AN: I remind you all: if you want a drabble, review or PM me with the prompt and I'll do my best :)

Prompt (mine) : pens. Follow-up drabble to no. 19, Pencils. I reread that one today, and thought, whoa, I promised them a sequel! Well, I've done pencils, up next should be pens! And Yuki deserves a POV too, doesn't he:P

Done in: 10 minutes of rather hard work. I'm sorry to say, I forced this one, but I just had to get it done :)


People are like pens, Yuki once thought to himself. You can't erase something you've written with a pen – well, sure, there's whiteout, but that only hides what you've written; it doesn't really erase it.

And people – people can't undo their actions. They can regret their words, they can apologize; but once the deed is done, it can't be erased.

That's why Yuki never speaks to Shuichi before he's thought hard. Because once things are written down in Shuichi's memory, they can't be erased. Like ink.

Yuki wonders if that's also why he cannot bear to write with pens – only pencils.


End note: very happy with the result :) Tell me what you think!
