There was no counting how many times before he'd been caught, held captive for agonizing seconds before lips brushed against his forehead or his cheek. Sweet. Innocent. The affection of childhood friends.
And then the whole world fell apart around him. Dead and dying, everyone he'd ever cherished, lost to him so suddenly. Everyone save one.
“Nekochan, don't cry....”
Lips that kissed his tears away, arms that held him close, voice that whispered he would always belong to him. They were betrothed, after all. It was only natural. Shy at first, then increasingly desperate. Needy. Nothing was going to take Gackt away from him, not their families, not society, not tradition, nothing. Gackt was everything that was stable and right in his universe, his only safety in a world gone mad.
“Don't cry, nekochan. You still have me. You'll always have me, I promise. And you know I always keep my promises.”
Against his will, a smile turned his lips. Yes, he still had Gackt. He would always have Gackt. Nothing was going to change that, not while he had strength to fight.
“No matter what, nekochan, I promise. You belong to me, always. Just as I belong to you.”
