The way Eiji attacks Ash with all 5 love languages

1. Words of affirmation

2. Acts of service

3. Receiving gifts

4. Quality time

5. Physical touch

Eiji was the only one who made Ash look like the kid and teen he should’ve been without all the madness. And in the strangest way, Ash brought out the spark Eiji lost back in Japan.

"You hath thit o' your fath," Ash mutters through his sandwich, unlocking their hands and scooting backwards half a foot for good measure. (It'll take just short of a miracle to accept he's worthy of Eiji. Baby steps.) "Say that again?" A bewildered smile replaces Eiji's sympathetic one. Ash leans over again to wipe his sticky thumb on Eiji's bare collarbone. "You had shit on your face."

In which Ash attempts to cope with a heatwave and a crush.

Eiji after Ash's death being told over and over by everyone that Ash died to protect him, but Eiji hoping to god that it isn't true, hoping that Ash finally finally understood that Eiji did love him, that Ash's death would hurt Eiji, and hoping that Ash decided, for once, to be selfish. That he knew it would hurt Eiji, but still decided to die because it was what he wanted. Eiji hoping -- praying -- that Ash didn't die for Eiji, but died for himself.

Eiji telling himself (because he has to believe it, for his own sake) that maybe, just maybe, Ash's last act was his most selfish.

Because God knows Ash deserved to be selfish for once.

Ash and Eiji's first meeting felt like two universes colliding. You can feel the entire room shift even when there's nothing to shake it, and see the colors turn a bit brighter than usual. The moment they locked eyes it feels uncertain yet they were so sure of each other at the same time.

I guess Ash is somewhat guarded since Ibe's there. Knowing how he can't trust adults so much. Yet the next scenes that come after their first eye contact, Ash is interested, testy or maybe teasing even towards Eiji. To say the least they were both interested in each other. Curious.

There is something about Ash calling Eiji's sister cute but not seeing any pictures of her just assuming based off Eiji's looks and Eiji calling Ash "such a handsome blond American!" that does something to me.
