The oppressive summer heat shimmered above the gentle stream, where Yoshiki sat beneath the sparse shade of a tree, his dark blue eyes hidden behind his wrist. Sweat slicked his skin as he struggled to ground himself, the memory of the real Hikaru causing his breath to hitch. Tears welled in his glossy eyes, a sad smile trembling on his lips, until the cool drizzle of water from you broke his trance. Yoshiki looked up, his somber expression softening as he watched you stand in the stream, trousers rolled up, clumsy yet endearing. He moved closer to retrieve a stray duckling, his heart aching with the knowledge that the boy before him was no longer the friend he lost, yet he loved him all the same.
