But out of this astounding, intolerable pain came joy; we gave each other joy that night.

“And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone. [...] When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him.” 🩸
“In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.” 🌻
Two souls, reunited.
(quotes from Madelline Miller's The Song Of Achilles)

Nanami likes to watch the way his wife's fingers wrap around Higuruma's cock. He leans back into his seat in front of the fireplace in Higuruma's study; the ice in his scotch clinks against the crystal as he finishes the rest with a hard swallow. The burn of it makes his eyes water.
Normally when they swap, it's a private affair. Tonight, Nanami's wife invites him to watch. She pays him no mind, however, as she strokes Higuruma while he mouths at her neck. Kento's erection is almost painful as it strains against his trousers, and he palms it to relieve the ache as he watches his beautiful wife lower her head into his friend's lap.
Higuruma releases a low, intensely satisfied groan, and the fire crackles and pops. Spit pools under Nanami's tongue as he leans forward, tortured in the most delicious sense of the word.
