my sachertorte experiment 1 was an expected failure bc it's boxed brownie mix and american-sweet apricot jam with a questionable chocolate ganache. i think if ness ate this, it'd become his new least favorite food 💔

i'm blue locking in this time for a late #rinbachi xmas in march ✊🏻 bachira is finally coming back and i am too #baowip

The last time Rin ever saw Meguru was right before winter break. He’d long forgotten what happened between the two of them, because he was used to running away.

That was just how they were.
Meguru had hugged him then.
Meguru loved hugging people. He always said that it let you touch the deepest parts of someone's heart.

But Rin hated being hugged. If he was hugged for too long, too many ambivalent feelings would rise within him.

It was ambiguous—the flavor of pickled cucumbers devolving into ochazuke and bream in his mouth. It was disgusting and delicious.

He was a soldier on the battlefield, yet he was taken down by a hug.

Unforgivable.

They weren't lovers, so it was just a hug. But they weren't friends either, because it wouldn’t have felt like they were crossing a line.
Both friends and lovers could have acted more openly, but only a simple hug was allowed in this relationship.

Their embrace left a sour taste, and that was enough for Rin to surrender. Wrapped under the shiny facade of a holographic candy wrapper, everything it reflected broke into patches of iridescent light.

If you could wipe away all the childish impulses, their youthful inexperience, and the silence that followed, what remained between them was nothing more than a single hug.

Meguru wordlessly opened his mouth, and left him.

here's a #rinbachi translation wip! aiming for xmas release ^___^ #baowip

Once school was over, Meguru would pull at him and ask whether he wanted to go eat fried chicken or strawberry cream cake. If Rin said he wanted fried chicken, they would end up having strawberry cream cake.

It was actually quite delicious. The fresh cream and fluffy sponge cake were cool in his mouth, and when the wind blew around them as they ate outside, it felt like there was something special in the air.

After a few bites, Meguru would begin to play around; swiping at Rin’s strawberries, attempting to smear cream across Rin’s face. Only, he never succeeded, because Rin’s retaliations meant it resulted in a mess on his own face.

Moments later, Rin would take his shot and call him “a stupid Bobcut.”

And after that, Meguru would cling onto him and follow him home. Rin’s protests were half-hearted, because Meguru trailed after him no matter how many times he objected.

Meguru would whine, “Rin-chan, just hold my hand for a little while, okay?”

Who knows which one of them reached out first, but their hands were joined either way, and Rin wasn’t going to be the one to let go.

Of what is recovered and uncovered between them on an unexpected outing.

“Gods and ghosts are not alike, so please, Qi Ying Dianxia, stop coming to Ghost City. For the good of us both.”

“But I think Shixiong doesn’t want me to leave,” Quan Yizhen said. “Otherwise Shixiong, why won’t you let go of my hand?”
