Summary: Sharing a cigarette is just another ritual.
Author's Notes: A true drabble! I do still love these two. ♥
The soft click of the lighter is atmospheric, the first note of a prologue. Subaru lights his cigarette with steady hands and does not acknowledge Seishirou's eyes on him. His feelings are a tangle of contradictions, as always, but this is not the first time, or the second. Three times constitutes a pattern, one of locked limbs and hatred and love (always love), all joined by bitter smoke.
"That's still not good for you," Seishirou murmurs, too low to be chiding, and Subaru never expected to finish this particular cigarette. Seishirou takes a drag, then leans down to kiss him.
Subaru inhales.
