||20 Year Reunion||
prxcasis
Shingo wasn’t a very happy man. Despite being the envy of anyone looking to extend their life or appear much younger than they were, the blond felt bitterness over his appearance. Especially sitting next to the man that was his twin brother. Watching his nephew blow out birthday candles and looking as if he were Shingo’s twin instead of his brother’s son. They’d long since been unable to celebrate such occasions together. Around the thirty year mark, it became too unbelievable to tell restaurants and other people that they were in fact born on the same day so Shingo began celebrating those days on his own.
And who was to blame for this curse? That bastard Sei. The man he’d thought wanted a one night stand or even a short friends-with-benefits type arrangement to get over an ex. The man that had used Shingo and cursed him. Whether it be some sort of spell or other type of enchantment, the blond was convinced he was cursed. How else was he to explain the fact that he hadn’t aged a day since that night twenty whole years ago? Even his boss, Natsuki, was convinced of it. And seeing as the man was an expert of sorts on immortality, Shingo trusted his word.
A puff of dark, blue smoke and the smell of ozone filled the air. Encompassing Shingo to swallow him up and deposit him a few miles away at a bar. That same bar. The same barstool. Even the same drink. Just as he was so long ago. Take away the improvements to the decor and technology around them and someone who’d been there that night wouldn’t even know the difference.
