    Summary

    Julian doesn't think about it much these days. Why should he, when it's been so long?

    But when he does, if he does, well—he considers it part and parcel of Garak, that's all. Disconcerting at first, a little invasive. Awfully close to a line but not quite crossing it, and leaving Julian with absolutely no idea what he's meant to do in response. Garak in microcosm, summarized in a single unexpected gesture.

    (Or: Julian has always thought Garak just had a weird little habit. Until another Cardassian does the same thing to him, and seems to imbue the gesture with a meaning Julian really had not anticipated.)

    Summary

    “Did you know that you have freckles, Kuro-sama?” Fai asks quietly as his eye looks over Kurogane’s face with some kind of reverence.
    Kurogane smiles fondly, so full of love for this man. He did know that, actually, as he had spent so much time in the sun as a child. They faded over many years of guarding the palace at night and sleeping through the day, so much so that they are almost undetectable unless someone is as close as Fai is right now. And Kurogane doesn’t usually let anyone this close.

     

    Kurogane and Fai share their final night in Nihon together before departing to Clow.
