[yea higekiri's a cheater

but honestly.... his expressions softens a bit at that. he'll just pull in hiza closer to him, as if the closeness in proximity will be enough to calm his worries]

... mm, I know. We both want that, don't we?

[it's not like he can pretend that he doesn't understand - he does. deeply. innately.]

But if for some reason we cannot... We will be reunited again shortly afterward. I'm sure of it.
