Pairing: Yu-yu x Danji.

Summary:

Actions and nonaction speak louder than words.


I want to say you may not be where I am, but you're here with me.

There's a lot I want to say to you, Danji-san.

Or one thing. The one thing.

Isn't it always that one thing?

Or is that what they tell you, before you're ready to grow up and take your first steps into the "real" world?

It's funny. I feel it should be the world against us, but everyone seems…willing to make an exception.

My sisters basically adopted you after only meeting you once.

Tomari-san is more interested in pushing her "scenarios" than pushing the law.

It's amazing pressure, carrying everyone's hopes on your back. Being Leader. I've come to understand why you and Tohya-san had to pass it on to the next at the right time.

You're everyone's Big Bro. Not just Megumi-san's.

That's why, since we met, you've never once taken advantage. You've even set the record straight.

I know you aren't willing to make the exception they are, and that's fine. Even if in our fights, the emotions have always come through whenever you – whenever we – attack.

Nothing ever has to happen for there to be this resonance between us.

Nothing needs to be spoken because we already feel what the other feels.

Say nothing, and we'll have said everything.

Silence is golden.

We have a conversation in how we and our cards clash.

I am dressed in who I am inside, and you, in who you are inside, Danji-san.

We wear ourselves on our sleeves.

And everybody sees.

But even so.

What isn't said.

That is ours.
