[He shrunk into himself again, hand moving to fiddle with his cast before he forced himself not to. The tail will speak for him instead.]
It isn't easy. [Said at least in part as if warning Yusuke. But half as just a matter of fact. Deep in his heart, Takame wanted to ask if Yusuke was sure he wanted to be with him. He held the question back.]
He... he could potentially get out of this, but he couldn't lie anymore. He was almost certain asking this would upset him and his body language showed it.]
After all you've seen of me... are you sure you still want to even be near me? [He tensed, bracing himself for the response.]
[Kami, his chest ached. Recalling anything about what happened hurt, but Yusuke's words rang clear in his mind. That he wasn't scared of Takame and seeing this would not change that. The same thing repeated to him here with certainty.
The tension came out slowly with shaken shoulders and breaths. A scolding would have been easier to manage than a simple, straight forward answer. At least that he was used to. This he didn't know how to deal with. Just like everything else he felt.
One thing he did know was that he wished to hold Yusuke's hand. So he did, leaning lightly against him.]
[Takame just... let them stay like this for a while. For one fleeting moment let nothing occupy his mind but the person next to him. And in so doing throwing a little caution to the wind.
Turning his head slowly and leaning in to just barely brush his lips against Yusuke's. It was tentative, just to gauge a reaction. Should it be favorable, he would commit to a small kiss.]
[He was simple relieved it was well received. He's rarely so bold with his affection, not many are comfortable with it. But he was comfortable with Yusuke.
He managed a weak smile, still feeling the weight of the past few days.]

[Why did that... catch him so off guard? Forgive him while he mentally scrambles a bit. So much for holding the question back.]
I... that is, are you sure you...? [He shut his mouth quickly, afraid he'll offend Yusuke. And he kept it shut for a while.]
I-I'm. I... if you're sure.

I'm here, Takame.

I know... [And that made his eyes start to sting. Like he was moments from breaking into tears, but nothing fell.] Thank you, Yusuke...

[And Yusuke just drops his head to Takame's shoulder. He's here.]
