Pairing: Sakaeguchi Yuuto & Suyama Shouji
Summary: verb. Successfully overcome (a problem or weakness); overcome and take control of (a place or people)
The village is everything Suyama has ever known. In his eyes, it’s beautiful and perfect. He loves everything about it, but maybe that’s because he doesn’t remember much from his life before here. His parents barely talk about it - their focus on the here and now.
What Suyama does remember is his father being away for weeks and weeks when he was younger. He remembers missing him everyday and promising every time he left that he would protect his mom while his dad was away. He remembers waiting and watching out the window for the telltale lantern in the distance signaling his father’s return.
But that’s about it.
So as he sits atop the grassy hill on the outskirts of the village, he smiles. This is what he knows. He knows the fertile crops where his mother and father often help in the fields. He knows the dense forests where the wild animals live and hunters roam to bring the village meat and pelts. He knows the white caps of the mountains in the distance melting into rivers that feed the earth around him.
Hey @oofurishipweeks is it too late to submit this? I tried to finish by the end of August but it’s Harry Potter weekend and I got distracted… :)
