I want to talk to the Brave Police. Right now.

[Kagerou what have we said about locking your messages like this.]

[Apparently all those talks still fly out the window when you're upset. Oops. And boy, does he sound upset.]

[He listens to him intently. His face contorts into surprise, and a moment of fear, before it settles on mild concern. This was all a lot to... take in.

He's silent for a long moment before he scoots closer to Kagerou and wraps his arms around his middle.]

I... That all happened to you. I.

I wish I could have been here for you.

I'm sorry.

[thxforthememories]

[He stiffens, just for a moment, as he feels those arms around him. He honestly expected some kind of reprimand. Some harsh words about being too reckless.]

[But ...]

[Instead he returns the embrace. Tightly. Fiercely. His face buries in the other ninja's shoulder as slight tremors run through him.]

[He knows everything now -- there are no more secrets between them.]

No, I... You couldn't control it.

You're here now. That's all I wanted.

[loborobo]

[Shadowmaru clings to the other bot tightly, burying his face in his neck cables.]

You've been through so much. I... I'll make sure nothing else happens to you. [His hold turns more possessive. Scared. Frightened.]

I promise, nothing more will happen to you. You deserve better in life.

[thxforthememories]

I won't let you be hurt, either. Not ever. Not since you're here again...

[His own grip matches the other ninja's perfectly. Tight and fierce and possessive. He needs him.]

[He needs this.]

Don't say that. I have you now. That's all I ever deserved.

You.
