[It feels nice to be, well... stupid and childish right now, because that's honestly what they've been lacking for the past few weeks. His friends have been wonderful, Haru has been amazing, but there's no use in ignoring and avoiding the aching and obvious hole in his heart where Sousuke belongs. No one else knows about it as far as he knows and that's just how he hopes it will always stay, not because he's afraid, but because he's protective of it. What's theirs, what they've worked for, cracked and polished together--
He won't lie. All of this spurred on because of what happened several miles beneath their feet in that cold, dark elevator. Strangers who tried to pull them apart and scare them into their own respective corners, out of sight with their tails between their legs... There may be no visible threat right now, but that doesn't mean he can be lax. Those people-- Who's to say they aren't out there right now, having escaped untouched, free to wander the streets and praised for what they've done?
Of course he doesn't want to be afraid. Of course he doesn't want to be paranoid and worried every time he sets foot outside now. Maybe he doesn't even want to be so much like this around Sousuke either...
But it's what feels right. It gets him through the day and lights a fire in his heart. Sousuke--]
