    Summary

    “Messenger,” he says, as respectfully as he can manage while sprawled face-down on the floor, seeping agonising heat from his neck.

    “Call me Kayne,” says Kayne cheerily. “Who wants to be a messenger nowadays?”

    He scoots closer, whistles as though impressed. “Wow! It really is you in there! Had to see it to believe it—hah, see, you get it? Cause you can actually see me—“

     
    aka, instead of gaining Yellow, Arthur and the King in Yellow swap bodies. All alone and human in a cabin outside of Addison, the King must grapple with who he is without John. (Arthur, meanwhile, can barely tell up from down).
    Originally written for a prompt, but turned too odd and introspective to suit.

    Summary

    Now with a body of his own, John finds himself dwelling on certain thoughts that he once avoided. In particular: the nature of the act of consuming. The mortal need for sustenance. Some of the things they’ve had to do to survive… and his own, newly-made corporeal form, that has gone so perfectly untouched by them all.

    In the end, he comes to one very simple conclusion. He wants visible proof of everything he's survived, and he wants to give something back to his friend. There's one easy way for him to have both.

    Summary

    Hikaru shifted closer, one hand steadying himself on the futon beside Yoshiki. His voice dropped to a soft whisper, eyes wide and tender—so soft that it almost hurt to look at him. “I really love you, y’know,” he said. “As long as you love me back… as long as you only look at me… I’ll do anything for you.”

    Yoshiki let out a shaky breath, their lips brushing together briefly. Horrified by what this creature was but aching with a desperate longing for Hikaru, he murmured, “Don’t say that.”

    “But it’s true,” Hikaru insisted, his voice barely audible. “You’re the only thing that ever made me happy. Even before I was this… even when I was just a shadow drifting on a mountain. It’s always been you.”
