Kurashi’s eyes filled with sadness when he saw Linda’s distress. It was terribly worrying; he knew how much the blond relayed on his looks. If Linda knew…
Kurashi did see, up close, how his face looked right now. It didn’t change anything; the boy loved Linda even more than before, now that his heart broke over and over again for his blond lover; but for the singer, this would be a hit far worse than the pain, the treatments and rehabilitation.
Knowing his face was destroyed, it could break him completely.
“I didn’t protect you…” Kurashi murmured, casting his eyes down. He knew Linda hated him taking all the blame for himself, but he couldn’t help it. Not in such a matter; not when he was so close, and could have well enough done something.
As the blond’s hand once more raised to his bandages, Kurashi caught it with his own and brought it to his lips, pressing soft kisses over Linda’s palm.
“Don’t touch.” he said softly. “You need to let it all heal; until then, they can’t be sure how bad is it. The doctors said you were lucky, and that it’s not too big or too deep; that’s the truth. I know with all the bandages and it probably hurting, it must be frightening to you; but you shouldn’t worry right now. It will only make it harder to rest properly and heal.”
Kurashi smiled softly, holding Linda’s hand in his both, eyes soft and loving. With incredible gentleness, he leaned in, and pressed a soft kiss to the bandaged half of Linda’s face, though careful not to cause him pain.
“Linda-san, if I happily kiss you there, it can’t look that bad, can it?” he smiled, and this time pressed a soft kiss to the singer’s other cheek. “So let yourself rest; let yourself heal, and don’t worry too much…. And come home to me.” Kurashi’s eyes glistened with tears; of happiness and love, this time.
“You’ve been asleep so long, and I missed you so much…”
