Summary:Uhei, Bull, and Bisuke eventually wander in from their perch on his bed to settle by his side, noses freezing as they seek out his company. It’s so much easier with them, because they take what he has to give and multiply it tenfold. There’s no worrying that they’ll reject him, no worrying that they don’t feel the same, because they don’t feel in the same way Iruka does.
It’s what he loves about them, but he can’t help the way he craves something more.
Something to fill the space he’s carved out for another person inside his chest.
