Subaru pressed himself tight against Maru's back, the lights from the arena nowhere near as warm and comforting. They were panting after running at full speed across the stage. Subaru mewled lightly, pressing one cheek against Maru's sweat-slicked skin.
He waited for the comforting weight of Maru's palm against his body, feeling the warmth emanating from Maru through layers of clothing before flashing a huge smile at him and then at the audience.
The thud of another body slamming into them caused Subaru to grin and yell out Yasuda's name, gleeful laughter evident in his voice.
Then another and another and yet another body crashed into them, sweat pouring off adrenaline-fueled bodies as their voices chime in a song that Subaru wanted to listen to over and over, forever. He reached out and pulled a lanky body closer to him, uncaring if the smooth skin was now smeared with perspiration from seven other bodies.
All that mattered was the tiny details that Subaru would relive over and over again in the following days, a melody of sights and sounds and emotions rushing through his body and strumming through everyone connected to him.
It started with Hina, that loud voice so filled with satisfaction and then picked up in harmony through Okura, Yoko, Maru, Yasu, and Ryo-chan. Subaru poked the body curled tight against him, grinning happily at Ryo as they poked in unison. "Your turn!" he yelled, careless in his joy, his body thrumming every which way.
When Uchi finally picked up the note, Subaru shuddered, his voice strong and supportive, pouring everything he had into it and holding Uchi's gaze for a long, long moment.
"EITO~!"
Subaru's eyes misted but Subaru stubbornly refused to let go of his gaze.
"EITO~!"
Uchi's hand was curled tight around Subaru's waist and Subaru could feel Uchi's knees wobbling. He pulled on him tighter, his voice booming louder and louder in harmony to Hina's enthusiastic yell, Maru's scream of joy, and the others' cries of happiness until Uchi got the message and straightened up and lifted his voice as high as he could.
"EITO."
Uchi's voice was firm and Subaru nearly stuttered in his singing, his heart was so full and proud.
"Okaeri, Uchi." Subaru whispered as he pressed a nuzzle against Uchi's cheek. The lights were warm against his skin but he relished the warmth surrounding and against him.
