lucius tenses - but only a moment. it’s an unfortunate reflex; born out of long-gone times yet somehow still lingering. the initial shock passes over, and lucius smiles. he knows this warmth; knows this embrace. “takumi!”
lucius leans back against him, laughing airily. “you surprised me!” it’s a pleasant surprise - a welcome one. takumi is the very opposite of… those people. takumi is kind. the kindest person lucius knows, in fact. he makes lucius feel safe. lucius never truly knew how that felt - not until he met takumi.
“how was your day? i missed you very much.” he’s done so much for lucius - perhaps more than he knows. outside, the sun is setting, and orange-gold light shines through the trees. it’s beautiful, and lucius is… happy. the past may have inflicted wounds upon his soul, but the joy he feels in this moment... it will help those wounds heal, won’t it? slowly but surely… he’ll get stronger. “i bought some rice cakes at the market, earlier. would you like to eat them with me?”
