I was rewatching the Queen-musical We Will Rock you (again, I watch it over and over for the music) and came up with a little idea to the song 'Who wants to live forever', from the second act.

Spoilers for the Shikoku Arc.


Forever

Gyuuki x Hihi


Gyuuki ran his fingers down Hihi's face, observing his features with care. He is pale, skin ripped apart and a little blood that hadn't come off on his lower lip. How could he just have been defeated, just like that? Just so... easily … He had been gone, just like that. And there was no time for grieving, either, he knew that. But he needed a short moment, to get his mind to realize the truth. But it was difficult. Because he had known Hihi for such a long time.

A soft brush on fingertips, and Gyuuki had had a whole world in his palm. Gyuuki had once kissed away the tears when Hihi's wife vanished, and Hihi had allowed him to hold him close.

Even that time, he wanted to take back, but he couldn't. It wasn't possible, because what was once lost, he knew he couldn't take back. It was to be lost forever.
