I LOVE REYLO AND I LOVE AYAHINA OMG OMG OMG YAS.
I CAN’T WAIT TIL REYLO IS CANON NEXT WEEK. (hopefully)
@ ISHIDA GET ON THE AYAHINA.
“General Takizawa is a fool,” Ayato snaps. “I’m not emotional. I sent my sister’s lover to the torture chambers, remember? I am beholden to the dark side, my lord.”
“But are you?” purrs Supreme Leader Eto.
Ayato swallows. He thought sending Kaneki to Sith Yamori would break his bonds to the light side, catapulting him to strength. He really did.
Instead, he feels weakened. Because he knows it hurt Touka, and god fucking dammit, he still cares.
“Your hesitation is answer enough,” Eto replies.
“No, Supreme Leader. I am strong!” Ayato protests. “I don’t accept sentiment!”
“Really? I saw your eyes following the little butterfly Jedi,” Eto says.
Ayato’s breath catches. “She’s a Jedi no longer.”
“True enough, but love too is of the light. Take care you only lust.”
Ayato bristles. How does Eto know? Takizawa, that dolt.
“I won’t ever love her.”
“We shall see,” Eto murmurs. “We shall see.”
Ayato storms out, and to his dismay, finds Hinami waiting for him. He shoves past her.
“You can’t just turn your back on me!” she exclaims.
“Supreme Leader Eto disapproves of us,” he informs her.
Hinami’s eyes flash. “Come with me.”
He follows her, to her quarters.
“Why am I here?”
Hinami fishes out her lightsaber, the one with the butterfly hilt.
“You were supposed to dispose of that!”
“The light?” Hinami scoffs. “I’m following my own path. Dark, light, grey. I’m not on any side. This is all I have left of my parents, and I’m keeping it.”
She glares at Ayato. “If love is all you have left of your parents, keep it.”
Ayato rolls his eyes, but moves in to kiss her. Lust, only lust.
But as Hinami moans against him and he feels her soft lips in his mouth, he realizes the desperate truth: he does love her, and he has no idea what to do about it.
