[That's the perfect compromise, really. They'd begin in a fairly neutral space, all things considered, where they could learn to co-exist and see if it's viable for the future. Moving to a dorm room would also mean that Heigo couldn't just shift all his things into a new bland apartment, and really, how much of this does he need now that he's left accounting? How much of it did he ever need?

His time with Retrospec now feels more like his real life than anything that came before, even if he's far from making peace with the third life it's revealed to him. He's perfectly poised for a fresh start with a clean slate, if he can just find the courage to accept it.]

That sounds ideal. If I plan to make my entire living as a writer, I'll need lots of inspiration around me.

We can help with that. Plenty of books, a nice garden...

[Shuji will never really be at peace with his third life, but he wouldn't trade Retrospec leading him to meet Heigo again for anything.]

And I wouldn't have to go as far to see my boyfriend.

[The first time he's used that word for what they are.]

[Of course that's what they are now, but hearing it aloud still makes Heigo suck in a startled gasp. He cups Shuji's cheek in one palm, the other arm still wrapped tight around him, and takes this perfect moment to give Shuji the kiss he's saved until they left the B&B - deep and devouring, intent on claiming Shuji entirely for his own.]

[It's the right time for that kiss. Now, more than ever, Shuji is Heigo's.

Shuji returns the kiss with as much passion as Heigo puts into it, opening his mouth to Heigo immediately. He quivers in Heigo's hold, but not because he can't support himself - this is a shiver of anticipation.

He threads one hand through Heigo's hair and thinks that it'll be a miracle if they make it to the bedroom.]
