[ HIDE ] - in order to hide receiver from people chasing them, sender pulls them into a tight hug while hiding their face from view. For Kaori.
kaori didn’t know how her lineage got leaked to the curse users. did they have a community they didn’t know about? she doesn’t like to kill people, curse users, or otherwise, if she could help it. but she knows she wouldn’t have any other choice if they were backed into a corner.
they turned into an alley, and megumi pulled her into his shadow. she’d been in his shadow before, which is why she knew to hold her breath. when the curse users chased them past where they were, they stepped back into the alley, but megumi didn’t let go of her, and she didn’t want him to. this was her childhood all over again, and she kept her breathing even to not break down into tears or a panic attack. the last thing she wants is to cause trouble for any others, especially her friends. defeated she leaned into his chest so he wouldn’t see the tears she wasn’t able to keep from her eyes.
