Fics like so call me when the bugs don’t die

“He didn’t like ants as much as I do, did he?” Yoshiki’s voice startles Hikaru, his eyes snapping open. Hikaru stares forward, at Yoshiki’s back, letting the words sink in as he considers him. His shoulders are drawn tight together, pinched, his shirt perfectly tucked in and back ramrod-straight — that’s familiar. So is the mole just behind the shell of his ear. But his hair is longer now; it’s brushing down against his nape in a way Yoshiki rarely let happen before. It’s a wonder Satoko hasn’t forced him to sit down for a haircut yet. That’s not what Hikaru should be thinking about, though. “…nah. He liked ‘em fine — he used to watch videos ‘bout them all the time — but he preferred spiders if ya asked him. Why’dya ask?” “Dunno. Kaoru said somethin’ the other day.” Hikaru can’t see Yoshiki’s face but he can imagine it. His downturned eyes and little droopy mouth. “Said she doesn’t get why I’m suddenly so obsessed with ‘em.” Or; Hikaru learns about the nature of ants, and contemplates the difference between Yoshiki and Yoshiki.
