[kuro always knows what he means when he says one thing, even if it's not clear to anyone else. that, and the gentle trail down part of his face, springs new tears into his eyes, caught by kuro's thumbs as if by habit. no, definitely by habit.

he groans, lifting a hand to beat kuro's chest pathetically. like, pathetic even by his own standards.]

God, I wish I could fall in love with you sometimes. It'd be a lot easier.

[but it. probably wouldn't be like this, if he was. so he shakes his head of the complaint and thought, moving to hang his hand off kuro's wrist loosely.]

... Thanks. Sorry for bein' a baby. I've... been stayin' with Miai's lion, takin' care of him since that guy asked me to while he's doin' this and that, but I'll come back here too. I don't wanna worry you and Suzu-tan any by being out where I shouldn't be.

[like

at bars, and clubs, with little care to himself.]
