Rooftop Kisses

There was something very special about holding Ankh’s Greeed hand to Eiji. To him, it was if he was holding all of Ankh— his very being enveloped in the warmth of his hands. Eiji was always delicate whenever handling that arm as a whole because of this.

They sat on a rooftop. A sunset laid over top them, coloring the town they had traveled to in warm tones. It was a beautiful sight. And getting to experience picture-perfect moments like this with Ankh now made them even better.

With a soft smile, Eiji gently picked up Ankh’s Greeed hand and pressed his lips to it. Ankh’s face contorted in confusion at every step, his neck pushed out forwards just like the birds he was created in the image of.

Though he didn’t pull his hand away. A sign to Eiji that he must have enjoyed it to at least some extent.

Ankh’s eyebrow was still arched. “What was that for?”

“I just wanted to.” Eiji’s dimples showed themselves in full as he smiled.

Ankh moved his gaze back out to the sky, “You keep wanting things now.”

“You think so?”

“I know so, idiot.” Ankh looked back to Eiji. “…That’s a good thing.”

Eiji felt something stir within him as Ankh said that. He remembered vividly how he was before Ankh entered his life. Someone void of wanting anything, and ready to sacrifice himself at any notice to protect and help others.

Somewhere along the way after they crossed paths, when Ankh gave Eiji the power of Os, Ankh’s greediness rubbed off on him.

Looking back on it all, Eiji was grateful for that. Because that greed changed him for the better.

Eiji placed a kiss on Ankh’s hand once more. “Thank you.”

Ankh’s head tilted, he was visibly confused again. “Huh? For what?”

“Everything.”

Ankh could feel how genuine his words were, and that made countless emotions bubble up inside of him too.

Instead of trying to say something, he let his actions do the talking for him as he gave Eiji a kiss.
