    Summary

    The worst part about the coffin was not the experience, it was others learning about it.

    ---

    “The coffin.” Hua Cheng whispers. “It was a long time, wasn’t it?”

    Xie Lian opens his mouth, denial on the tip of his tongue.

    He takes in an unsteady breath, ashamed to find his eyes burning with the effort to hold back tears, then blurring with his failure to do so.

    “…It was.”

    Summary

    It was a cold night.

    Tsukasa hates the cold. He hates the rain. He hates empty houses. He hates the sound of silence. He hates the cold.

    It was always far too cold when he was alone.

    But now, as he stood at a time nearing the middle of the night. Hands resting now numbly on a freezing metal bar as wind violently whipped his hair every which way; the sound of water beneath the bridge he stood upon rushing loudly in his ears, he decided it was different.

     

    Alternatively: Tsukasa is so, so tired, and decides one night that death will be his only solace from the thoughts which plague him. Can the virtual singers and his troupmates show him just how wrong he is about everything before it's too late?

    TW's in notes!

    Summary

    There are cobwebs in his mind. Sludge and tar and molasses. A graveyard of teethbones and ash, sand on his tongue, bittersweet saltiness on his lips.

    "Tsukasa-kun." Rui's voice resurfaces him from the shade, and he blinks at the sun in his eyes, the faint creases in his uniform from where it looked like he had clutched at his chest and squeezed. "Slow steps. Follow me."

    "Follow me," he echoes tonelessly. The words comes out flat, if a little lost. Rui squeezes their hands together as an unspoken reminder, a message, a promise: I'm here.

    There is safety in that, a quiet sort of assurance he isn't sure when he grew used to trusting. He falls then, but he falls with the knowledge that the people he loves will be there to catch him at the bottom of the gaping chasm.

    or: for tenma tsukasa, there are both good days and bad days. on the bad days, his friends are there to help him through the worst of it.
