[he blinks in surprise when you mention Zexion] ...Zexion was healing me...? Mmm...[rubs his head] ....it’s so frustrating...I can’t remember a thing from around that time...ugh...[rip pink...]

[he lets you do that, running his fingers through a bit of your hair–gently, though, as he is aware of where you’ve been hurt] [mumbles]…i love you. oh, is your head okay?…

...I love you, too. Always. [he smiles a little, though it falls when you ask that] ....i’m not sure...it...feels heavy, and does hurt quite a bit, and it’s hard to walk...I think I got a concussion but...I can’t remember how...

[his breathing eases after a while, and he flips over to gaze up at you tentatively, his hand reaching to skirt across your cheek–and he smiles helplessly, despite the expression being quite shaky due to his mixed emotions]…thought you’d say that.

[he smiles a little too] mhmm...you know me too well, darling. [he  leans down and kisses your forehead...aw...]

[he just. curls around you, sliding down to rest almost in your lap with his arms still fastened by your waist. and just cries out all the built up tension] [he’ll be done soon. sorry about this pink]

[poor child...] [he just. sighs and holds you against his chest, kissing your hair] shh...it’s okay...everything’s fine darling...I’m right here...I promised I’d stay with you, remember? That I’d always be with you...I wouldn’t lie about that, dear...

[he hasn’t shown this much emotion in a long while] [he presses his face to your neck, choking and sobbing, his hand tightening against your back] i saw them take you away, and–i!–i didn’t know if–if you were alive, or–or not, and i couldn’t–

[his eyes widen and his breath hitches] [and he just. raises one hand to your hair]...shh...it’s all okay now...I’m right here, see? [he rocks you a little, still holding you close] I’m sorry you had to see that...but it’s okay now...

[his own eyes widen–he doesn’t have much time to react before you’re holding him] [he can feel your heart against his chest, and your warmth, your living warmth–] [and he just. slowly wraps his arms around you, and sinks down] [and. he’s crying…]

[ooo noo...bby] [he. sinks down with you, making sure to kick the door shut and lock it with his free hand quickly, before going back to holding you] ...Ion...? [oh he noticed the tears} ...darling, what’s wrong? It’s okay...you don’t have to cry...

[there’s more silence. ion when are you going to realize that the door is most likely unlocked] [there’s a small clicking noise and. there’s the door! and it’s a hooded figure] [who instantly drops his hood once he steps into the light. hello ion]…

[oh shit] [hhhe’s about to head for the window when he hears you come in--he turns around briefly tho, and his breath hitches once he sees you] ...Ion...? [aND THEN AFTER A MOMENT OF SHOCK HE JUST. BOLTS FORWARD INTO YOUR ARMS. AWW} I-I thought....I thought you were...dead...I...

[aaAND TIMING] [there’s a pronounced, clear knock on the door. there’s no voice attached to it, only the knock and silence–perhaps a creak of the floorboards, if nothing more] [pink open the door……]

[he freezes, breath hitching] [hhe doesn’t want Neku or Zexion to find out he’s trying to escape to go into the forest with a severe concussion and pROBABLY FRACTURED SKULL HONESTLY] [he swallows a little] ....who’s there?
