru felt the wind whip his pale trench coat in a suitably dramatic fashion, although it didn’t disperse the smoke that curled artistically around him. He lifted his cigarette to his mouth, feeling the undeniable urge to choke himself on toxic smoke. He wasn’t sure if it was passive suicide or his last reminder of Seishirou.
As the sun drifted behind large, heavy clouds, there was a sudden pain in his hands. An all to familiar dull ache that dragged several other, sharper pains with it. He gasped, and ended up sucking in too much smoke, and coughing like a smoker (which he was). He hadn’t seen Seishirou for nine years, but the mere thought of him (which tended to linger in Subaru’s head almost constantly) was enough to make his arm and heart throb (with that muted, pleasant kind of pain), and to raise the hairs on the back of his neck.
He desperately searched his surroundings for some clue, any sign, of which direction Seishirou was - so that he could run in the opposite direction, of course. He couldn’t see the Sakurazukamori anywhere. In fact, the only other person in sight was a tall woman walking towards him on dangerous-looking heels.
Subaru found himself inexplicably staring at her: he couldn’t help watching the way her legs seemed to just keep going; the way the material of her short, tight-fitting black dress slid against her skin; her ample chest bulging out of a plunging neckline (and Subaru had previously thought he was gay - or Sei-sexual); the way a few tendrils of her long, black hair had escaped the elaborate styling and were blowing in an, again, suitably dramatic fashion; the way her lips pulled up into a very familiar smirk and her eyes were hidden by very familiar sunglasses.
Wait.
What the fuck?
