[Continued from here}

Ziggy had paced around for an hour feeling manic and hurt. He wasn't used to people pushing him away. It didn't matter that there were apologies and promises. Ziggy had been hurt in his life; physically but heartache was worse. He didn't like it. The whole mess of his mind gave him a migraine as he tried to sort through being pushed away and drawn in and pushed away again in an endless cycle for weeks now.

When they came together, it was glory, but then he'd walk away and Ziggy pined for him. The joy of reunion too short and another shove away. He'd been left at the dinner table of their first date even. He just walked away all the time. There was a promise in the words to never do it again. Ziggy didn't trust it. He stood for a long time leaning on the wall staring between the bedroom door and the front door. He could imagine him walking out and just not even giving him a second glance.

This was insanity. Ziggy broke out the whiskey as he paced. He chugged 5ths because it barely effected him though it dulled his cares. Then he'd turned to lines of cocaine to numb his emotions. Drugs effected him differently than a human. More whiskey and staring out windows at the dark. He even stood at the bedroom door tempted to bash it down when he started feeling the numbness and then walked away. Empty whiskey bottles were here and there all over the townhouse before he had any direction.

He went into the room he'd set up as a studio of sorts to write. Still in just the robe. Who cared? Head phones on to blot out the world and a ball on to record in case something good came out. He started with things he'd already wrote, songs he liked that weren't his. He eventually started to go stream of consciousness. things came and went.

Then a song stuck and he worked on it. This was where his empathy went wild. When he sang something new, sang because he needed the words. The pain and the hope of what was happening to his heart laid out in his voice and the guitar. The rest of the world could have been laid to waste and he might not notice.

Every time I think of what you pulled me through, dear
Fascination moves sweeping near me
Still I take ya
fascination

(Sure 'nuff) fascination
(Takes a part of me) takes a part of me
(Can a heart beat) can a heart beat
(Live in a fever) live in a fever?
(Raging inside of me?)
(Fascination) fascination
(Oh, yeah) oh yeah
(Takes a part of me) takes a part of me
(I can't help it) I can't help it
(I've got to use her) got to use her
(Every time, ooh)
Fascination comes around
(Ooh, oo, ooh)

your soul is calling
Like when I'm walking
Seems that everywhere I turn
I hope you're waiting for me
I know that people think
That I'm a little crazy

The young man stares at him, bemused.

"I don't want to slow down," he whispers hoarsely. "I won't. I feel-- alive!"

He then runs his left hand through Ziggy's hair, trying to think, to wonder, was there any possible reason in this reality for Shiro to slow down? Er, that is, for Hiroki? No, he didn't think so!

Why'd there be? Such a feeling--- such a rush--- could not possibly be a crime---!!!

"What should I do?" the clone now asks, helplessly.

What is he even supposed to do right now, if he can't---?!

Hiroki grabs a fistful of Ziggy's hair and tugs.

"A-ahhh--!!! I-- I can't, no, I-- no----Zi--Ziggy--Zigg--"

Hiroki comes, moaning Ziggy's name, too exhausted to scream it. With enother injection of the... Ziggy's... everything... the young clone might pass out very soon, in truth.

He's suddenly afraid that he'll accidentally pin and imprison his... fiance...?...(?)... with his body once he loses consciousness, so he rolls slightly away from Ziggy, letting go of the Antean, only touching his shoulder with his left hand, now, but otherwise separate.

Panting, moaning, dizzy and... Hiroki might faint soon. He suddenly realises that even if this was to kill him, he'd regret nothing, and by no means would he stop, how could he stop...

How, oh, how?

"Z-Ziggy. Ziggy. Ziggy. Ziggy--"

He whispers, over and over. Like a mantra. He's getting very faint.

"Ziggy. Please, marry me, aaahhhhh---!!--- I beg you--- - Ziggy--- Ziggy---" he utters, more and more faint, barely audible, and, now, barely conscious. One more moment and he might lose consciousness, quite soon.

"Ziggy, Ziggy, Ziggy---"

Tears are rolling off Hiroki's cheeks now.

Hiroki nods weakly, then passes out.
