a winter labyrinth

[townmusician]

断ち切るしかないんだろ
注いだ冬は心のラビリンス
後戻りなんて出来ないから
やりきるしかないんだろ
黒い気持ちと手を繋いだって構わない
抱きしめたっていいh

I have to break free
This pouring winter is my heart's labyrinth
I can't go back anymore, so
I have to finish this
I don't care if you took my hand with dark motives
I want you to hold me close

[...

He reaches down, tilting Shalem's head up to look him in the eyes. It's not a big secret that one of the things Haruka hates most about himself is that he's weak-willed and too desperate to make other people happy, that all he wants is to be wanted, and even with the worst parts of him at the surface that fact remains.

He strokes Shalem's cheek with his thumb.]

...Why don't we try out a collaboration? Maybe we could make something fun.

[is haruka down for murder....... he might be.....]

Combine our arts and see what happens.

[Shalem smiles up at him, before tilting his head and kissing Haruka's palm.]

I'm amenable to that. Let us... make a lasting impression on everyone. Something that will stay with them forever.

[Now he places his hands on Haruka's hips, pushing his waistband down as far as it'll go.]

[townmusician]

Alright, sounds like a good play.

[They should have enough time, if they're quick... Nobody will notice them being missing, at any rate, with reality being what the Shadow wants, here, so he lets Shalem do as he pleases, toying with his hair all the while.]

I guess now you can have your "compensation".

[prozaic]

I wouldn't call this compensation, Haruka. More... The signing of an agreement for the future. A handshake, if you will. [Then he smirks up at Haruka, before tugging on him to pull him into his lap. Because of course, it would be a better position to do this, rather than Haruka just staying on the armrest.] A much better handshake.

[Much better and much more strenuous! Let's see if a Shadow can keep up with him, even if Shalem will not be giving him both at the same time.]
