“ I’m going to keep you safe. ” 😏😏 tsukasa to senku
❝ keep me safe? ❞ senku reiterates the phrase back to himself, an odd sense of nostalgia felt in those words. how long had it been since he’s heard that promise?there’s a brief pause of silence before a chuckle breaks through, senku then props both hands to his own hips and can’t help but smile: ❝ y’know, pretty sure i’ve heard that one before. oh, that’s right! right around when you became a real pain in my neck — no pun intended. ❞ he huffs, walking closer towards tsukasa with a gentler expression, one far more humble, lacking his usual cockiness. all that surrounds their complicated past now is pure, fresh air. senku only jests, because those nasty yesterdays are entirely beyond them now, that’s one fact he’s ten-billion-percent sure about. slowly his brows drop, lips curled into a softened grin as he walks on past him, making sure to brush their fingers together for that brief nano-second of contact. ❝ i’ll be counting on you then, tsukasa. ❞
