one of the gayest things i’ve read in a while

that scene where ‘hikaru’ lightly consumes yoshiki into his body was so intimate and horrifying lol. i will always love the metaphor of a monster - a representation of a selfish, exploitative affection that masks itself as love. ‘hikaru’ striving to love unselfishly despite his natural instincts. yoshiki desperately clinging on to that which haunts him. like ok!!!! the homoeroticism of feeling tender for the monster that wears your friend’s skin!! yoshiki prob felt like an outcast when he first realized he was gay for hikaru but now his feelings have sublimated into being affectionate for a literal monster. terrible. ironic. truly captures the spirit of a gay kid coming of age LOL. i’ve never read anything more deeply romantic but maybe i’m just a freak
