[hanashii]

wait guys hear me out the alkadf cover of yoru ni kakeru right right you've all seen it (you better have)

OK SO HIIRO AND AIRA HAVE ONE LINE TOGETHER. AM I SLIGHTLY UPSET? YES. BUT CAN I SHRUG IT OFF? DEFINITELY BECAUSE THE LINE ASSIGNED TO THEM IS GREAT

the line they sing together is "don't let go of my hand" (繋いだ手を離さないでよ) and has now become my favorite lyric of yoru ni kakeru ANYWAY THAT LYRIC- hear me out ok- IS SOMEWHAT OF A REFERENCE TO THE MAIN STORY OF ENSTARS?? (!! era ofc) LIKE AIRA SAID SOMETHING ABOUT FEELING SAFE WHEN HOLDING HIIRO'S HAND

CASE. CASE IN POINT:

I DONT KNOW. ITS JUST. A THING I REALIZED AND IM FREAKING OUT ABOUT IT

there's also this:

idk. guys hiiai and handholding we should make it a thing

anyway go listen to the cover it slaps so hard

[gardenofcamellias]

gonna begin dumping all the short scenes that will probably never (but never say never) get put into a full fic cause my time management is horrible 😭

anyways here's a hiiai scene cause you already know i love hiiai ♠️♥️

context: au where fairies overlook and protect the human world because there is a prophecy that one day a human, nicknamed "the Savior," is supposed protect and save the world from a group of magicians (here i called them "the Guild") who terrorize the land with their magic in order to rule over all the non-magic wielding humans. only the Savior can use and control a special amulet that can stop the Guild. in the prophecy, the fairy that guides and protects the Savior is supposed to sacrifice themself so that the Savior can do their duty.

guess who is the fairy and who is the Savior :,)

right before this scene, the Guild blackmailed Hiiro into trading Aira for the amulet Hiiro can control. if Hiiro did not agree, Aira would be killed. you can probably guess what Hiiro did *winky face*

{scene start under cut}

“Sacrificing you to get the amulet back was probably the best chance we had to stop the Guild and save our world. I knew that. Deep down, I knew that. I knew that your death would save the hundreds, no, thousands of people that would be hurt while the amulet was in the possession of the Guild.”

Aira tightened his grip on Hiiro’s jacket, barely trying to conceal his sobs anymore. “Then why—!”

“—because I heard you crying. When they were torturing you, and you started crying from the pain they were putting you through, I couldn’t handle it. Not when it’s you,” Hiiro confessed. “It was at that moment, I realized it wasn’t worth it. If getting back the amulet and letting you die was the only way to save our world, it wasn’t worth it.”

At this point, Aira was barely hanging on, his sobs rocked his body. Hiiro rested a gentle hand on Aira’s arm that was still holding him, a sad but content smile on his face. That only pissed off Aira more. “What do you mean?! Are you crazy?! That’s the only reason I’m here, Hiro.” Aira looked over at his right hand and saw he was gripping the part of clothes that was above Hiiro’s heart. “The only reason I was born was because I’m supposed to protect you. That’s what fairies do. I’m supposed to sacrifice myself so you can go on to save our world…”

“...our world isn’t worth saving if you aren’t in it.”

Aira felt his heart stop. No... It can't be... there was no way Hiro would feel this way about me.

Aira shook his head. He felt the dryness of his throat creeping in his voice, but he continued. "Hiro... Do you even know what you are saying?"

"I do," Hiiro said confidently. He moved his hands so now they were resting on both sides of Aira's face. "In fact, I don't I did anything wrong. I am supposed to save the world, so that's what I did."

Hiiro places a gentle kiss on Aira's lips. It's fleeting, but Aira cherished it all the same.

"Aira, you are my world."

•••

Aira came to the conclusion that there was no way he was the fairy in the prophecy. Those types of fairies foretold in scriptures always had grand ideas and noble ambitions. But, the only thing Aira wanted to do was rest in Hiiro's embrace forever.

Let some other fairy be the brave hero that would save the world. Aira was just fine where he was. From now on, he would still protect Hiiro. But, he would never leave his side. No matter what trials and tribulations they would encounter, they would face them together. When they both grow old together, they can find a beautiful house to live in, where their only responsibility to the world was to take care of each other, until death does them part.

if you read this: thank you 🥹🙇‍♀️🫶 hiiai soulmates so true
