#(AKA Do You Ever Just Think Of THIS Daisuke & Cry)

[koushirouizumi]

{DaixRiku} {Caps by Me} (DO NOT RE-USE WITHOUT ASKING)

[koralinewrites]

I saw a post on your main account that you listened to DAYLIGHT! If you don't mind, could you let me know what you think of it?

OOH YES!

Okay so, just to preface this, I’ve ONLY ever listened to Laito’s audios, so his is all I’m gonna be talking about. Obviously there’s gonna be a few spoilers- I personally REALLY loved his tracks. I know there are people who don’t like it because of the storyline and such, but I don’t really care about all that. I loved it for two things. 1) It shows off Laito’s thought processes and what goes through his head and 2) Daisuke Hirakawa’s performance was amazing.

I LOVE angst. I love reading it, writing it, everything. And this has a lot of angst. I mean, the one person who he’s fallen in love with is dying, and there’s quite literally nothing he can do. I think Track 4 was the one that actually got me to cry at the end, when he’s having a mental breakdown. We get to learn more about how he views himself. He doesn’t think of himself as someone who should HAVE these feelings. He’s Laito Sakamaki: a vampire who lies and manipulates his way through life (basically a direct quote, btw). He doesn’t know what to do about these feelings. Lust and pleasure was all predictable, it was second nature. But when someone he genuinely cared for showed up? He had no idea. And then to pile onto these confusing feelings, that same person was going to die. And he couldn’t do a thing. His default was to get rid of the root of the problem, aka you.

This is where I got kinda confused , because a similar thing was happening in More Blood but he didn’t want to kill Yui because he loved her. The way I understood it was he’d rather be the one to kill you than to see you die slowly and painfully without him being able to do anything. Plus, if he was the one to try to kill you, you’d probably resent him and it’d make his life easier. You wouldn’t be nice to him anymore. It’d be something normal, predictable. Something he’s used to, because, let’s face it, he doesn’t know how to handle genuine compassion. But then you don’t. You don’t hate him for trying to murder you- in fact, you welcome it. And this confuses him. You’re not supposed to act like this, it just makes his job harder. Why aren’t you doing anything the way it’s supposed to be done? The way he’s used to. And so, he thinks it’s a problem with him. So he turns that knife on himself, and it takes you getting hurt for him to realize that getting rid of himself wouldn’t accomplish anything either.

Also, as I said before, Daisuke Hirakawa’s performance is AMAZING in this. I’m obsessed with, I can’t remember if it’s Track 3 or 4, but the scene where you’re in the school infirmary and have a coughing fit. He obviously freaks out and his voice deepens in worry. But then. When he leaves, he puts on that happy mask. His voice lightens, and it’s back to that higher-pitched sound it was originally. And that made me want to SMACK him. Like, sir- STOP. Stop hiding behind that mask, it’s obvious you’re worried. Come on.

When Laito’s thinking to himself, when he has that mental breakdown in Track 4, the way his voice shakes and deepens and how he yells and curses and punches a wall and just- AUGHHH. This man. He so obviously cares, but he doesn’t know what to do with all of these feelings he’s never had to deal with before. I just…. God.

Sorry if this isn’t exactly what you wanted. If you can’t tell, I’ve had this rant in my head for a WHILE. He just makes me so ILL. Please, people, send in more Laito related asks, I have so many thoughts-

[flowering-thought]

Daisuke Kawahara

Headcannons w/ Chubby Reader

• Honestly? Daisuke doesn't care much about looks. All he worries about is your physical and mental health. And if you're happy then he's happy!

• But something about the clothes you wear that show just that right amount of curve makes him shiver at the thought of holding you.

• And cuddling with this man has honestly got to be the best thing-

• He loved holding you and cuddling with you. He understands that you may or may not be self conscious so he's careful on where he squeezes you with his hands. But boy does he love squeezing your hips.

• And he loves going shopping! He gives an honest opinion and always says something positive! And he doesn't mind if you like to dress masculine or feminine since he just loves to see you try things on ♡

• Sadly Japanese society can be pretty harsh on certain things. Same with some other Asian cultures who's focus is similar. But he doesn't let any of that bother him and glares at people to keep their mouths shut.

• And if someone does say something straight to you? Their going on a list to give to his little brother. Daisuke has his ways of getting rid of others that bother him.

• But one day, when you were having a rough day and ended up coming to his place crying, and he found out that some guys from your college class were making rude comments? I don't think you'll ever see him that angry often.

• Let's just say those boys moved away hm?

• After all its not like you know about the basement under his bar. And you won't ever need to because he's careful about what he let's you see.

• As for if you're ever just having a rough day where you don't love yourself as much as other days Daisuke will drop what he's doing to just come wrap you up in a blanket and watch some ghibli movies.

• Even if it's not self love issues and just plain mental health bringing you down he'll still drop everything to make sure you're okay.

• And no matter what, he supports you! Just so long as you're not breaking up with him or leaving him in any way.

• Also Daisuke will always try to make a good impression on your parents and friends. He needs them to approve of you staying in Japan with him after all!

• But if your family and friends are toxic let's just say digging up some blackmail on them with the help of his family is enough to fix those problems-

• And Daisuke will always make sure that you're eating good! While he can't cook for shit he does make sure you're able to buy food and stuff you need on a college student schedule.

• And if you feel uncomfortable qith him buying you stuff he does it in a roundabout way. He'll mention that he has too much or bought bulk of something by accident. Or he'll ask to come over to your dorm and come with groceries cause he wanted you to cook something for him since you know about his inability to cook. And if there's extra groceries he'll chop it up to being an accident-

• He also hates if you skip meals. How are you supossed to maintain your beautiful figure if you aren't eating right?

• Also can and will help you find stores that carry your sizes. He's good at looking for the right places and even goes beforehand to a shop without you just to make sure it's a good shop with an atmosphere you'll like.

• He's a big stalker so he works very hard to figure out your likes and dislikes. He wants to make sure you're always happy ♡

• He knows it's probably difficult being in a different country and getting used to the culture there, but he'll just make sure that you have the best time!

You need to like it there so you can stay with him forever after all.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: The Animation Special Event ~ JOESTAR The Inherited Soul ~

I can’t believe I paid so much money for machine translated English subs...

Praying hard that we’ll get better subs in the archived video but I doubt it since the archived video on the streaming site is only until 5 April

~

No one’s in the audience so they’re just appearing in the aisles and made their way to the stage at the start of the event

~

They opened the event with some stats... I forgot to take a screenshot of it all lol

The one that stuck with me was there were 313 seiyuu to date...

and someone actually took the time to go through every script from all 5 parts to count the number of sokuon or small tsu ッ

~

Q&A

Jonathan Joestar aka Okitsu-san’s question to Giorno aka Ono Kensho: who do you think is your father, Dio or Jonathan?

Ono Kensho said they’re both his fathers. He then spent the rest of the event referring to Okitsu/Jonathan as his 半パパ han papa or half father lol

.

Sugita’s question: Is it true that Okitsu-san auditioned for Giorno Giovanna? Okitsu: How did you know?! S: that day I got a call from someone saying "yabai, Sugita. Okitsu-san is here for Giorno's audition too" Okitsu/everyone else: who? who? S: it was Part 5's Bruno... i mean, no one >_> Me: 🤣😂 will he ever not bring up his BFF apropos of nothing? please never stop doing that lol

the moment he started imitating that conversation, I knew™

.

loved Ono Daisuke referring to Okitsu as jii-chan no jii-chan aka Grandpa’s grandpa

and also Sugita doing his Unsho-san/old Joseph voice throughout the event lol

Ono Yuki is surprisingly chatty lol... He said that before Part 4 was announced, Sugita said he’d want Ono Yuki to play his son (Josuke) and he really did! He also said before they announced Part 5, he read the manga and heard Ono Kensho’s voice for Giorno.

JoJo Protagonists Best Scenes & Live Dubbing

They showed the best 3 scenes as voted by audiences and did a live dubbing of a famous scene from each part.

The scene they chose for Part 2 was Caesar’s death and I’m crying... It hits so differently when you’re watching the live dubbing... Such intensity! The entire atmosphere was solemn after Sugita basically bared his soul in that scream. I can’t tell but were there actual tears? I won’t be surprised if there were...

Voice actors are actors y’all

(edit: getting goosebumps just thinking about it while writing now)

~

Ono Daisuke: and finally, I would like to pass on the Joestar Soul to ...

Me: YATTA!

FAIROUZ AI IS CUJOH JOLYNE

.

Ono Daisuke: Nakamura also told me when we met the other time... [referring to Fairouz Ai] “Isn’t that Jolyne?”

He called her daughter and got everyone to say “welcome to the JoJo family” to her d’aww...

Okitsu-san welcoming her into the Joestar family, telling her everyone is here for her and they’re all her nakama in this JoJo journey omg i cry

oh no... she’s getting choked up too T_T Fai-chan said the pressure is great and she’s touched by everyone’s kindness and support and she’s gonna do her very best to continue the JoJo spirit

I CAN’T WAIT

~

They ended the event with a performance of the first JoJo opening song, JoJo ~Sono Chi no Sadame~ by Tominaga “TOMMY” Hiroaki. As they should.

Save Me *A Daiken Fic*

Daisuke thought they had lost everything, and they almost had. He had failed his team, and when he fell, the others followed. But nothing hurt as much as the realization that he had failed Ken, that he had almost lost Ken.

AKA

Daisuke suffers from PTSD/depression after the events of Digimon tri., and Ken is here to help!

AO3 | FF.Net

Ken stood on my doorstep. Perfect Ken with his silky black hair tucked behind one ear and his intense, blue-violet eyes searching my face with worry.

"Can I come in?"

Hell, even his voice is perfect—smooth and lilting like a song I need to learn the words to.

"Motomiya?"

But I just stand there, staring at him, unable to do anything but watch Ken's Adam's apple bob with an apprehensive swallow.

Ken clears his throat. "Dai…Daisuke? Let me in."

It's still a request, but the words, barely a whisper, are firm, commanding.

Finally, I step to the side, and Ken slips inside the apartment with a perfect grace no one should be allowed to possess. The door creaks shut behind his lithe form.

The apartment is eerily silent.

Ken, ever the observant one, notices immediately while he slips off his shoes. "Where is everyone? It's so…"

"Empty," I supply, speaking for the first time.

Ken studies me with those intense eyes, tearing down my walls, tearing down my very foundation with nothing more than his gaze.

I cough uncomfortably and move away from the front door. "My parents are having a date night, and Jun is hanging out with her crazy friends. They'll probably all be out late." I pause in the kitchen, but I can't think of anything I want to eat or drink and I don't know why I bothered to come in here. "Uh, you want a drink or something?"

When I glance up, Ken pauses next to the peninsula, blocking me in the kitchen. "They left you alone?"

I frown. "I asked them to."

He arches a perfectly sleek eyebrow.

"Okay, I told them to go have fun. They don't need to worry about me right now."

We four Chosen Children weren't the only ones whose lives were put on hold while we were comatose in the Digital World after all. Our families went through the ringer too, and as much as they dote on me after I got out of the hospital, my parents—hell, even Jun—deserve a nice relaxing night out. And I definitely enjoy not getting pestered or fretted over constantly.

Ken knows that just as well. His mom wouldn't stop crying in the hospital. Probably still hasn't stopped crying, knowing Mrs. Ichijouji.

To be fair, Ken was the last to wake up.

Apparently, getting your energy sucked from your body so an evil digital false Gennai can impersonate you as the Digimon Kaiser is exhausting.

His mother, tears streaming down her cheeks as she begged Ken not to leave again, never abandoned his side. And once I was allowed to walk short distances, neither did I.

"Hmm," Ken murmurs. "My mom barely let me come here tonight. She's scared."

I release a long sigh. Mrs. Ichijouji isn't the only one scared.

The minute Ken opened his eyes and saw two of his favorite people in his hospital room, he cried. I almost broke down at the sight, relieved and happy, worried and overwhelmed, but mostly so incredibly glad to have him back, to know he would be okay. Mrs. Ichijouji did break down.

Instead, I slipped from the room to give them privacy, and I didn't return.

Aside from a few short texts—including the one that pleased me most: Ken's announcement when he was released from the hospital, more than a week after my own release—we haven't spoken. Hell, this is the first I've seen Ken since the day he woke up.

Ken unbuttons his jacket, and the fabric slides down his shoulders and arms at a torturously slow pace—I can't keep my eyes off the garment and the pale skin its removal reveals. Ken's wearing a loose graphic tee with gold lettering underneath, and the way it hangs off his narrow frame, I'm almost certain it's a woman's shirt. With one short glance and that same intense eye contact, he moves to hang the jacket by the door.

I can only watch him.

Because Ken moves in soft steady steps, so light you can't hear, so smooth you can see the individual leg muscles move underneath his skin-tight jeans.

"I'm staying the night," he says as he twists around—I nearly strain my neck in an attempt to keep watching those perfectly lean muscles.

Then, I realize my eyes are glued to Ken's, ahem, package.

And Ken knows exactly where I'm looking.

And it's not because I was ogling Ken's ass while he was turned. That definitely didn't happen. I was simply admiring the toned muscles of a fellow athlete.

Body stiff, I look away. Look at anything else really.

Wait.

What did Ken say?

My eyes dart back to my best friend's face, where two beautifully sculpted eyebrows arch skeptically. "Huh?"

"I'm staying the night," Ken says again, not at all intimidated by the definitely-not-ass-ogling. "I already told my parents, and we both know yours won't mind."

No, of course. My parents adore Ken, have always adored Ken, probably wouldn't mind adopting him in place of me really—or at least, that's what I used to think. Either way, they'd be happy to know I'm not at home alone right now.

I swallow, trying to understand. "You didn't bring a bag. What about a toothbrush? A comb?" I hesitate, then practically whisper, "A change of clothes?"

"I decided on the way over," Ken admits with a secretive smile. "Called my mom before I got off at the Odaiba stop. She offered to drive me over some things, but I figured…you wouldn't mind sharing."

I laugh.

No, I don't mind sharing anything with Ken.

I nod slowly. Mostly because I don't know what else to do.

"Watch a movie?" Ken suggests in a soft voice. "In your room?"

I nod again.

And Ken turns down the hallway without another word, without waiting for me, and all I can do is stare, dumbfounded, in his wake.

Alone again, I move to the bathroom.

After washing up, I spend a long time staring at my pallid face in the mirror. My eyes look empty, hollow, and I can't smile like I want to. Like I'm supposed to.

I've always been the one keeping morale up, even if only with dumb jokes and (usually) good-natured teasing. No matter how insane or intense or dark things got, I brought the team back to earth, to ground them and encourage them so we could keep going.

Now, I'm not certain I can keep going.

Knock, knock.

"Dai? Everything okay?"

I turn on the faucet and splash cold water on my face before venturing to answer. "Y-yeah, just a sec." Then, I twist the water off and study my eyes again.

That water didn't make one lick of difference.

When I open the bathroom door a moment later, Ken leans against the opposite wall in bedclothes. I'm almost sad to see the skinny jeans go, until it registers Ken is wearing a pair of my own gym shorts, bright blue and white like V-mon, barely clinging to his hips. And still in his loose obviously-a-woman's-shirt, the low-hanging shorts show off a strip of smooth, alabaster midriff.

There's something positively sinful about the way Ken looks in just a pair of oversize gym shorts.

No, in my gym shorts.

"I can wear this, right?"

I nod, eyes sliding along that delightful strip of skin the way I want to slide my fingers and my tongue along there.

"Come on…"

Ken leads the way to my bedroom, and I follow only a few steps behind, gaze focused on the sashaying hips and pert ass beneath my gym shorts.

"What d'you wanna watch?" I ask as my bedroom door clicks into place behind us, and we're officially shut alone together in my bedroom.

Ken shrugs. "Anything you want, Dai." He sends me a small smile over his shoulder—I barely catch the friendly gesture, but it's definitely not because I'm staring at that beautifully pert ass in my gym shorts as he leans forward and grabs his phone from my nightstand. "I'm going to call my mom really quick to let her know I'm here and everything is alright."

He doesn't leave the room to make the call, only drops onto my rumpled bed and lies flat against the mattress, the shirt riding up to his belly button, his ebony hair splaying like a halo around his head. Then, he presses his phone to his ear. "Mama? Hey…"

I turn to the small TV and flip through our options. I don't particularly care what we watch; I probably won't pay attention anyway. I grab the nearest DVD without even registering what it is and tear open the box to slide the disk in, but I make sure not to turn on the TV until Ken concludes his phone call a minute later.

"Sorry about that." Ken offers an unnecessarily apologetic smile as he pushes up onto his elbows. "So what did you choose?"

I drop onto the bed beside him with a shrug, shoulders slumping forward. I really wasn't paying attention to which movie I put in. I have no idea what it is.

Instead of answering, I grab the remote and power on the TV. It's already on the menu, and I press play without a glance.

"Will you turn off the light?" Ken asks.

Here, I hesitate.

Not because it's an unreasonable request—it isn't—but there's a part of me that thinks lying on my bed in the dark with Ken isn't the smartest idea, no matter how many times we've shared a bed in the past three and a half years.

Of course, when have I ever listened to my instincts when Ken makes such a reasonable request?

Never.

I rise from the bed, and as I cross the room to the light switch, I tear my sweaty shirt over my head and drop it on the floor. Ken may have gotten dressed for bed, but I'm still wearing the day clothes I put on purely for my family's benefit. It's not like I went anywhere today. Or considered going anywhere today.

The room darkens dramatically once I flip the switch, and then, I tug at the button and zipper of my cargo shorts and shake them off by the door.

Then, wearing nothing but ratty socks and green and violet boxers, I pause.

We're almost fifteen now—Ken's birthday was technically while we were comatose, trapped in pods, barely fucking alive—and I typically sleep in just this these days. But even though we're older, we still do sleepovers, and I generally have the decency to wear an oversize T-shirt and pajama bottoms on those occasions.

I really don't want to bother with that now.

I don't want to bother with anything.

At the same time, the tension doesn't need amped up to twenty.

The closet is back by the bed, and I cross his field of vision to reach it and pull out a T-shirt at least.

"Your goggles…"

The words are quiet in the dark, but they make me freeze with the shirt only halfway down my torso.

I glance back toward the desk, where the goggles have been lying since I before I was released from the hospital. One of the lenses is cracked, and Mom had to clean a little blood off. I haven't had the heart to touch them in the weeks since we've been back.

"Senpai's goggles," I whisper.

But the movie's barely made a sound so far and Ken's hearing is superb. "No," he says, shaking his head firmly. "Taichi-san gave them to you for a reason, Dai. They're yours now."

I scoff.

I don't know what that reason was anymore.

"Besides," he adds, "Koushiro-san built him a new pair while we were…away."

My teeth grit at the ridiculous euphemism, and I tug the shirt down the rest of the way, but any words I might say are drowned out when the movie finally makes more than a quiet hum.

I glance at the TV. It's some sci-fi flick. I don't look long enough to register more than that.

"Oh," Ken says thoughtfully, his voice higher, musical and whimsical again, lightening the mood. "Good choice." He pats the bed next to him and flashes me a smile. "Come sit, Dai."

I didn't grab pajama pants like I meant to, but I swallow down any hesitation and slide onto the mattress next to him. Our arms brush, his knuckles grazing my clenched fist, and my breath hitches.

It's the most contact we've had since the day he woke up.

Hell, aside from my mom's vigorous hugs, it's the most physical contact I've experienced at all since that day.

It's been a few weeks now—I'm honestly not sure how many—but I've barely gone anywhere, barely seen anyone, haven't attended school. Mom and Dad haven't pushed the matter. Even Jun has been uncomfortably kind given the circumstances.

The other Chosen have stopped by. Hikari and Takeru, of course. A big group of everyone sometimes. Even Miyako came by once she was feeling up to it.

Taichi-senpai's visited the most, Yamato-san hovering close by every time. I watch as they exchange looks, communicating with no more than a silent glance, their bodies tilting and twisting toward each other no matter where they stand or what they do, their hands very much like this—grazing, just on the edge of consciousness, but never making full contact, toying with the idea of holding hands.

Yes, everyone has been so kind and understanding. It's unnerving, confusing. It's more than I deserve.

And it doesn't erase the never-ending apathy.

My eyes linger on Ken's pale hand, toying with the idea of threading our fingers together, with the idea of, for once, being the one who needs the contact instead of the one providing it.

But there's a reason I've kept my distance—from him and from everyone else.

When I woke up, it was slow. My brain was mush. It took a while to register where I was and who I was and what the hell happened to lead me to a hospital bed this time. But once I remembered, that one minuscule thought was all it took to remind me of our failure.

No, my failure.

We almost died.

I was the first to fall, and we almost died.

It was my fault.

I wasn't strong enough. How did I not know I wasn't strong enough? How could I have been so reckless, so goddamn arrogant?

We should have waited. We should have gotten Senpai and the others once we knew the full extent of the infection, once we realized how dangerous the situation was.

I should have asked for help.

I failed them.

Failed as a leader. As their captain. As the one who wears the fucking goggles.

I pull my hand away to pinch the bridge of my nose and struggle to breathe properly. Struggle to breathe period.

Then, Ken's cold, nimble fingers slide down the underside of my wrist, across my palm, and push their way between mine, forcing me to hold his hand. Forcing me to touch him.

I failed him.

I don't deserve to touch him.

My hand clutches his anyway, clinging to him, desperate for the contact.

His body presses against my side, chest against my arm, thigh against thigh, and he rests his forehead against my temple. His free hand lands on my abdomen, then inches up to lay his palm directly over my heart.

A silent sob racks my body, and I gasp for air.

His fingers grab a fistful of my shirt, and he nuzzles his nose against my cheekbone, the tip gathering some of the hot wet tears spilling from my clenched eyes.

"We're in this together," he murmurs. "We always will be, you know. You don't get to carry the burden all by yourself." He pauses, flattening his hand over my heart again, then he presses my hand over his. "I won't let you."

"I thought I lost you," I choke out. "You just—you were out for so long. You wouldn't wake up."

"Feel my heartbeat, Dai," he says, and I concentrate on the unsteady rhythm under my hand, somehow still in sync with the spastic thump inside my chest. "I'm right here. You won't lose me."

"Ken…"

His name is a plea. A prayer.

I realize I'm begging, but I don't know what I'm begging for.

"I'm here." He squeezes the hand still clasped in his. "And I'm not going anywhere. Not without you."

At last, I open my eyes and turn toward him, ready to say something. Anything that means something.

My words fail the moment I register how close we are, the moment I see his eyes glistening with unshed tears.

I swallow thickly and reach my free hand to cup his cheek, thumb stroking velvety skin. "Ken."

"Daisuke," he whispers, his breath grazing my skin, fogging my senses, shortening my breath.

His gaze falls to my mouth, and I wet my chapped lips.

Then, he closes the distance between us, and I am lost in the soft caress of his mouth on mine. My fingers thread through his silky hair and hold the nape of his neck, drawing him closer, and he opens his mouth with a soft sigh. His tongue traces the seam of my lips, and I accept him wholly, groaning when we meet in the middle as one.

Ken releases my hand, only to clutch my shirt and cling to me. A little whimper escapes his mouth—sends a jolt of electricity through my body.

He pulls back just enough to speak. "I don't want to lose you either," he murmurs before drawing me into another kiss, short though it may be. "You can't hide like this again."

"I know." I wrap an arm around his waist and gather him on top of me with ease.

Then, we're kissing again, soft and sensual and hot and wet everywhere. His legs spread over my core, straddle my hips, pin me to the mattress—and draw way too much attention to the point where our bodies meet. The gym shorts can't hide what's underneath, and fuck, my boxers can't either.

I drop back from the kiss, head bumping the wall, and hiss as his stiffening hard-on rubs against mine, even through layers of clothing. My body reacts immediately, cock at full attention now, and I clamp my eyes shut and jut up against him, unable to contain myself, desperate to be close to him.

But Ken doesn't miss a beat.

He rocks his hips, drawing an eager moan from my lips, and scrapes his fingers down my sides. When he finds the bottom hem, he shoves the shirt up and palms my abs, then gasps when I thrust again.

This time, when he says my name, he moans it. His head is thrown back, facing the ceiling, black hair disheveled, and his eyes are shut, mouth half open, breath coming in gasps. And he is the most beautiful person I've ever met. The most beautiful person in the world.

"Daisuke," he moans again, bucking against me, but this time, there's the Ichijouji determination hiding behind his arousal. He gathers himself together and casts his gaze down to meet my eyes, and his rocking slows but doesn't stop. "You can't keep things like this from me again. No secrets, understand?"

His eyes are bright violet with lust, and I can't think.

Fuck, I don't want to think.

I hate thinking, and I've done far too much of it lately.

Besides, he's too goddamn sexy riding me. Why would I ever want to think of anything else? Except, you know, doing this without the stupid clothing in the way.

But wait.

What was he saying again?

Ken's panting, but the intensity in his eyes is more than just lust, though he's still rocking his hips, the pace slower now so I can focus. "This wasn't your fault. You can't carry the blame, Daisuke. At least, you can't carry it alone, you hear me?"

I take his hand in mine and kiss the knuckles. "I hear you."

He takes a shaky breath, bucks against my cock a final time, and leans down, close enough to wipe the sweat and tears from my cheek. "You've saved me countless times," he whispers, then plants an affectionate kiss to my lips. "I wouldn't be who I am today without you. I'd probably be dead without you."

My hand tightens around his, and I shake my head, ready to tell him, Don't say that. Don't think like that. It'd never happen, dammit.

But he covers my mouth with another kiss and rests his forehead on mine. "Please, let me save you this time."

My eyes sting again, and I surge forward to capture his lips. Our mouths move together, eager, demanding, desperate, as if we've done this every day of our lives. And I know, without a doubt, I want to keep doing this for the foreseeable future. Fuck, beyond the foreseeable future. Maybe forever.

"Okay," I say when we break apart to gasp for air. "Yes, okay, save me."

As long as I can kiss him and touch him and hold him and just be with him, he can save me as much as he wants.

A, D, L, M :)

Aah, thank you! :D (I just realized I have no idea how this meme works. Do I have to name one character for each letter? All my favourites I can think of? What have I done???)

A: Alex Drake (Ashes To Ashes), aka my literal do I want to be her or be with her awakening, who am I even kidding. But her 80s outfits are awesome, okay, she is awesome, and I still cry for her every time I watch this show.

D: Daisuke Motomiya (Digimon), my precious and always underrated miracle child

L: Leonard McCoy (Star Trek). Just look at him when he’s 1000% done with everything (which happens like 99% of the time) - what’s not to love, honestly? Also, his friendships both with Kirk and Spock are some of the best things to ever happen to me.

M: Minerva McGonagall (Harry Potter) because to me she’ll always be the a) best and b) most badass teacher at Hogwarts. I mean honestly, she’s one of the few people in the HP universe who have their stuff together, has an actual idea of what she’s actually doing and, no matter how stern she acts, probably has the best sense of humour of them all.
