“I felt the same the first time around,” Katsuki admits, head ducked. “Came across all this epic shit back when I was studying literature. But once I read that fucking thing and saw the sculpture-"

Pause.

His voice dips low, tone softening to something faint and slightly haunted. Shouto creeps into the crevasse he created. The next words nearly shatter the self-imposed distance entirely.

“It changed a lot for me. Nothing was the same since.”

A revelation lingers here, laced in desperation. The weight of it sits on Shouto’s lungs.

“Was it worth it?” he whispers, agonisingly hopeful and fiercely afraid all at once.

Rustling between them are the pages of the epic, a story that should not belong to them. When Katsuki looks at him, those eyes are gleaming with searing affection that is wholly staggering. For him. For this.

“Of course it was, dumbass.”

My dearest love, his voice says from a place deeper than his heart, older than his bones, I have been returned.
