(⠀plopping⠀a⠀lighter⠀in⠀her⠀outstretched⠀hand⠀、taking⠀out⠀another⠀for⠀herself⠀&⠀a⠀box⠀of⠀cigarettes⠀.⠀) i'll⠀write⠀you⠀a⠀pass⠀.
⠀ .. huh .ᐣ oh, shit, for real .ᐣ.ᐟ fuck yeah i do. thank you .ᐟ.ᐟ ( reaching out with fingers stained yellow from the cigarettes.. desperation much .ᐣ ) this is my last one, too. can i survive 'till last period or skip.. ⠀
h⠀—⠀hmm⠀*⠀⁉️ (⠀goro⠀bit⠀down⠀on⠀his⠀tongue⠀to⠀suppress⠀any⠀other⠀noise⠀.⠀the⠀skin⠀against⠀their⠀own⠀—⠀it⠀was⠀a⠀conflicting⠀sensation⠀.⠀)
⠀ ⠀⠀I know you do ⠀⠀﹝Akira's fingers trail under their shirt, tapping against his skin﹞ ⠀
need⠀another⠀ ׅ𖤠 (⠀goro⠀stands⠀behind⠀her⠀.⠀he's⠀here⠀to⠀smoke⠀in⠀all⠀honesty⠀—⠀he's⠀exhausted⠀.⠀)
⠀ ( flicking her lighter, sat on shujin's rooftop.. it's not really working. flint's starting to bust. she's too focused to realise @shujinsace is there.. ) ⠀
i⠀—⠀if⠀you⠀say⠀so⠀.⠀the⠀option⠀is⠀always⠀there⠀.
⠀ ⠀⠀I don't want the out! ⠀
i⠀don't⠀want⠀you⠀to⠀regret⠀this⠀decision⠀.
⠀ ⠀⠀I do know. it's why I'm insisting ⠀
would⠀that⠀not⠀be⠀a⠀hassle⠀*⠀❓️
⠀ ⠀⠀who else would I protect? you're my spouse ⠀
why⠀defend⠀me⠀of⠀all⠀people⠀*⠀❓️⠀it⠀isn't⠀as⠀though⠀i⠀deserve⠀such⠀a⠀luxury⠀.
⠀ ⠀⠀you're not taking it for granted. true, you have to protect yourself too, but... I'll do everything I can ⠀
relying⠀on⠀you⠀.⠀i⠀shouldn't⠀take⠀your⠀security⠀for⠀granted⠀.
⠀ ⠀⠀you're not too weak. you just need time. I'll keep you safe. I'm so sorry ⠀
i⠀know⠀you⠀wouldn't⠀.⠀i⠀simply⠀am⠀too⠀weak⠀to⠀come⠀over⠀such⠀trivial⠀matters⠀. (⠀their⠀voice⠀is⠀quiet⠀、just⠀barely⠀above⠀a⠀whisper⠀.⠀)
⠀ ⠀⠀Goro, baby... ﹝his hands wrap around them in a loose hug﹞ I'm sorry. that won't be happening anymore ⠀
i⠀—⠀i⠀used⠀to⠀have⠀weigh⠀—⠀ins⠀.⠀sometimes⠀they'd⠀—⠀touch⠀me⠀—⠀i⠀—⠀. (⠀goro⠀couldn't⠀finish⠀、going⠀quiet⠀.⠀)
⠀ ⠀⠀﹝Akira's brows furrow deeply⸺ a silent sign for them to go on﹞ ⠀
it⠀.⠀.⠀depends⠀. management⠀used⠀to⠀—⠀hm⠀.
⠀ ⠀⠀I see... so skin on skin is a no? can I ask why? ⠀
it⠀is⠀fine⠀.⠀you⠀wouldn't⠀have⠀been⠀as⠀aware⠀.⠀i⠀simply⠀.⠀.⠀have⠀issues⠀with⠀being⠀touched⠀. (⠀they⠀try⠀to⠀laugh⠀&⠀play⠀it⠀off⠀.⠀smiling⠀.⠀)
⠀ ⠀⠀﹝Akira's quick to notice their tension, so he blinks up at them, hands sliding out and away﹞ ⠀⠀s-sorry. I should've asked first ⠀
(⠀goro⠀freezes⠀up⠀—⠀too⠀much⠀.⠀the⠀contact⠀with⠀someone⠀else's⠀skin⠀makes⠀them⠀numb⠀. they⠀resist⠀the⠀urge⠀to⠀force⠀akira⠀back⠀—⠀they⠀hope⠀—⠀no⠀、know⠀、his⠀significant⠀other⠀has⠀no⠀bad⠀intentions⠀.⠀)
⠀ ⠀⠀﹝his fingertips are a little cold as he moves them, but his only intention is to tickle the other. he's searching for the right spot﹞ ⠀
