Title: Chiaroscuro
Rating/Warnings: M; sex, mention of self-injury, spoilers through November; does "snails update faster than I do" need warned for? :P
Pairing/Characters: Takaya/Chidori, mention of Junpei/Chidori
Summary: In one hand she holds safety, familiarity, and knowing she is needed; with the other she touches risk and warmth and an infectious smile. One provides for her, but the other promises to let her live. Deciding which to follow is anything but simple.
Takaya's provided everything for her, for as long as she cares to remember, and she wants badly for things to stay that way - so badly that it hurts and she feels a sudden prickling in her eyes that threatens tears. Junpei might be fascinating and kind and so very unlike Takaya in a million different ways, but he is different and that frightens her.
