Memorialize

It was flattering, most of the time, that of all the people Ash knew and could have chosen, he chose Eiji to remember him, that even though Ash didn’t want to be remembered because he didn’t think he was worth remembering, he would still let Eiji do it because Eiji thought - he knew - that Ash was worth it. Eiji loved that Ash trusted him, and took pride in that.

Sometimes, however, it felt as though Eiji’s task was too great for him alone. Eiji found himself staring at Ash sometimes, desperate to catch every moment of him lest he missed something, or sometimes just too entranced to look away.

In which Eiji desperately tries to remember Ash and Ash finally lets Eiji memorialize him, even if he doesn't think himself worth it.
