[09] • heartbeat

shirabu always enjoyed cuddling semi. sometimes they would just sit and cuddle, listening, to each falling breath, to each beat of their hearts, pulsing, together, entwining, becoming one.

his heartbeat was a lullaby, his favourite lullaby. sometimes he would fall asleep when listening to it, only to wake up still in semi's arms, the other boy dozing off and absentmindedly stroking shirabu's hair.

but he always tried to stay awake for as long as he could, so that he could hear semi's heartbeat and feel the warmth of his body and the softness of his skin.

it served as a reminder. a reminder that he wasn't alone in the world. a reminder that he had to exist in order to fill the spaces in semi's arms, to fill the gaps between semi's heart, to keep him warm and safe too.

so he kept his heart beating for semi. and semi's sung him a lullaby every night.
