@yeonban asked: 'calm down, you are safe' Naotora to Kojiro!
send 'calm down, you are safe' for my muse's reaction. | Accepting!
Damn it. He probably looked like a fool - rushing out of the area in a panic like that. It didn't help that he had been surrounded by a crowd, which he was also not used to. He was used to being an outcast. He was used to having stones and trash thrown at him. Having people speak badly towards him. Hell he's used to having people threaten his life or being in danger in general. He's not used to the positive attention he's been getting as of late, no matter how much he craved it. What a contradiction he was.
They were coming to congratulate him, raising their hands to give him a high five or to put their hand on his head or shoulders. But all he had seen was someone raising their hand to hit or throw something at him. With the adrenaline from the previous fight still in his system - he ran.
"Mhm." He acknowledged Naotora's presence and words, but still kept his head down as he ran a hand through his hair. He was shaking, he realized a moment later. He grasps his hands together, as if trying to force himself to stop shaking. After a few moments of standing in silence, he leans forward, his head resting on Naotora's armor.
"I just--- I just need a moment." He barely says above a whisper, despite wanting his voice to be stronger than that.
