#gojo and being a fire—bright and unstainable

[lilliesinthevalley]

does suguru canonically smoke? i like to imagine that if he does, satoru double-takes whenever he catches the smell of tobacco on the wind, spins around in the middle of busy city streets, ignores the way his heart thuds at every flash of long black hair. he buys a pack of cigarettes on suguru’s birthday the first year after, lights one just to watch it burn. he used to complain about the way the scent of smoke would settle into suguru’s clothes. how his mouth would taste like nicotine late at night. how his hands were dotted with burn scars after years of fumbling around with cheap lighters. and satoru has six eyes, has a brain that cannot stop conjuring suguru in all of his blind spots. but the lack of light after the last cigarette in his pack burns out to ash is as close to nothing as he’s ever seen.
