AU. Theirs was a relationship full of questions: Is it safe to date a guy with the same PR agent as you? Can you really trust your best friend to set you up? And just what is the deal with that seven date rule anyway?

The first time was involuntary, I am certain. He did not walk toward me so much as fall against me, body crumpling in a graceful arch. I remained still, unsure of how to proceed. "You're alive" he breathed, so softly that only I could have heard him.

Sora thought he was going to live the rest of his life running, but someone with silver hair stopped him in his tracks. Now he can't decide if he should kiss him sensless or keep on running. But running gets tiring.

Sometimes, surviving isn't enough. Sometimes, you need more. Sometimes, you need to loose in order to gain. AU Jack/Ianto
