——— * @caelxstes said : ⚠ – a kiss before a battle + reverse // from chitose to tomo
“ you shouldn’t be on the front lines. ”
it’s a statement spoke with solid assurances and a defiant attitude. his hold on her wrist is rough at first , but it softens quickly once she stops in her tracks , looking back at Tomoyasu with a perplexed look. the ravenette slides his grip , holding her hand into his own as he shifts where he stood , coming to stand before her.
“ we don’t know how powerful this League is— sure , we know their Quirks and whatnot but ... what if one’s a bad match for you ? i’m not saying you’re incapable of fighting or defending yourself , Chitose , but ... i can’t help but worry. what if you get hurt badly out there ? what if the warriors fail to shield you ? what if i never get to see you again ? ”
hypochondria at its finest. obscured gaze can’t even meet her own , brushing a thumb over knuckles. but once they lock eyes—— Tomoyasu’s hopes in dragging her from the battle are instantly dwindled away. she was deadset , eyes on the prize. his head only bows , lashes fluttering shut as a sigh escapes. now , he supposed , rather than rooting for her to flee from battling ... he should root for her win. and if she lost ? if she gets injured out there ? or if the worst possibility becomes a reality ... ? Tomoyasu was sure to get back at the League for it. no matter what.
“ c’mere , ” he commands , solemnly raising his free - hand to her chin , tilting her head up. and he leans forth , connecting their lips in a final , good luck kiss. Tomoyasu could only relish in this as if it were to be both of their last days on this planet , letting them both linger perhaps a little longer than necessary. but he didn’t care. he couldn’t bare letting her go into this madhouse , this psych ward of a town that welcomed unknown evil with open arms and beaming smiles ... but he believed in her. Tomoyasu believed Chitose would survive whatever that League threw at her. she had to. for her , for him , for everyone.
“ i’ll ... see you on the other side of the war. be safe ... i love you. ” his heart sank along with the drifting of her hand from his own , their skin losing contact as Chitose slipped away , drifted away from his touch. her enthusiasm leaving the tower’s front doors absolutely WASN’T contagious ... he was the opposite of stoked. and Tomoyasu only lingered in the area , staring through the glass with despair in the pit of a stomach up until he could no longer see her distancing form in the range of ground the door exposed.
