          ❛         not a chance     —     i’d know if she got REPLACED . i think . i mean , unless you can find another cat that looks exactly the same & responds only to little fishy treats .         ❜          okay , maybe that’s just about every cat .          ❛         maybe it was you as a cat from an ALTERNATE DIMENSION that you saw . i bet you’d cozy up to ayato real fast , & just about anybody else who’d pet you .         ❜          his gentle teasing is continued with light laughter ,  hand set over his friend’s shoulder to pull him in close .          ❛         i guess that’s part of your CHARM , though . so easy to get along with . that’s why you’re the fixer , after all , right ?         ❜

          ❛         what ? there’s no way that’s true . you’re just making that up     —     right ?         ❜          asuka scoffs into the air , unconvinced .          ❛         there’s no chance ayato got tama to like him that quickly . she doesn’t even like me .          ❜

          those words are spoken laced with pain     —     he loves his pet so much , but tama chooses her favorites on whim alone , & is hardly to be considered a PEOPLE cat . he is convinced that she has only chosen her favorite spot in his haori because he is exorbitantly warm & feeds her often .

‘ i think … ’ he falters for a moment, the very tips of his ears a fluorescent red — cheeks just as bright if not more. his gaze is directed away, busied with much less embarrassing endeavors. [ kazuha links his pinky with his, where they lay in the shade of the base of the tree. ] ‘ you should … be my boyfriend. if you want to … of course. sorry … if that’s too forward. ’

          ❛         . . . i was wondering when you’d ask .         ❜          that much is TRUE . he had thought about asking him himself many times already , only to decide that it wasn’t worth the risk . he wants him to be happy , knows that he cares for romantic gestures , of which asuka has no idea how to provide     —     at least if kazuha prompts the question himself , he can’t fuck it all up . still , his own cheeks are tinged a light pink , heart swelling with a feeling he never knew that he could feel , before kazuha .

          he turns to look at him , pulls his companion’s chin so that he may do the same .          ❛         hey . . . look at me . of course i want to .         ❜          he pushes in , kisses him for a long moment .        ❛         you’re stuck with me now , though . alright ? NO RETURNS . you have to deal with me forever now .         ❜

          ❛   and   ——   i   think   you   should   kiss   me .   maybe .    ❜

          he confuses him so much . he likes him , but he won’t simply allow him to carry him , to remove the problem of his injury entirely . he wants him to speak as to what’s on his mind , but tells him to stop . he actively hurts himself to prove his point , but says that asuka worries too much .     (     he worries just as much as he should .     )

          but his REQUEST catches him off guard .

          it’s not that he doesn’t want to . he has daydreamed about it several times in their adventures together . asuka has always wondered how kazuha makes his lips look so soft , how he manages to do everything under some sort of mystic aura that puts him into a daze . no , his shock comes from the fact that he never thought kazuha might feel that way about him . the breath HITCHES in his throat . he’s no good with romance , & he knows it . he doesn’t know how to respond , doesn’t know if he should .

          he stares into his expression for a moment , tries to read it as best he can , & his surprise shifts into a smile most tender .

          his thumb brushes over kazuha’s lips , settles on the corner of his mouth .          ❛         do you ?         ❜          like a dog being enticed with a treat , he’s instantly FIXATED on it , forgetting everything else that just occurred . his free hand grasps his hip , pulls it closer .

          he pushes his lips into his . asuka never knew he was capable of being so gentle .

          predictable as he is , asuka falls for it , hook , line , & SINKER . his eyes are instantly drawn to kazuha’s ankle , & he opens his mouth to speak in protest     —     but his companion’s words enter into the air before he ever gets a chance . he tries to move to take him up into his arms again ,     (     tama has given him plenty of experience in the way of lifting unruly , unwilling subjects ,     )     but , even injured , kazuha is far too swift for him . there are so many things he wants to say , so many thoughts that almost escape him , but the words fall just short of his tongue . for a moment , he is uncharacteristically SILENT . though he is notoriously someone who speaks     /     feels      /     does without thinking , he suddenly now finds that he is thinking too much . thought after thought floods his mind , all pointing to the same question . what does that MEAN ? still , he does not speak . he thinks any word he utters might ruin what little point he has left .     (     in some far corner of his mind , he is afraid that it will alter kazuha’s opinion of him , somehow .     )

          finally , his voice comes forth .          ❛         plaguing my thoughts ? i don’t know what you mean .         ❜          a hesitance , HEAVY in its entirety , but he pushes onwards , as he has always .          ❛         then why . . . if you don’t take companions , then why did you come with me ? even though you get hurt every time ?          ❜          he thinks that kazuha will never understand why he worries so . it pains him just as much as it does each time he watches him limp over an injury that was all his fault .     (     he is too honest . it makes him VULNERABLE .     )

          ❛         i just want you safe . that’s all .         ❜          at any cost .
