[ now that isn't fair. even now, izumi still doesn't understand how leo can still say that even after hurting him so much, pushing him to say those cruel words at mementos that lead izumi to his death. what does izumi have to say to that?
for a while, he doesn't. he lets those words hang in the air for a while, shifting to make leo more comfortable as he gently rubs his back. why even bother asking when he just went up and said it anyway? because as always, they always have an effect in izumi's heart, twisting in all the good and bad ways.
he wasn't the same person as he was a year ago, so he should say something to that. but not without a bit of a sniffle. ]
That's... more than enough.
[ haha, nailed it. just because they're no longer the same people as the previous year, or even after waking up from that living nightmare, there are just some habits you can't kick. like izumi's tsundere-isms, for one.
but one day, he'll be brave enough to tell leo outright. he owes him that much.
for now: ]
...Can we stay like this for a bit longer, though?
[ it doesn't matter if leo doesn't have the right words to say. right now izumi just wants his warmth and the sound of steady breathing, to know that they're both alive at this very moment. ]
