Anon, omg, I am getting teary-eyed in real life. I savoured all your words, slowly and preparing my heart for the worst, and then at the very end, I played the song you linked and everything came crashing in. Kame, lonely at the top, still a child, protected and inflated into something that he's not, doesn't want to be, but can't escape. And he meets Nakamaru and Nakamaru loves him but can never tell him so.

He takes a palm in his and puts it close to his heart. Calm it, he asks.
My heart, anon. This scene. With them standing and listening to the clock--the tic-tock of the inevitable. They both know.
“Stay with me, Yuichi.” Kame asks but they both know he won't. And Kame's desperation through it all--his frustration with himself, his fear that Yuichi leaving him will mean that he'll have to kill him and in the end, he can't. He won't. He loves him even when Nakamaru betrays him. He lets Nakamaru go, erases his memories, writes his wishes in books that Nakamaru won't ever be around to read. He lets Nakamaru go and sentences himself to loneliness again. ohgodtears I can't handle Kame being hurt and lonely and WHAT IS WITH THIS SONG AND BRINGING OUT ALL THE TEARS

All the worlds in the future will have me and you.
and yet Kame keeps on hoping....... ;_; *curls up into a ball*

'some kind of angst' you said, anon. I am feeling it acutely. The AU itself had me silently screaming but the real magic here is the bruise to the emotions you've just landed me. Perfect, perfect, painful choice of song, anon. I love everything about this gift fic in a misty-eyed-it-hurts kind of way. Thank you, thank you ♥♥♥♥♥
