[ Miyuki Kazuya fucked up.

Now, this is a general fact of life. Miyuki regularly finds himself screwing up somewhere along the way, but never quite so bad that he can't cover it up or immediately recover. In this particular case, finding a celestial being in a crater and bringing them home is probably a royal fuckup in and of itself, but finding out that they're your soulmate and then going from there resulted in things kind of... going far too downhill than he'd anticipated. He was seeing a few people, at the time. Easy hookups that were good for all parties.

Except for the soulmate's.

It's more than a little appropriate that Eijun is a star prince, considering he's basically a sunbeam brought to life, all energy and determination and cheer. But for a while there, things just weren't looking good. Miyuki had fucked things up to the point that Eijun's depression was blatant, in the way he was constantly sleeping when he wasn't just... running. Like he could outrun the heartbreak - because that's what it was. Even Miyuki could feel it.

Which is why he's done everything, ever since he got his head out of his ass, to fix things. I'm sorry, he'd said. I'll be better. I'll make it up to you.

So he's done a lot, to make up for how things had started. He's taken him out on simple dates, gone places he thinks he'd like, brought him things. Shown him the world, properly, instead of halfassedly like he'd been doing for so long. Dog parks, ramen dates, teaching him more about baseball, festivals, movies. The works.

Tonight, it's a surprise, so Kazuya holds Eijun by both hands, walking backwards with an almost shy grin on his face compared to his usual. ] C'mon, just a bit further.

[ it's been a weird time since eijun fell to earth.

it's a normal thing for his people to go to, to find their soulmates, but eijun's journey hadn't really been all that easy. for starters, his soulmate was a jerk: this was not what he was expecting when he looked at his mom and his dad, saw how happy and in love they were. it was frustrating, and no matter how much he stomped and grumbled about it, in the end, eijun had to deal with it. he couldn't go home, so he was stuck with miyuki kazuya.

things got worse before they got better. but since then, they've changed a lot.

it's been slow and tentative, a warm arm over his side in the dark of night, some of eijun's glow coming back. he hadn't really noticed that it was gone, but to outsiders it must have been obvious, because sawamura eijun is always, somehow, a little bit, glowing. and for a while, he went out.

now, he's glowing again, just faintly, enough to leave a halo around him in the dark night. he has absolutely no idea where kazuya is taking him as usual, but he's always game, even if he complains.

(even if he complains, he doesn't let go of his hands. even with his brows furrowed, pouting a little, he still shines.) ] Where are we going? C'mon, give me a hint!!

It used to be a hole in the ground. [ Miyuki's snark comes easy as he leads him along, glancing back over his shoulder to make sure that he doesn't bump into anything. For the most part, this isn't really too out of the way. If it was, then he wouldn't have found Eijun that day - or, that's what he tells himself. Even with the mark on his chest that matches the one on Eijun's, he's reluctant to believe this whole soulmate thing.

After all, that means that there's someone out there - in this case, Eijun - that's saddled with him. He doesn't want that to happen to someone else, because he can't say he likes himself very much, but another part of him, one that he buries deep, likes it. At least a little bit. (It's the lonely part of him that he covers with his shitty grin and mocking laughs and hidden self-loathing. It likes the idea of there being someone that'll make him a little less lonely.)

But, right now, he's going to at least play the part. After all, he fucked up so badly that it resulted in someone else hurting, and that's... Miyuki might act like he doesn't have a heart, sometimes, because it's easier, but he still has one. And the guilt had been palpable.

So here he is, trying to make amends, and feeling something like a hot vice squeezing in his chest as he takes in Eijun's renewed glow. Even faint, it's a relief to see it, and he laughs a little at his pout. ]

You probably won't recognize it, to be honest.
