[Luckily for both of them, he won't meet too much resistance when he brings them both toppling over like a card stack. He folds really fast when the tickle guns are brought out... Besides, Kashuu feels strangely tired after talking, even though his manifested body isn't run-down or exhausted so he knows he doesn't actually need to sleep. It's warm here, and he finds himself shifting and curling right up against Souji as soon as they've hit the blankets.
...This is nice, isn't it? He remembers the day he'd met Souji again and for the first time, months ago at that ball, and how he'd cried and felt an acute sense of dread because he realized that things couldn't magically be fixed just because they could speak to each other here. It had been an awful, hopeless feeling. But now? This slow mend - he's realizing that it's better than a quick fix. Taking each step toward actual healing is an excruciatingly slow process, but that makes every hurdle overcome an even larger triumph.]
Geez, when you say it like that, I feel like the lucky one. It's a good thing your bad taste didn't get in the way when you both picked me out!
[Which he says teasingly now, but he already knows that Souji understands his endless gratitude. To Haru especially, since he wears it so openly, but now he should at least be able to see that Kashuu held him in the same high regard and is still incredibly grateful to him, even if their past became complicated and painful.]
...Hey, I'm gonna stay here for now, okay? And don't hide away when Yasusada comes back tonight either. Even if you were all weird, that guy still wants to be near you all the time. I guess he's pretty weird too though, so. [A SHRUG. As if Kashuu is free from the Weird Gene™...]
