[sancrimony]

[ now he is watching him . . . watch him.

casually, looking around a bit more before looking back to him ]

Sorry—did I wake you up?

[selfpreservationist]

No. You can go back to sleep if you want to.

[sancrimony]

. . . No, I think I'm awake, now.

[ carefully, undoing some of the bindings to his hands, though he doesn't otherwise try to move away. tipping his head against raven more, even ]

[selfpreservationist]

[curling closer to him, one arm slung over his midriff]

Stay. Don't go anywhere.

[sancrimony]

. . . I won't go anywhere.

[ still, trying to work his hands completely free ]

[selfpreservationist]

What are you doing?

[sancrimony]

I was thinking, it would be easier to hug Raven-san if I had my hands free . . .

[ there's a pause, and then belatedly asking for permission: ]

I can't?

[selfpreservationist]

You'll just leave, if I let you.

[sancrimony]

. . . It's just my arms, though. I couldn't leave with my legs bound, right?

[selfpreservationist]

... I guess that's true.

[the bindings slowly start to loosen, but they stay tight on his legs]

[sancrimony]

[ oh good

stretching out his arms for a moment, before reaching out to hug. hello ]

Is this fine?

[selfpreservationist]

[curls close, sighing with relief]

This is fine.

[sancrimony]

[ with a fond hum, reaching up to pet his hair ]

I didn't know you were lonely.

[selfpreservationist]

[lowers his eyes, relaxing]

... no one needs me.

[sancrimony]

[ . . . ]

Why do you say that?

[selfpreservationist]

Because I was discarded... thrown away and left for dead.

[sancrimony]

. . . A memory?

[selfpreservationist]

Yes. I was torn from my former self... he rejected me, cut me away. He hated me... hated everything I represented.

[sancrimony]

[ giving a soft noise of understanding, quiet for a moment ]

Even so . . . he is not the only one who can need you, is he?

[selfpreservationist]

... no. But I... don't want to be alone.

[sancrimony]

And I did not say that you would be.

[ brushing away a bit of hair from his eyes ]

Rather—have you ever been? ☆ZRAEL needs you, after all.

[selfpreservationist]

Do they?

[sancrimony]

Would you disagree?

[selfpreservationist]

... I don't know. I... feel like I need them more than they need me.

[sancrimony]

My.

Are you unsatisfied by that? Do you wish to feel as though, between the two of you, you'd be the one to survive if things were cut off—that they couldn't survive without you, but you could survive without them?
