Summary
Kyo wakes up cramped against the wall, Tohru's face pressed in between his shoulder blades. Her limbs take up most of their bed. She stole his half of the blanket in her sleep.
He wakes up, and loving her feels quiet and languid now. Like a slow dance or a photograph.

Summary
It would've been so easy to pass on his curse—Kyo can't help but think about it, even now. His true form, his own father's rage, all of his darker pieces. But both of their sons, he's beginning to realize, are a reflection of Tohru. Radiant, like an overwhelming light.
His children haven't inherited the burden of being a monster. He hopes he can give them something better.

Summary
He's sixteen already, almost as tall as Kyo. He's moving for high school, leaving home like an adult—but right now, he looks like a young boy all over again. He fidgets with the sleeve of his sweater. He stares up at Kyo, brows furrowed like he's anxious. More than anything, his eyes spark with determination.
He looks young, but Kyo feels younger. Smaller. Not cut out for this.

Summary
For years, the curse took so much from Kyo. Even now, it makes itself remembered. As long as the sun forgets to shine some days, he'll never really be allowed to forget.

"Alright, alright. Let's go play outside."
