I think.... I'm going to make a self ship blog....
Kudou and Yoichi only had two months before AFO killed his brother. Two months. Imagine that in those two months, Yoichi lived in constant fear, not only that AFO would find him, but that he would also find Kudou, knowing all too well how cruel and heartless his brother was and what he would do to Kudou if he found him. But Kudou is kind and patient, he shows him a side of humanity that Yoichi has never experienced, and over those two months, he starts to feel hope again. When Kudou reaches his hand out to him again, he takes it, and when Kudou leans in and offers him the world, he wants it. When Kudou kisses him for the first time and promises them forever, he believes it. But hope is an exquisite pain. And when his brother finds them the morning after their first and only night together, his last thoughts are of the warm hand still holding his.
