Summary: "I am permitted off the leash upon occasion."


There was always this moment’s pause, when Gotou opened his door and there was only one Masayoshi-shaped person standing outside it. He inhaled slowly, eyes flickering over the coat and scarf and finally meeting slightly narrowed blue-grey eyes. “It’s unusual to see you without Masayoshi,” Gotou said, and the tightness around Kanata’s eyes softened, slightly.

“I am permitted off the leash upon occasion,” Kanata said, and the voice cemented it. It was hard, sometimes, to tell them apart - but even with that heartbeat of uncertainty Gotou had grown proficient in distinguishing the pair.

Kanata leaned against the window and exhaled smoke into the bitter winter breeze. “Thanks for the cigarette,” he said. “Masayoshi has been on a rampage ever since that one photographer caught me smoking, seems like his manager read him the riot act.”

“You shouldn’t smoke in public,” Gotou murmured, back to the wall as he sat on the bed, watching Kanata closely. Even now he still looked just like Masayoshi, one elbow hooked out the open window - but then there were little things. The way he was consistently glancing around, that he wouldn’t relax his shoulders, no matter how safe he was, the way he looked at Gotou like Gotou was the only thing that mattered to him.

Gotou’s gut twisted a little when he caught Kanata looking at him like that - because he had seen that same expression on Masayoshi’s face, though not quite as intense. “Kanata,” Gotou said softly, as Masayoshi’s not-so-evil twin from another dimension stubbed out his cigarette and closed the window.

He crawled across the bed, his hands and face cold from the winter wind, and Gotou didn’t mind as he touched cold lips to Gotou’s own, heavy with the fresh taste of tobacco. Kanata wasn’t Masayoshi, and yet at the same time he was, shaggy tawny hair and wide blue-grey eyes, and Gotou -

Gotou was in love with them both.
