"Don't look at it like that."
Hakkai twirls, again, the blood-red strands, and turns on his trained smile. "Yes?"
Gojyo sighs. "You're remembering."
Hakkai reaches up and strokes Gojyo's face. "I remember everyday, just by looking at you."
Gojyo gulps. All Hakkai feels is his own emptiness and the slippery smoothness of Gojyo's… hair on his fingers.
Gojyo closes his eyes, drawing Hakkai closer. "I'm alright being your memento."
He softens his words with a chuckle.
They kiss, deeply, and Hakkai sighs. In his memory, mahjong and laughter rest easily against blood.
Perhaps one day Gojyo will understand, and smile.
