you lonelily let him push under your bones
[The 2026!Otacon is out stretching his legs, stalking his way to the Library, because he's become quite the creature of habit in his elder years.
His usual unlit cigarette is pressed between his lips, where he rolls it from one side of his mouth to the other idly, a practiced, unconscious motion.
He never lights it, has never really thought about it. Except recently... Yes, it is horrible hypocritical considering how he nagged Snake so much over the years. But in the Nexus, seeing Snakes and Otacons and old enemies and allies all over, he's considering it. Curiosity killed the cat, but he was hardly in a rush to live, was he?]
Hm. Not much to lose anyway.
[He's gotten a lighter a few weeks prior after a conversation with one of the Old Snakes and it still sat heavy in his pocket. It was easy to pull it out and run his thumb along the wheel, trying to coax the flame out. Click, click, click...]
What's wrong with this thing... [Click, click, click, click....]
