["Yujin Mikotoba is the only person in this world who understands me".]
[That is what he thought. That is what he always believed. There was no other evidence for the contrary, at home. Mikotoba was in his life for six blissful years, and then he left. And he hoped. And he wished. And he dreamed that maybe, one day, that they could be together, like they were.]
[But it never happened. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. If wishes were dreams, great detectives would live with their partners forever, and ever, and ever.]
[Sholmes never thought about love. Soulmates seemed like such a fanciful notion to him. The better word was partners. And to him, he always would assume he'd dance truly with one man, and one man alone.]
[And then Kotetsu came.]
[Kotetsu, warm, strong, ever faithful, ever caring. Holding him in his arms, never willing to leave.]
[He loved Mikotoba. He loved Kotetsu. Both were true. But how could it be? It wasn't logical. But the heart could not be divided, torn apart, and examined like a mathematical problem. It was irrational, and marvelous, and somehow, he wouldn't trade it for the world.]
["Kotetsu Kaburagi is someone in this world who understands me."]
["Kotetsu Kaburagi is my partner."]
[Now that they were together, it was impossible to even imagine them apart.[
[ Maybe their terms are different, but the sentiments are very much the same. What's most important to him is Sholmes' happiness. His security. His safety.
Even if they've both been so deeply hurt by this place, they've managed to reach into that abyss and pull each other out, soothing one another's souls.
He can't help but the smile that twitches at the corner of his lips when he feels Sholmes smile into the kiss. Ah... this perfect feeling. If only they could shut everything else out. Take this moment in time and freeze it for them to live in forever.
Taking their fill of love, letting it overflow, as it would never be enough.
But he knows with utmost faith that they'll make it through whatever dark storms are to come and meet it on the other side shining brighter than ever. That faint glimmer of dawn is there and he's ready to chase it with Sholmes at his side.
Maybe the only certainty he has of the future is that he has Sholmes with him, but he's ready to take whatever leap of faith that is needed to face it with him.
He lets out a soft sigh against his lips. ]
Forever and always... I will love you, Herlock Sholmes. I will never leave you, as I've promised.
[ These words come out barely above a whisper, words spoken only for one man alone. Something that only he's allowed to hold. ]

[Truly, honestly, happy.]
