Anthos's action was sudden but not unwelcome. That fierce countenance, the one he had come to know as they had talked, was broken in what was probably the same way it had been all those years ago. He knew memories could sting and bite into the present, but he also knew how to use the weakness of others to his greatest advantage. Despite any kind of connection he now felt to this man, Beyond knew what he wanted. He would get what he wanted, even from a kindred spirit such as what he found in Anthos.
He ran a hand through the other's dark hair the way he always did Raito when he was stressed, the other limb wrapping tightly around Anthos's back and pulling him closer. Ah, how did he turn into such a sap? The old Beyond would have dismissed the other man's wants in a heartbeat the moment he found an opening, but now he was compelled to be tender. Even with Raito, things had started that way, but now... A cord had been struck, perhaps? He might never know. All he knew was that he was sitting in the grass with someone just as broken as himself, wondering what would come of this next.
