[EUPHORIA ENDING]

The ground was cold beneath you, bruises aching, lungs burning from exertion. Beside you, Rei was sprawled out, chest rising and falling with heavy breaths, and just a little further away, Towa—silent, unmoving, catching his breath just like the two of you.

When you first met Rei, he was just another person in your circle, a close friend among the chaos of Shinkoumi. Then you found out about Rei’s debt. The fights, the money matches—everything he had been doing just to keep his head above water. And when he told you Towa had paid it off, the emotions you had been holding back finally broke. You had cried, gripping onto Rei as if he would disappear if you let go. You had even thanked Towa, something you never thought you’d do.

That moment changed everything.

Now, lying on the ground after yet another brutal match with Rei and Towa, you could feel Rei’s gaze on you. You turned your head, meeting his eyes.

"I love you." His voice was hoarse, breathless. Then, he looked at Towa, and your stomach clenched. "I love both of you."

"You—" Your voice cracked, but Rei just gave you a lazy, lopsided smile, eyes filled with something deep and unwavering.

Towa sat up, watching Rei carefully. He wasn’t saying anything, wasn’t rejecting it either.

Rei let out a quiet chuckle, looking at the both of you. "I don’t want to choose," he admitted. "I don’t have to. I want both of you."

Silence stretched between the three of you, heavy yet oddly comforting.

Then, without warning, Rei moved.

His hand curled into your hair, tugging you in as his lips crashed against yours. It wasn’t gentle. It wasn’t careful. Rei kissed you with everything he had, mouth hot and demanding, tongue sliding against yours in a way that left you dizzy.

Then, just as quickly, he pulled away—only to turn and grab Towa by the chin, dragging him into the same hungry kiss.

"You’re both mine," he murmured, voice rough. "I don’t care how this works—I just know I want you. Both of you."
