Fics like old habits (and phantom pain)

Times like this, quiet moments at the edge of evening, Genya's absence was like a rock sitting on his chest, choking all air. There was an almost self-flagellating pleasure in staying in Genya's room, in such proximity to where he'd spent his life. Not dissimilar to the stinging satisfaction he used to feel when slicing into his own skin during a fight to use his marechi. Now, there was no comfort in the heavy realization of all he'd never see again. All he'd never know about the little brother who had spent his life chasing after him, just trying to be known. He balled his hands into fists. * After Infinity Castle, the death of his brother and his everything, Sanemi tries to follow the last instructions Genya left for him. Giyuu, who understands exactly what it's like to lose your everything, and with some phantom pain of his own, tries to help him live on with the unthinkable. Taking care of the newly Kocho-less Butterfly Girls is a start; Sanemi is a skilled big-brother after all. As Sanemi and Giyuu fight through the pain of absence they realize they've found more in each other's presence than either was ready for.
