[ he shakes his head ]

That’s new.

What happened…?

[abovefate]

I'm fine. It doesn't matter, so don't worry about it.

[fallingleaf]

… I see.

[ he seems to be thinking— the doubt still apparent on his face. ]

I don’t think I can help but worry.

[abovefate]

[ he's opening his room door and going in, not telling him to come in but he's leaving the door open ]

[fallingleaf]

[ he follows him, zero hesitation. ]

[abovefate]

Even without taking what this place does in account, my body heals faster than a human's. I don't die as easily either. So there's really no reason to worry even if I smell of blood.

[fallingleaf]

What happened?

[ since, this is as much of a confession something did ]

[abovefate]

I let some people dig into my insides and take some parts out.

[fallingleaf]

[ he is about to ask why, but he closes his mouth instead with a soft click. ]

I see…

[ a soft inhale and exhale, before he moves to grab his wrist, if he’ll let him ]

[abovefate]

[ he does let him, but now he's the one that looks confused ]

... What?

[fallingleaf]

Order me around.

[abovefate]

[ quiet for a moment, and then ]

Lay your head down on my lap.

[fallingleaf]

[ he nods, ]

Sit down, and I will.

[abovefate]

[ he sits down on the bed, waiting for him ]

[fallingleaf]

[ once he does, Kazuha sits next to him for a moment, hesitating. and then he brushes his hair aside, before scooting down, and turning to lie his head in his lap.

his face is lightly flushed-- but there's mostly concern. ]

[abovefate]

[ he's going to start stroking his hair, surprisingly very gentle ]

I'm used to this sort of thing. You really don't have to worry so much for someone like me.

[fallingleaf]

[ he closes his eyes, taking in the feeling of it ]

Mm. I disagree.

[ and then he opens his eyes again, ]

Are you truly unbothered by it?

[abovefate]

...

Doing things like that does bring up some memories. And that's probably why I case that sort of thing too.

But it's not like anyone did anything I didn't want them to.

[fallingleaf]

Mm.

[ he reaches up to touch his cheek. ]

I see.

[abovefate]

...

You really don't have to be so gentle with me.

[fallingleaf]

I know...

But I feel like someone should.

[abovefate]

That's just ridiculous.

[fallingleaf]

Why?

[abovefate]

[ Frowning, quiet for a moment as he tries to find the right words ]

I don't need kindness. It's better used for someone else.

[fallingleaf]

I see.

[ but he doesn't look like he agrees ]
