Calculating Infinity (or the Promise of Forever)


/Divide a number by infinity, and you will approach zero./

Seto pants into Mokuba’s ear. Seto’s heart thuds desperately against Mokuba’s chest. Mokuba embraces his brother harder as Seto’s moves against him become increasingly erratic.
They spiral higher and higher, until there is too much and everything simply bursts - showers down like falling stars as always.
In the aftermath, there’s only Seto in Mokuba’s arms, silently trembling.
Seto brushes a kiss against Mokuba’s jaw and Mokuba buries his face into his brother’s hair.
It’s not as soft as he remembers.

When Seto wakes up he brushes a kiss across Mokuba’s forehead and goes into the shower.
Mokuba lies awake staring at the ceiling, hearing the familiar pitter-patter of water, the harsh scrub of sponge on skin.
When Seto bends down to wash the sole of his right foot, he feels Mokuba press warmly and insistently against him.
When Seto rises, Mokuba latches onto him in a violent kiss, pushes his older brother against the stall’s tiles until pink pressure marks crisscross Seto’s back.
When Mokuba releases Seto from the kiss, Mokuba immediately seeks to mark every bit of visible skin with his lips and teeth. There’s isn’t enough, so Mokuba turns Seto around.
When Mokuba begins to probe Seto’s most intimate part with his tongue, Seto squirms and gasps.
“Mokuba,” Seto says.
Mokuba doesn’t listen - even when Mokuba slides into where home and love and everything used to be, Mokuba can’t hear at all.

When Seto gets dressed, Mokuba does Seto’s black-patterned tie for him. (It’s a Thursday.)
Mokuba buries his face against Seto neck, hugs him like he never wants to let go.
Seto runs his fingers through Mokuba’s hair and whispers soothing words although Seto does not understand what is wrong.
Mokuba only clutches tighter, because everything is slipping away.

The day Mokuba sends Seto a yellow rose, Seto is waiting at home with packed suitcases. When Mokuba passes the mansion’s threshold, Seto throws the yellow flower at Mokuba’s feet and tucks the one he bought into Mokuba’s hair.
The door slams.

When Mokuba looks at himself in the mirror: an eternal red rose.

/Multiply a number by infinity, and you will seek a limit that does not exist./

Owari.


Author Notes:
For the people who haven’t taken calculus (or who have forgotten):
If you divide a number by a very big number, your answer will be very small. Therefore, if you make the second number bigger and bigger (i.e. infinity) then your answer will be so small, it will approach and can be thought of as zero. If you multiply a number by a big number, then your answer will be very large. If you multiply something by infinity, you simply end up with infinity again. This is because infinity represents the largest number that can exist - which doesn’t really (think of the largest number you can and add one to that, and then one to that, and so on).
Therefore, infinity, unlike zero, is limitless.

For those not familiar with flower meanings:
The meanings of flowers can be ambiguous and their popular meanings change with time. I suggest you look online for more info. Interpretations are ultimately up to the sender/receiver, but here are some of them:
Yellow rose - joy, friendship, freedom, infidelity, jealousy, a decrease of love, “Remember me.”
Red rose - “I love you” or “I love you still.”
