Chapter Text
He sees Yuuta go, to look back at Maki that looks already done with the day.
He stays where he is, in the same bed as her, appreciating her discreetly but not really.
There is a smile wanting to appear again on his lips, if Yuuta were still here, he would send him a knowing look that he would ignore, because Yuuta can't be the one catching these things, he's the youngest of them, the "innocent" one.
Maki sensed his eyes before really seeing it.
She's not wuzzy, really, it's nobody's business but hers if her stomach is filled with fluttering butterflies or if she feels her cheeks heat up further.
It's nobody's business if she feels a little giddy when she opens her eyes and sees Inumaki sitting beside her, looking so handsome like that.
his pretty silky hair and those beautiful eyes that say more then his words and she swears he's blushing, fuck.
fuck fuck fuck fuck.
"What are you looking at?" She says bluntly, raised an eyebrow
nice going Maki , she looks away embarrassed
He laughs, but not in a mocking way, he would never make fun of Maki, maybe tease her, like how much he wants to tease her about how her face looks all red, although she tries to hide it by looking everywhere but at him.
But he doesn't, because Maki could and would kick his ass, something that, in itself, wouldn't be bad... at all.
He doesn't think about that at the moment, when his priority is to make Maki take a break, to forget his responsibilities for a moment. He knows her leg is still hurt, her energy is just recovering.
"Tuna," he says, trying to catch her attention, to then put one of his hands over the injured leg. Like always, he wishes to communicate like a normal person, to use his words entirely, the closer he gets it's using a text, maybe write something, but he doesn't have that at hand, so make signs it is.
With his free hand he points at her to point at the sad pillow on the bed, trying to express what he wants.
(His other hand, still on his leg, press it lightly, comfortingly, caring, l-)
Maki turns her head towards Inumaki, her cheeks still raging hot and face moody but she's a weak, weak woman, and he's a sight for sore eyes.
For a moment the breath catches on her throat, the warmth of his hand seeps through her clothing and it makes her feel secure and cared for.
She thinks, had she been raised in a better environment, if she had her emotions on check before could've they? been tog— for a second of course, she can't allow herself to get all sappy or else she won't hear the end of it.
Maki raises an eyebrow at the motion, sending a look to the abandoned pillow on the other bed, before turning back to Inumaki, she understands what he's asking but she'll be damned if she doesn't use it to tease the poor guy.
(She's not thinking about how thoughtful he is! she isn't!)
"You know, people are usually not that innocuous when trying to get in bed with someone else." Her voice is deadpan but her eyes shine with amusement, the corner of her mouth tilting upwards just barely.
He blinks, feeling the temperature of the room skyrocket, or maybe it was just himself.
He knows she's teasing, because she's the only one that could without consequences.
At that moment he remembers where one of his hands is, which makes him remove it to move both hands in front of him, somewhat panicked to frown, not really upset, but his pout is visible.
He starts making various signs that could mean angry words, or just nothing, it doesn't matter because he ends up falling on the bed because now he will be petty and won't move from there.
Maki sat up, suddenly worried then she was him splayed all over the floor, Maki snorted before covering her mouth looking away as she struggled down a noise.
Don't laugh Don't laugh Don't laugh Don't laugh Don't laugh Don't laugh
She cleared her throat, drowning down the last of a chuckle as she peered from the edge of the bed, eyes crunching lightly in half moons.
"Is it comfortable down there?" She asked, blinking slowly, a warm expression on her face.
She's about to say something else but her phone rings, a notification ring, she takes it out, the name of Yuuta springs first thing. She reads the message, sending a bunch of thumbs ups back as a response, she thinks for a moment before she's typing back something else
Be good on babysitting duty
don't indulge the kid in too many sweets
She turns to Inumaki, staring him down again before speaking "Inumaki-chan, Yuuta left some things for us at the door, mind getting them?"
He frowns at her, feeling the cold floor on his back, he wants to show her the finger but he doesn't want to die, so he gets up to get to the door, not without grumbling.
When he opens the door, there is a backpack leaning on the wall right next to the door.
He takes it already snooping what's inside, when he sees Maki's tablet, he knows what he won't give to Maki.
He goes back in, already taking out the little onigiris to give one to Maki, with a pout still on his face. She needs to eat something, both of them really.
His stomach makes a sound in that precise moment to remind him of that.
He put a bottle of water right next to Maki to go sit on the floor, right next to her bed, while hugging the bag. She would have to say please if she wants anything else on there.
Maki stared down at the at Inumaki sitting on the floor, she was very amused by it, she laid down once again, her face leveling against Inumaki’s own, her eyes bright and warm. “Why are you such a pouty baby?”
Her tone was tinted in amusement as she reached over her index finger, booping him lightly on the nose. He’s so cute , she thought to herself, very charmed by the man’s petty nature.
“Awww are you mad?” She began, laying on her side to see him completely this time, laugh barely concealed in her voice. “Will you forgive me, Toge–senpai?” She said, she knew Inummaki didn’t care all that much about seniority (not like he could pull it with her, he was younger) but a little nudge may make him loosen his grip on her tablet.
He blinks at the boop, almost letting go of the bag, but he quickly recovers to look at her with a frown.
He shakes his head to raise a finger, when he has Maki's full attention, he moves his hand with his finger up and then points to the clock on the wall and then points to the bed.
One hour at least of rest before he could give it to her
He would never put himself between Maki and her job, not if Maki isn't in danger, but if he can make her take it easy at least for a while, he will.
Maki huffs lightly, melting into the bed with a questioning look on her expression, she thinks he’s feeling a bit petty and that had to do more with his refusal to give her her tablet, blinking tiredly as she shook her head.
“Why are you like this?” She hummed softly, taking a deep breath before letting it out once again, frowning lightly.
“Fine, but only if you get on your bed, get off the floor.” Maki said, amusement tinting her tone
He is watching her closely, the same way she is doing it. He ends up showing her his tongue in response to her question and then, seeing that he won, smiles broadly at her and doesn't push his luck by going to his own bed.
If his smile becomes a little smug, he would totally agree.
Maki snorted, narrowing her eyes at that cheeky expression on Inumaki's face, she's very amused by it.
and charmed too, she's not telling him that though.
He settles into his bed, with the backpack next to him and his food in his hands. He looks back at Maki to raise one of his eyebrows.
How he wants to know what Maki is thinking at that moment.
Making huffs out a sound, moving to his back as she takes her eyes away from Inumaki's form.
Caught staring, what am I? 15?
She looks at the roof for some time, she promise she tries to fall asleep but she simply can't, so that's that, she sits on the bed once again. She's restless.
Maki takes the onigiri she had neglected in favor of teasing Inumaki and begins to nibble on it, hunger not really being a thing for her at the moment.
He is enjoying his drink, with his food already finished while at the same time he glances at Maki out of the corner of his eye.
He's glad that she's at least trying, and just because of him . That makes him feel happy, and kind of relieved for her wellbeing.
Maki finishes her onigiri and she feels a little... better, so she supposes the food helped, a little, she won't tell that to neither men, it'll get to their heads, she knew.
She takes the water on the bedside, taking a few sips from it before she's pulling a face. She really wants tea, she finishes the last of her bottle before setting it back down.
He's already writing some stuff in the notebook Yuuta puts on the backpack, his drink is finished and he has some cough drops on his mouth.
Those help his throat feel better than it does at the moment, not that it would make Maki let him back to the mission.
He guesses that Yuuta will have to "have fun" without him.
Maki lays on her side, if asked, she would say it is to have partial vision on the door of the infirmary just in case of an emergency, in the privacy of her mind she admits it's only to see his face.
her eyes line down Toge's profile, looking for the sharp corner of his eyebrows to the soft and rounded fall from his cheeks.
She looks and stares and stares and stares until the weight of the day is pulling on her, her eyes fluttering lightly before she's closing her eyes.
He feels Maki's eyes on him, it's a family feeling, a good feeling.
He tries to ignore it, though.
If he looks back, if he catches her looking, Maki would stop doing it, she would avoid it like the plague, and he doesn't want that. He wants Maki to look at him, like he looks at her when he thinks knows she isn't looking.
It's after a long minute that he finally looks up to find Maki's eyes close, and he smiles, because Maki's face starts to relax, to make all her hard lines on her face disappear.
Tense or relaxed, she still looks pretty, even if Maki would hate to be called that.
Beautiful, then.
Maki jolts at the sound of her phone ringing, her eyes still a little droopy from the sleep she managed to catch in the time she was here, she looked around, getting back her bearings before her eyes stopped at Inumaki's figure.
He heard the phone ring seconds before seeing Maki wake up. At least she sleeps a little, he thinks while following her movements with his eyes.
He felt tired, but it wasn't enough to fall asleep like Maki did, so he was watching over her until she woke up again. And now he only has several simple sketches of Maki sleeping that will never see the light of day.
Right... right, She rubs her eyes lightly, her hands touching around as she searches for her phone, finding it in the front pocket of her pants.
Your cousin was here
Sending him to you, hope he waits
She reads the message quickly, not understanding anything at all before she reads it again, slower this time, words finally registering in her mind.
alone?
is the kid alr?
yes, but the collar really wounds his neck
Itadori-kun's collar needs fixing, don't forget
Maki sighs reading the second message, right, she needs to find it whenever Fushiguro has thrown it in.
will do, keep in contact
Maki sighs before she's sitting on the bed once again, sending a thumbs up to Yuuta before locking her phone, that out of the way there's the next problem, she turns towards Toge, her expression softening from the worry she didn't know she even had.
"Toge, mind passing me my tablet, please?" She asked, putting her hand towards the other, a small yawn leaving her mouth as she did so.
First secure the position of the proper collar, then look up for a decent room to move Itadori, pray Megumi doesn't come to the infirmary before those two are finished, take a shower, drop dead on her office for a few hours. Maki nodded to herself, that sounds like one hell of a plan.
She yawns again, this is exactly why she doesn't take naps in the afternoon, it makes her sleepy like high hell,
He frowns, clearly noticing how exhausted the other still is.
He sends an angry look at the phone, whoever it was (maybe Yuuta?) messed up Maki's sleep, and he isn't happy about it. But will it be an emergency? Has something happened?
His angry expression changes to one of concern and finally he sighs somewhat exasperatedly and nods slightly. He throws his sketches in the backpack to then take out the tablet. He sends a serious look at Maki to get out of the bed and go near her to give it to her
He decides to sit on the chair still in the middle of the beds rather than going back to his own.
Maki took the tablet into her lap, fingers swiftly moving around the screen as she tried to locate the place of the correct collar.
She also needs to see the occupied rooms around the school, maybe one near the teacher's buildings would be good to not put the kids at too much risk and it would be a great way to keep an eye on the teen, maybe even not having to have constant camera surveillance.
and also a better bed, god's knows that one was uncomfortable
He observes her working, like he always does, and yeah, he would never get tired of it.
She's feeling a little bit better by the time she secures two options, one is, as she wanted, in the teacher's building, which is good and nice and she's very very happy about, the only problem being that it was the furthest away from her side of the wing.
She can work with that though.
The other dorm room? was on the eastern side of the first years building, it was the furthest and the room that was actually just a quick touch up rather than the whole acclimatization she'd have to do on any other room
it was Yuuta's old room apparently, which, she tried not to think about it too much, her gut churning with anger towards the Gojo’s
He starts another sketch, discreetly drawing the expressions that Maki is making.
From time to time he writes things that he needs to do in the corners, to not forget, not that his memory is bad, but he just gets distracted constantly.
So the finished collar is still in her office, which, good, she lets out a sigh of relief, now to the worst problem, why in god’s name is the collar in her (their) office and not benign used by the teen currently with Yuuta.
She wasn’t blind, she knew that Megumi wasn’t in the best mental state, not after Yuuji’s– Itadori’s defection (not that she would say anything to him about it, he was still her cousin and the only person that stood up for her inside the clan), still, she had a more positive view on him.
She understood Yuuta’s reluctance in Megumi handling Itadori-kun care, hell she had seen the little scene he had made when the kid referred to Ryoumen like he did (his parent, her mind supplied unhelpfully) but he was still her superior and there was only so much she could do to pacify him.
But even with all that she couldn’t think, the thought hadn’t even crossed her mind until Yuuta had told her about the collar, that he could purposefully do damage to a child, he was younger than Suguru for god sake.
There had to be another explanation to all of this, at least she hoped for one.
He puts another cough drop on his mouth, as he stands up to stretch his muscles a little. Little by little he feels like new.
Ieiri-chan deserves something for always being there for them, not skipping classes, though he knows she already skips physical training most of the time.
He would let Yuuta decide, he's always good with gifts.
Maki sighs, cracking her back a little as she finally straightens up, she sends Toge a look, she feels a little more relaxed, finally an extra weight getting off her back. "It's done!" She said, locking her tablets before closing the cover of the screen, humming contently, eyebrows raising with a carefree expression.
She took out her phone, sending Yuuta a quick message.
I have the location of the collar.
she thinned her lips debating if she should say anything before deciding to do so.
Megumi hasn't shown up.
and I have two possible rooms but I'd rather go to you later on the day so you and Itadori can choose.
She locked her phone again, putting it down as she reached over for her water bottle, taking a few sips from the bottle feeling thankful from Toge's little gesture a few hours before.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" She asks, looking at how Toge's drinking his cough syrup. He sent some thumbs up while smiling at Maki. He can notice how Maki looks better by now, maybe she did need to work, just a little.
"Salmon!", his throat has hurt more on other occasions so this is nothing, "Mustard leaf?", but even if Maki looks better, she's good at hiding things sometimes, less and less for him, but he would always ask anyway.
She was about to answer again but then her phone pinged, she took it out to read the message, Maki snorted a little, quickly typing up in her phone to send Okkotsu a quick message to calm him down.
Weird, maybe he is gonna take Tsukumo Yuki-chan somewhere before seeing you.
And sounds fine, but don't come if you are still feeling tired, ok? ╰（‵□′）╯
I am all good rn
need me to bring anything?
"I'm alright Toge." Maki said, sending her a small scrunch of her nose as she moved, her legs dangling from the edge of the bed as she kicked them a little, testing the pain on her leg but it was fine.
it hurts a little but nothing that she can't deal with, so she tests standing, she drowns a little hiss from the initial sting but doesn't do anything outward.
I'm alright Toge , she says, and he sees her make a face right when she puts weight on her leg. He frowns, crossing his arms, to look at her leg to look into her eyes several times.
She looks at Toge sheepishly but refuses to sit back down, doubling down on her decision of her being alright. "I'm fine!" She insisted, as she made a show of taking a few steps around the room, shoving down a grimace that threatened to show on her face.
He rolls his eyes to go right next to her and holds his forearm carefully to stop her. "Tuna," he tries to show how concerned he was with his eyes, "Mustard leaf".
He wants to say so many things to her, like how even if he knows she's strong, the strongest person that he knows, she should take it easy, that he's just worried about her because she doesn't worry about herself almost all the time.
He frowns, feeling frustrated to grip a little tighter her forearm to ask for her phone.
He really needs her to know.
Maki stared at Toge frowning for a moment, a soft sigh leaving his mouth as she sat back down, she unlocked the phone and passed it along to the other male her mouth was pursed in a thin line, she knew he was coming from a place of concern.
Still, she was a little miffed, she let out a low sigh, looking up at Toge as he wrote what he wanted to tell her.
He takes the phone nodding in gratitude to start writing. He bites his lip nervously while he thinks exactly what to say though.
Maki-chan
He knows she hates it, but he can't stop himself.
you are the strongest person that I know. you could kick my AND yuuta's asses even at the same time, but that doesn't make me care less for your wellbeing.
take it easy for a couple of hours, you already show everyone how capable you are
if it's not for you, because we both know you suck at taking care of yourself...
He stops writing to send her a look that in a moment she would get to continue.
do it for me...
And maybe, just maybe that was too personal so he wrote something else.
and yuuta, yuuta would cry if you don't take care of yourself. we both know he will
He nods to himself to give it back to her.
She sent Toge a look at the first line, expression deadpan before she continued reading her expression a little amused, eyes filled with mirth and slight playful shine. She knew she was always working hard on the way people perceived her, it was that way since she was very little actually, it was ingrained in her mind.
She was a woman, she was weak, she wasn't capable.
So she shut down the Zenin with work and progress. She was one of the brightest minds in the Jujutsu field, maybe only overshadowed by Yuki Tsukumo, but well, she was a bright little girl so it was hardly something to feel bad about.
Maki however saw what Toge meant, he didn't say it in a you're a woman you should be softer way but rather in a I don't want you to crash and burn down over working yourself to the bone. She thought it was thoughtful but also utterly ridiculous (it wasn't, she knew that).
"I know, I know." Maki muttered quietly, her eyes lighting up at the do it for me, her cheeks turning two darker shades of pinkish red. The comment about Yuuta made her laugh, covering her mouth with a free hand.
"I will, I promise." She muttered, headbutting Toge's arm where he was standing near him.
Her blushing is always cute, he thinks, already feeling a smile appearing on his face, but it's when she laughs, that cute sound and her eyes closing for a second, that makes him freeze, feeling his face too warm for his liking.
It's good that Maki lowered her gaze at getting closer to his arm, because he wouldn't want her to see his face all red. "S-Salmon," it's the only thing he can say to that.
Maki chuckles again, the little stutter makes her feel very endeared as she looks upwards, her eyes meeting the silvery Christmas lights that Toge had for eyes. Her breath catches at the edge of her lips, the red cheeks of the other make her belly do a flip and her heart flutters and she has to brace herself against Toge's frame to not fall forward.
The time seemed to stop for a second, her face lighting up with a stronger flush, mouth slightly open, she thinks... that this might not be too bad.
Toge wasn't exactly her usual type, he was shorter and softer around the edges, he was also quite the non serious person when he wanted to be but there was this charm around him that she can't bring herself to look away from completely.
He doesn't know when he stopped looking at the infirmary wall to look at Maki's eyes looking back. His face feels warmer somehow. He blinks once, twice, then again, they are closer, he thinks while having Maki still against him.
He feels himself swallowed nervously, Maki's face is so close to his and maybe it's his imagination but he's moving to her, is he? He is. He knows everything that he likes about Maki since they first met, but at the moment he just thinks how soft her lips look.
She feels like screaming, seeing him leaning in closer to her, she licks her lips in an unconscious manner, head tilting upwards just barely, allowing Toge's breath to intermingle with hers.
warm breaths mingle and mix and she's moving her head to the side, getting closer to the other, eyes focusing in those beautiful silvery pools of warmth, it makes her stomach fill with butterflies drawing in a quiet gasp.
"Toge..." She muttered, she wanted to say something, anything, she wanted to claw her heart out and bare herself vulnerable and soft like she hadn't been since she was a kid, instead she tentatively raised a hand to hold one of his cheeks.
She had dreamed of something like this when she had been younger, a though, handsome prince that would be larger than life, she finds herself feeling rather content with her current predicament.
Their position is kind of awkward, but he doesn't mind, and it looks like Maki doesn't either. They haven't broken eye contact and his chest hurts a little for not breathing while still looking at those eyes that they seem to look through him.
He almost doesn't catch his name, but he does.
It makes him tremble at how soft Maki's voice sounds, and feel her warm hand on his cheek...
He finally closed the distance between them, he let's a sigh over her lips, feeling how these indeed are soft like he imagined. One of his hands holds her closer without thinking but feeling their bodies fits like that, he guess it was a good idea.
Maki gasps into the kiss, she feels her cheeks light up crimson hues, she closes her eyes, fireworks blooming behind her eyelids,
Her mouth quivers lightly and she wants so much more, she had waited for this for such a long time and she's not willing to just let go, instead her other hand went and took the other cheek before she departed from the kiss, staring down at Toge, her eyes shining before she leaned in closer.
"Toge-chan," She murmured against his lips, never passing the opportunity to tease the male "I love you." She said voice velvety smooth before she went in for another kiss, she perked up a little, straightening her back as she chased further for Toge's lips.
Now, with the shock having subsided she enjoyed the taste of rice filled lips, it was weirdly fitting. She was chasing the taste of kelp in his mouth. She never thought she'd ever do something like this but here she was, getting drunk on the taste of onigiri ingredients.
He squeezed his eyes shut, feeling Maki's calloused yet soft hands press his cheeks to then be able to breathe again when separated. He can even taste the saltiness of the onigiri rice on Maki's lips.
Maki is talking to him seconds later, making him focus his gaze on her and he feels like he can't breathe again, not when Maki finds herself literally glowing.
Then, then
'I love you'
Something is pressing his chest with force, and he knows it's not his inability in breathing at the moment. He forgets about it right away when he feels Maki's warm lips against his again.
But the kiss is different than the first, there is movement, there is more closeness, there is need.
And maybe he made countable happy sounds in between.
She didn't want to scare him, but Maki was driven by the overwhelming desire of holding him close, folding him and storing him next to her heart. Her hands slipped down towards his waist, gripping the covered flesh with bruising force as she pulled him closer.
"I love you, i love you, I've loved you for so long," she whispered against his lips, her breath hot and heavy as she fought to maintain control. "You're too damn good to me, Toge. I can't... I can't bear to lose you now."
Her words were a confession, a plea for forgiveness, and a declaration of intent all rolled into one. She was losing herself into the lips of the other, unnamed feelings blooming into her heart that threatened to consume them both.
"Don't leave," she begged, her voice trembling as she fought to keep her grip steady. breath short as she went in for another kiss and another and then another again.
When she didn't have breath anymore she separated herself just a little, barely enough for them both to recover their breathing back.
For the first time in a long time she allowed herself to want something that hadn't anything to do with her revenge against the Zenin nor her desire to research, she wanted Toge to stay by her side.
She needed him to stay.
His hands caress her over her clothes to position themselves on her back. She already did the work of getting them as close as possible. They fit together, he had already noticed it but they continue doing it.
Her voice, like every time they are together, it's clear in his ears, the words though, the words are new, precious, some that he would like to say back. He's frustrated, he bites the inside of his cheek, while feeling the warm breath over his lips every time Maki says something.
He wants to say...
You aren't going to lose me
You deserve people to be good to you
You deserve everything
But he can't, he can't and he hates it, he wants to comfort Maki's doubts, her fears, he wants to promise her everything she deserves but he can't.
Don't leave, she says and he wants to tell her how nothing would make him leave her. He can't say everything he wants to say, but he can show it, he would try to show her every time he can now.
He's gasping for air, because of the kisses, because of the words, it doesn't matter.
One of his hands mirrors hers, holding her warm cheek, looking at their eyes to lick his lips, after swallowing. "Maki," his name is safe, she has always been safe.
He says his name like it means everything to him, because it does, to then get closer again, but their lungs wouldn't resist another round, at least not for now, so he starts by pressing his lips on her cheek, then on her forehead and then everything he can.
He wants every kiss to be a word that he can't say. He wants her to know how she has his love, like he has hers.
She looks at Toge, studying his features closely. She reaches out a hand and hesitates for a moment before running her fingers through his hair, enjoying the softness of it under her fingers. Her heart pounds in his chest as he realizes how much he enjoys the feeling of Toge's body next to hers.
The mention of her name makes her jolt a little, the little dazed stare and half-lidded eyes suddenly widen, a gasp stuck on her throat as the implications feel down her like ice water.
He considers her a safe word.
Her name is safe.
Maki can't help the quiet giggle that leaves her lips, eyes filling up with warms tears as a lovely feeling blooms on her chest and makes her go redder.
She relishes under his skillfully placed kisses, her bad habit of holding everyone at an arm's length often translated into a severe touch starvation that she didn't know she had until either Yuuta or Toge held her so she practically melted against a warm and firm hand next to her cheek.
She knew he couldn't freely speak so her name from his lips felt like heaven against her lip.
There are so many new expressions on Maki's face that it makes him almost choke on air.
Her hand is in his hair but his attention is in her eyes where those rebel tears threaten to fall, in her lips that just make a cute sound. His lips go there, tasting her lips again, going after her eyes, where he can feel the tears. Happy tears.
He rubs his hand that is on her cheek to rub the other one with his own. He wants to feel her closer than what he thought he would ever be able to, and Maki is letting him. He would enjoy every second of it.
Maki sniffled softly, nuzzling her face against Toge's warm palm, enjoying the soft sense of it against her skin, leaving a chaste and soft kiss over it.
"Toge, Toge Toge Toge," She muttered repeatedly, slips stretched into a toothy grin, eyes crunching up lightly as soft little crow feets developed at the corner of her eyes. "I love you."
It's like a weight has lifted over her shoulders, but no, that wouldn't be a fair comparison, she didn't feel like a burden left her body, but rather like words that she had always been at the border of uttering out finally left the threshold of her mouth.
and damn if it didn't feel good, she thinks she'll be able to say it for the rest of her life
I love you, I love you, I love you.
He smiles contented at Maki's words, at how happy Maki is right now.
That's what he always wanted: Make Maki happy when he could.
He wishes he could tell her how much he loves her too, not yet, but he would make sure that someday he is going to do it. Not that he can't think about it, but he has to think about it.
I love your smile
I love your eyes
I love how cute your laugh sounds
I love everything about you
For now he just says her name, the safest word in the world while they hold each other keeping each other safe, and he would keep it that way.
