‘ it’s nothing, ’ Haruka repeats, but theres no weight in her words - she doesn’t like Michiru worrying over her, but she likes lying to her even less. it’s only when the other presses the wet cloth to her skin that Haruka allows herself to groan. oh, it’s far more painful than shed let on, but she’s still so NEW to all of this. she groans again, but finally sits up & leans into the other. she’s new to this, new to them, but it still feels right & every time she allows herself to TRUST herself, it’s like she’s rewarded with this uncommon gentleness.
‘ daimon, ’ she says finally. ‘ it attacked a group of kids. I fought it off, but it got me before it died or– whatever, ’ she sighs softly. ‘ I guess I don’t have your grace for this, ’ Haruka chuckles softly. ‘ but I’m fine - I’m here. like I promised, I came back to you, didn’t I? ’
michiru knew better , she knew that haruka would downplay what happened . she knew the other tried to impress her with how quick she picked things up , and michiru was proud but she was also worried because she didn't want her to get seriously hurt because of it . " mm . " she knew that was a lie . she would never call her out on it , no . michiru knew , she could read haruka better than she thought and the girl would do nothing but try and help the other feel better .
when she heard haruka speak of what happened , she tried to keep her expression soft and the worry hidden . the daimons were getting bolder and she thought that they were giving up for a time . " you have a grace all your own , my love . sometimes i believe even more than i do . it's as if you were born for this . " her voice soft and her smile genuine , she nodded . " you did , and you will always come back to me as i will to you . " it was their destiny , after all .
