    Summary

    Matsuda feels like a can of sardines.

    Light opens the can. Easy, smooth, like everything is for him. The metal seams tear with a sound that makes the back of your neck tingle. You feel less like a person with hands and more like the can, designed to be peeled open.

    When 'Hikaru' is rough it's due to being careless and over excited, but he rarely is that careless again...he also doesn't want to give up the different way 'Hikaru' touches him
