Fics like for granted, in vain, i took everything i ever cared about

There’s no regret tainting Yuuji’s voice when he says, “Satoru kissed me.” He sounds quietly happy when he compresses days’ worth of flesh hunger into a few words. And he seems genuinely apologetic when he turns around and looks Satoru right in the eye to say, “This is pretty weird, isn’t it? Sorry, Gojou-sensei.” Yuuji, Satoru realizes, has a peculiar way of hiding his pain. He thinks of this boy in that crematorium in Sendai, carefully picking up his grandfather’s bones with a strong, dry gaze. The lack of grief was not for a lack of love; even Satoru could tell that much. He figured out a while later, watching Yuuji grin wide while his newly regrown heart thumped in his chest, that the lack of pain wasn’t a lack at all. It was just tucked away quietly somewhere Satoru couldn’t see or reach. It’s strange to look at Yuuji’s awkward smile and know with bone-deep certainty that the seventeen-year-old ghost who sunk his teeth into his heart is now one such quiet grief. Satoru navigates the aftermath of an accidental de-aging incident that led to his own teen self romancing and bedding his favorite student. Meanwhile, October 31st creeps closer.
