Yeah so it's been a while ^^;; But with the tireless encouragement of my dear muse, work resumed on this story! And I'm happy to report that this part is NSFW! :O

( As it happens, things seem much easier, much more relaxed )

( The week passes quickly for Subaru )

( He tells Yasu to expect him at 7, and spends the whole day trying to ignore the tingle of nervousness he feels in his stomach )

Wow, what a milestone! I think the fic in total is between 80-90k words now XD

( 'It’s quite late' )

A shorter part, but it felt like a natural break... :)

( The next time he wakes up, he feels cold again )

( He sleeps lightly, and when he wakes up he feels like it was part of another life. )

( 'Isn’t it your birthday sometime around now?' )

( 'Is Yasu not coming back?' )

( Ryo is still staring at Yasu like he can’t believe his eyes. )

( That night in bed Subaru is wide awake. )
