Fai made a sound, then laughed again when he realized that that was what it was-- dry and pale, and a little hysterical, but. Well, if this wasn't the the last thing he could have expected, then it was very nearly the last.
The very first thing Yuui had done, this Yuui, was reach out to touch him. Now Fai did the same, blood-thin wrists and ice-bone fingers coming up to touch his twin, skin-to-skin again, for the first time in all of eternity. He had blood on his palms, dried to black dust, his hair was a mat of ice and tangles, he was a skeleton-child, looking out from a face of bones, and none of it mattered. Because this was real, Yuui was real, and it hurt in his chest like a bonfire-- he trusted that pain, because only true things could hurt that well.
"Yuui... Please, take us away from here," His brother was like a furnace under Fai's hands, and already the numbness was beginning to recede, "Take me with you, and let's go."
