[Is it crueler to let Ren keep this spark of hope for what they two of them will never have? Or is it kinder to break this thing between them off now, to sever their connection completely and hope that it makes Ren hate him?
For a boy who has always known exactly what he wanted and pressed on relentlessly towards it, even when it was so far out of reach, for once, Akechi just doesn't know. What Ren wants is obvious, but what does he want? Does it even matter? Is giving himself a spark of hope even worse than giving it to Ren? Would he even allow himself to consider buckling?
Akechi's hand rests over Ren's wrist, the other boy's fingers pressed over his heart.]
