#01 - Motion
Some days he was consistently distracted by the memory of the night before, bodies pressed together, the slick motion of one form moving within another, and if was difficult to make it through the day.
#02 - Cool
There was something spectacular about the feeling of warm breath ghosting over the remnants of kisses and licks, the shivering tickle of blond hair against pale blond flesh.
#03 - Young
Asch often wondered why it had been so much easier to tell Guy he loved him years ago than now, despite being so much stronger and braver, but the answer was defined by the memory that years ago, he'd never doubted that Guy loved him right back.
#04 - Last
He couldn't remember the last thing he'd said to Guy, but as he was dying, he'd wanted to tell the replica to say something - after all, what good was he if he couldn't be a replacement for even this?
#05 - Wrong
Some would say what they did was wrong - others might laugh and call it an untruth - but for Guy, it was less what felt wrong and more what felt right, and Asch's body felt so neatly against his own he didn't feel like arguing about it.
#06 - Gentle
Their time together was never gentle, never soft and sweet and beautiful, because Guy was not a woman and Asch wouldn't treat him like one; Asch wasn't afraid to crush him to the bed, bite him, grind him, make him bleed, because sometimes it was the only way it felt right.
#07 - One
He often wished the replica didn't exist for no reason other than the fact that he wanted to be the only one for Guy.
#08 - Thousand
Not once in a thousand years would he ever have imagined falling for the original, when it was the replica that made him change his mind and his feelings.
#09 - King
Admitting how he felt about Guy would break the heart of his queen, he knew, and was the reason he all too often kept his distance from the ones he loved more than anything in the world.
#10 - Learn
Guy had found it easier to hold on to his hate by watching how much Asch hurt Luke with his cruelty - discovering how Asch felt on Mushroom Road, however indirectly, shattered that pretense forever.
#11 - Blur
Guy couldn't remember much of the night before, so rushed and heady had it been, but he did recall pain, and pleasure, and red hair tickling his chest as they moved.
#12 - Wait
Only when he caught sight of that long red hair and Oracle Knight uniform did Guy realize he'd been waiting for Asch to find their group once again.
#13 - Change
One of the strangest experiences, Asch thought, was meeting Guy in Grand Chokmah after Van's defeat and seeing his servant as a full-fledged nobleman, tall and proud instead of on his knees.
#14 - Command
Asch had always been good at ordering the servants around, but he didn't enjoy it nearly so much as when it was Guy.
#15 - Hold
The fact that Asch the Bloody was constantly slipping through his fingers and wandering around the world made it all the more pleasurable when he could finally pull the young man into his arms and hold him there.
#16 - Need
They didn't need family, they didn't need a home, they didn't need each other - but living was so much better than merely existing.
#17 - Vision
Military men weren't very good kings, he thought, which was why he didn't feel quite as guilty as he ought to when he told Natalia they would change their country together - but not together.
#18 - Attention
Perhaps the ranting and insulting of poor Luke was Asch's way of calling for attention, taking back what he lost, what he feels Luke stole; realizing this made Guy regret his treatment of Asch early on, and was the catalyst of his promise to start over and make things right.
#19 - Soul
Upon returning to life in a combined essence of his own body and soul with Luke's, Asch hated to think that he could never be with Guy without the replica's inclusion.
#20 - Picture
He had a picture in his mind, of his family - alive and well and smiling, and he in the middle of them, with Asch and Luke standing with him just as happy and alive as the rest.
#21 - Fool
As he watched Eldrant fall, all Guy could think was how much of a fool he'd been to leave them both alone when they'd needed someone the most.
#22 - Mad
Much as he hated his idiot replica, a part of him was grateful for his existence; without him, Guy may never have changed his mind, stopped wanting revenge, and then they'd probably both be dead.
#23 - Child
"It's cold in my room," Asch told him sullenly as he climbed into bed with Guy, unable to voice his true reason.
#24 - Now
Asch had asked him for an answer, and his eyes demanded an immediate one, and Guy was surprised afterwards how easy it had been to say yes.
#25 - Shadow
There was always a glimmer of darkness in Guy's smile; Asch remembered it more clearly seven years later because it was missing - much to his fierce, inexplicable jealousy - when his former servant spoke to the replica.
#26 - Goodbye
Thinking back, Guy realized long after Eldrant that the last he'd seen of Asch was his back as he angrily stormed away in Grand Chokmah, and he'd never gotten the chance to say goodbye.
#27 - Hide
He'd always been good at hide-and-seek, even as an adult, and would never admit the pleasure he took in forcing Guy to hunt for him - around the manor, or Auldrant itself.
#28 - Fortune
Asch started actively pursuing Guy after he moved from Baticul to Grand Chokmah, not because of status or family fortune, but because of freedom.
#29 - Safe
There was safety in strength, Asch had learned long ago; what he never realized before lying in bed with his new lover was that he could find reliable strength in others, not just himself.
#30 - Ghost
As he lay dying, sending Luke the power of his hyperresonance, a part of him wished fervently to send more - there were certain people who still needed looking after.
#31 - Book
It had sometimes bothered him, as a child, knowing how well-read his servant was; he'd often wondered where Guy Cecil had come from and why his father had never bothered to ask.
#32 - Eye
He hated his eyes, because they were no longer his, but for some reason he still felt an incredible warmth when Guy told him they were beautiful.
#33 - Never
It would never work, he told himself, time and time again, until inexplicably it did.
#34 - Sing
Nights with Guy were wonderful, and waking up next to him even more so, but he would have been much happier if the blond refrained from serenading him from the baths when he decided to sleep in.
#35 - Sudden
He considered himself a man of quick reflexes and excellent instincts, but a certain redhead still managed to catch him off guard at times.
#36 - Stop
The thought of dying was a frightful thing, but Asch sometimes liked the way his heart skipped a beat, and his breath caught in his throat, when Guy gave him that look.
#37 - Time
Time heals all wounds, it was often said, but Asch just as often doubted he would live long enough to experience Guy's genuine forgiveness.
#38 - Wash
He knew he was old enough to bathe himself, but if he were to be entirely honest, he'd have to admit he liked being pampered by Guy.
#39 - Torn
He hated being constantly torn between two childhood friends (and loves), held fast to both by a promise and his heart.
#40 - History
Their family histories were forever connected by blood and betrayal, and often Asch wished they were not, for then there would be nothing to forgive, and no hesitation.
#41 - Power
There were days that Asch wished desperately that someone else had been the scion of Lorelei, the heir of hyperresonance's unfathomable power, so he could simply be a man in love with no responsibilities or strings attached.
#42 - Bother
Sometimes Asch was such a bastard that Guy wondered why he bothered; thankfully Asch usually reminded him later that night.
#43 - God
Asch wanted to ask Guy sometimes if he hated Lorelei, and Yulia, and the Score just as much as Van, after what happened to Hod; perhaps it could be considered one more thing they shared.
#44 - Wall
Guy gasped as his back hit the wall, hands fisted in Asch's hair as the younger man attacked his chest with teeth and tongue and all he could think was more, more.
#45 - Naked
There was nothing quite like the feel of flesh on flesh, limbs intertwined, the satisfaction when those maddeningly tempting skin-tight pants were finally on the floor beside the bed.
#46 - Drive
"What's driving you to be so reckless all the time?" Guy asked him once, upon meeting him on another near-fruitless trip to Mushroom Road, and Asch couldn't muster the courage to say that sometimes, it was him.
#47 - Harm
The first time they had sex - it wasn't lovemaking, not yet, if ever - Guy bit his neck, drawing blood; he soothed it afterwards with tongue and the words of an almost-reluctant apology, so rare that Asch couldn't tell him how he'd liked it.
#48 - Precious
"You're a gift," Guy sometimes told him, stroking his hair and kissing it with the gentle lips he so loved, and sometimes Asch believed him.
#49 - Hunger
The taste of him was both wonderful and addictive, like the wind by the sea - fresh and unsweetened but with its own pleasantly unique flavour.
#50 - Believe
There were so many things Guy gave to him - a friend, a family, a peaceful life and something too beautiful to describe - but the one thing Asch was most grateful for was the promise that no matter where he went, or how far, or how long, there would always be a place where he was welcome, a home with more love than he could ever have dreamed, and a love that felt more like home than Baticul ever did.
