A Whole New World To Explore

[KAWAI]

Tamiko's heart felt heavy as he headed towards the palace. He couldn't deny the way that his heart was seeking him out. He was losing the battle between his sanity and the state he so very wished to be a part of. 

It was a truth that he had known the moment his heart beat faster when Kosta ran away. It wasn't supposed to be like that and yet it had become the one thing that had defined his movements. 

He was bothered by the way that Kosta had reacted and he felt stupid for trying to force a rejection down his Erasthai's throat. Granted, he was a broken kid, but that didn't mean he had to be the harshest of people with the man he had sworn to love. 

There were so many things that he could have done along the way and yet none of all that had made sense to him. Perhaps he had been bound to be the monster he had always been scared of.
