    Summary

    You turn to him, and Bailey wonders how he didn’t see it sooner. The thinness of your skin, the pallor, the lack of focus in your eyes. The bruises are the same ones you died with, never healed.
    You didn’t really come back.

    There are worse things in this world.

    Summary

    Kyoya pressed his lips together in a thin line. His future self had the audacity to laugh at that - to throw his head back a little, and stub the cigarette out entirely.

    “I forgot,” he said, “what a nightmare I was at sixteen."

    (or: Kyoya is a time traveler. It has as many downsides as it does perks.)
