"Is this okay?" with aoilight ;)
I’ll probably do another one of these with less plot but yes. Excellent. Thank you. @dragontealth here’s the Aoi light with plot, set in the middle of the radical six outbreak.
“Is this okay?” Aoi muttered.
His eyes flickered to the crackling radio in the corner. It was pretty much useless these days, so deep into the end of the world. Occasionally though, the odd trickle of news would bleed through the walls people had quarantined themselves in.
But most days it was static. White noise. But they kept it on, grateful of the background noise. It was better than their alternative.
Light hummed. “Is what okay?” He was met with a jab to his side.
“You fuckin’ know what. You might be blind as shit but you’re the smartest person I know.”
“I don’t think that means all that much, love. Not with your track record of being so approachable and charming,” Light laughed lightly. “And now… not many people left to know.”
Aoi didn’t say anything. He allowed his hand to slip into his fiancé. Once upon a time, they were getting married. They still were, once they found Clover and Akane was finally over all this bullshit secret business.
“I know you do, Aoi. You won’t let me leave without making sure I’m aware of it.” Light smiled at the many times it had happened, the moments playing out in his mind’s eye.
The first time, a long time ago now; months after the first nonary game, an accidental slip of the tongue. A couple more months. A chaste kiss, Light’s name on the then young Aoi’s lips.
Then he had disappeared, to reappear years later under the name of Santa. And the cycle began again.
A nonary game. Months trying to find him, trying to make something of the two of them. But it always ended with something good, always with the two of them together.
Maybe they had magnets inside of them. Magnetised to each other.
Then the end of the world struck, the disease that rampaged Japan and maybe even outside there. News connections had withered quickly. Of course, Clover had gone missing.
Light needed Aoi, someone he loved to be by his side. To help him. So he found him. He let the magnet lead him to Aoi Kurashiki.
Light snapped back to the real world.
“I love you too,” Light murmured into Aoi’s shoulder. “I’m happy you’re here with me.”
“You still didn’t answer my question,” Aoi pointed out. “So tell me, is this okay?”
“We don’t have a choice, Aoi. It’s this or risking infection. Risking a 75% kill rate, and I can’t have that. I will not lose you too.”
Aoi pulled Light up from the crook of his neck. “Shut up.” He kissed his fiancé’s lips, silencing any protest that tried to escape. “Shut up.”
“You are not gonna lose me. You hear me? I ain’t dying because of some shitty ass disease. I’m gonna be that 25% and god help me, you are too.”
“I swear. Hope, faith, love and luck. All that shit. I love you too much to think I’m gonna die. I won’t. You won’t.
And we’ll find Clover and we’ll get Akane and we’ll leave Japan. We’ll go wherever Hazuki- Lotus - went. We aren’t any safer here, infection is in here as well as outside.”
Light pulled away. “Is that what you were asking? If it was okay to stay here, amongst all this war and death in Japan when the rest of the world is safer?”
Aoi tugged on the hairs at the name of his neck. “Yeah. I know you don’t wanna leave because of Clover, we don’t know where she is but like… it’s SOIS. Would they really stick around when they got places in the Nevada desert?” Aoi sighed. “Is it okay to risk everything for something we don’t even know will end up good?”
The radio static continued in the silence between them.
“I risked that for you. And I’d do it again,” Light admitted. “You would too.”
Aoi nudged Light. “Shut it. Quit reading me like a fuckin’ book.”
Light smiled as he stole a kiss. “Yeah~” he sang. “That’s why I’m gonna marry you.”
“You better. Akane would kill me, I talk about you too much according to her.”
“Ha.” Light lay back on the bed. “Sap.”
“Eat my ass, Light.” Aoi shoved an obscene gesture into Light’s face, though he couldn’t see it. It had become an old habit by now. Aoi flopped down against Light’s chest.
“You need to work on your insults, dear.”
Aoi hadn’t the strength to come up with a witty retort. He settled for wrapping his arm’s around Light’s torso and listening to his slow, steady heart rate.
There was a magnet inside the two of them. Now, with the two of them entangled together, the magnets were together.
They were together, even through Radical-6. They were okay.
