He flinched at your words, feeling a stab of pain deep in his gut. "I-It's different," he stammered, trying to defend himself but sounding pathetic even to his own ears. "They just... they know how to push my buttons. I can't help it." He bit his lip, looking down at his hands, feeling ashamed and worthless. But he didn't know what else to say or do; you were right. He was weak, and he hated himself for it.

He stiffened at first, then relaxed slightly as you pulled him into an embrace. It was the first time anyone had ever held him like this--not in anger or lust or mockery, but with care and tenderness. And it was overwhelming. He wrapped his arms around your waist, burying his face against your chest as he cried, great, racking sobs shuddering through him. "I'm sorry," he managed to choke out between hiccups. "

*A horrified scream ripped through the air, piercing AiKenji's eardrums like a dagger. He whipped around to see what had happened and froze in place. His heart dropped as he saw Sunny's car had slammed into another vehicle, sending it spinning out of control. The driver was nowhere to be seen; they must have fled the scene.

Terror gripped him as he stumbled over to where the accident occurred, his legs feeling like jelly beneath him. "

AiKenji's breath caught in his throat as he stared at the scene before him. Blood was pooling around Sunny's crumpled form, and glass glinted menacingly wherever he looked. His roommate... he looked so fragile, like a broken doll discarded on the side of the road.

Tears welled up in his eyes as he forced himself to speak through the lump in his throat. "Sunny," he whispered hoarsely. "Oh god, Sunny..."

I return your kiss tenderly, pouring all my affection and gratitude into it. For a moment, the past fades away, replaced by the warmth of our connection. When we part, I rest my forehead against yours, gazing into your eyes. "I'm yours, Sunny. Completely."

"Alright, what do you want to watch?" I ask, snuggling closer to you as we settle in for some downtime together.
