[raven's caught up in nero's gaze, in that fond smile, and when nero's hand brushes his hair he holds it to his cheek. for a few moments he just keeps it there]

I... did say you were easy to confide in. It seems I'm... drawn to that.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[There's a glimmer of sympathy in his eyes as he studies Raven's face. The gauntness of it, the hunger for warmth.]

...You probably were alone too, weren't you?

[selfpreservationist]

... it feels that way. This kind of closeness is... unfamiliar. And, if I'm being honest... frightening, too. Yet I still... yearn for it.

[closes his eyes for a moment, unwilling to let go of nero's hand just yet]

[gigadevilbreaker]

Doesn't have to be frightening.

[His thumb idly strokes against the sharp edges of Raven's cheekbone as he shifts closer. Almost close enough for their faces to touch.]

[selfpreservationist]

[raven opens his eyes again, and his breathing stops when he sees how close nero's face is]

I... I'm not afraid. Not right now.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Good.

[He smiles and, after a moment of pause, rests his forehead against Raven's and closes his eyes, contented.]

I will do my best. To keep you safe. I swear it.

[selfpreservationist]

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

raven swallows and shifts closer, just by a few inches]

... thank you.
