Summary/Notes/Warnings: Fujitaka had to adjust his pronouns once. He wouldn't do it again.

How long did it take him to start saying "our house" instead of "my house"? It felt strange to him. He'd lived alone for as long as he could remember, his childhood a void.

Nadeshiko taught him that I was a very lonely word, and he realized, it was doubly lonely after he had learned how much sweeter it was to say we. A man other than Fujitaka might have grown bitter, to have loved and lost, but he was thankful for her.

To Fujitaka, it would always be ours. He'd lived too long with her to change pronouns again.
