Kamui woke up with a shock. He could hear screaming, and immediately, his eyes opened and he jumped out of bed.

"What are you doing!"

"Giving him his freedom!"

Kamui swallowed. The scream was swallowed.

"What do you know!"

"Enough!"

"He's using you, don't do this, Subaru!"

Kamui's eyes widened, his steps hurried. He was sprinting.

"And you think he will ever accept and love a monster who would kill his own parents!"

"Yes". There was a pause, "I know because he will always love me."

There was a laugh but it died off abruptly.

Heart racing, Kamui quickly threw the door open. Kamui swore he saw Subaru's eyes flash gold for a second. But he dismissed the thought, thinking he was crazy.

"Kamui", Subaru called, bringing the other out of his stupor.

Rich purple eyes flittered across the room before they swopped over the single person standing, alive in the middle of the room. Subaru was covered in blood, Kamui noted the painful obvious. He wondered if he should ask the other what exactly had happened. But he felt as though he had heard enough to deduce what had happened.

"Kamui?" Subaru asked in a slightly louder voice this time, he took a couple of steps towards his twin, his face painted with an unreadable smile.

"Is this, is this a dream?" Kamui asked softly, his eyes looking straight into his twin's eyes, unwavering.

"No", Subaru whispered back, he walked forward and pulled Kamui in for a hug, he didn't want to see the shock on the other's face, he didn't want to see his brother's expression turn agonizing.

Kamui took in a breath as he held his twin back. He could smell the blood on his brother, yet he couldn't find himself to be disgusted by him, to be appalled. He couldn't reject and push the other away. Because it's Subaru.

Subaru tightened his hold, "I'm sorry, but unconditional love isn't a dream."

Kamui sighed as he fingers dug into Subaru with force, "you're so stupid, why didn't you wait for me?" Kamui smiled sadly, he thought that having this all calculated out, pulling the strings, he wouldn't be affected, but now that the deed has been done, the one sitting behind bars would be Subaru. Just like how he had planned it. His heart felt heavy.

"Let's run away together", Kamui whispered into Subaru's ear. Kamui wondered what he was saying, why he was saying such things. It wasn't meant to be like this. He was supposed to gain his freedom through Subaru. He isn't meant to end up being tied down. Yet, his heart kept thumping hard, and he kept talking, "this time, I'll be the one to protect you unconditionally."
