Disclaimer: Persona 3 isn't mine. I just like playing in ATLUS' sandbox.
Warnings: Drugs, vomit.
i believe in you
The drugs burn like fire in Jin's veins, and when they make him sick that's like fire, too, burning his throat and mouth on the way back up. There's no relief, no escape from the feeling of being incinerated from the inside out -
Except Takaya.
Takaya's hands are cool against his feverish skin, and his whispers of encouragement are like water drowning the flames. He kneels beside Jin on the bathroom floor and rubs his back when he pukes his guts out, and Jin wonders, sometimes, if this is what parents are meant to do.
Is this what "love" is?
