    Summary

    “It’s not like I’m in love with you or anything.”

    Pete can feel the muscle in Patrick’s jaw tense. But as soon as Pete says it, he knows it's the truth. In his experience, love mostly involves adrenaline and erratic decisions, the hydroplaning before the car crash, the malfunction at the top of the drop tower, good luck realigning your limbs. This slow turning of gears, the logical chain of events that began with either the day Pete was born or the day he first saw Patrick on the other side of that door and ended with Patrick’s fingers in his mouth did not amount to love. It was too steady for that.

    There's ways to stop the move he is planning. On the board, this move is no death sentence. It is only faith.

    It is only — an odd. A gamble.

    A thing of beauty.

    Summary

    There are many things Teru wants from Akane: he wants to break him, be with him. He wants to kiss him senseless, pierce his sword straight into his heart and scoop out the supernatural remains. He wants so much, and it's terrifying.

    It's hard to nurse a broken heart if you never had one in the first place.

    He seems at peace, even if she will never love him back. And oh, how Teru wishes he could say the same for himself. That just loving is enough, that wanting more isn’t something he does.
