May triumph always be yours, Mydeimos.

sick, unserious thought but it fucks me up knowing just how much devotion is engraved into sae and rin’s bones.

they’re both people who are all-or-nothing types, when it comes to love and life. they do not put in effort into a future that are not fruitful, into people that they do not consider worthy of their time. though the simple difference between them is sae is more of the go-getter between the two in a way where, once he decides on being with you, he gives everything. there’s no place you could go without him carefully watching over you and giving you his hand any time you needed it. it’s the older brother instincts in him that allows you to trip over your footsteps, yet present to bandage your bruised knees. he’s the one who’s there when you feel alone, he makes sure he’s the one who knows you best. he will not take defeat when it comes to you. sae’s love comes as presence, spoken with actions, feels firm like a smooth stone that fits the palm of your hands. it holds warmth.

rin struggles with the acceptance of his own emotions at first because of how much he fears the possible rejection and abandonment. he’s conscious of the underlying intention of giving himself up to you— the simple thought is just as foreign as it is loving someone wholly with his heart. but if you gave him that time, that security, that feeling of safety in your arms, then there could be nothing and nobody could ever sway him from doing anything for you. it seems so bizarre from an outside perspective, but your voice is placed at such a high pedestal to rin. it’s more than vocal cords, but the thoughts and wishes you have for him and others, he considers them as demands— requests even if you don’t intend them to be because if there’s something he can do for you, he will do it. all of rin’s love comes as acknowledgment, to be thought of, to be considered a helping hand, it feels like a melting popsicle on a hot summer day. sticky, sweet, refreshing.
