#mind works. he just thinks abt momo like this eternally.

[necrosin]

not for the first, hundredth, thousandth, and certainly not last time it occurs to yuki how very lucky he is in many ways, but especially with how gentle and caring his beloved is with him. in spite of popular perception, he's entirely aware of his own tendency for the dramatics, of which momo is happy to go along with and make room for, day after day / FOR THE REST OF TIME, if yuki has his way. ( luckily, he tends to get his way with momo : that's the benefit of his honey spoiling him so very much. ) yuki takes the hand offered to them and a fleeting thought appears and is gone again : of momo's hands and his hands, intertwined forevermore, like two souls. ❝ if you put it that way i can certainly muster up the energy for you, ❞ the trick with their married couple act is simply that yuki says whatever he wants from the very bottom of his heart when it comes to momo, and it simply tends to work. many may believe that it's simply an ACT, but yuki can count on one hand the number of times he had put on any form of pretense when it came to momo —— and while he may hate running, especially outdoors when it feels as though he's BAKING UNDERNEATH THE SUN ( alright, musikdrama ) he would do just about anything for momo. that's why he had agreed to this to start with / but sometimes you just need to complain, right? ❝ there's no rule, but it's best to get it over with, ❞ it's a bad idea, honestly, one that will surely end with yuki collapsed at the finish line and utterly incapable of moving for at least two hours, but he has momo to take care of him. also, if he stops again, yuki is fairly certain he just won't finish. ❝ lead the way, ❞ he squeezes momo's hand, reluctant as ever to let go, but always willing to follow him wheresoever he may go.

the way his head falls back in laughter was completely genuine, though momo wouldn’t be surprised if it was taken as another of their performances. there’s no helping the lovestruck expression at how yuki manages to gather up the courage to keep going ( momo doesn’t think anyone would be all that surprised if he called for a break or simply decided he couldn’t make it all the way to the end ) and a hand is extended out for the other to take hold — for forever, if yuki wanted to. ❛ of course i’m energetic! it’s a beautiful day, everyone is gathered together, and yuki is running with me! ❜ there was so much excitement coursing through his veins that momo could easily run to the finish line and back within record time (he won’t, because yuki is holding on to his hand and momo wouldn’t dream of dragging him along for any more running than what’s already required! ) hands give squeezes of encouragement to yuki’s hand, ready to continue forward whenever the other was. they could run any race, at any pace — so long as yuki was there, beside him. ❛ if i’m running with my darling, then any speed is the perfect speed!❜ but he makes sure to drop his voice an octave, to show the genuinity of his next words. ❛ just let me know if you need to take a break, okay? there’s no rule that says we have to run this in one sitting, after all! ❜ and so body is poised and at the ready to continue forward, ready to run towards their finish line!
