[pussyfortono]

[ maybe one day i will get used to you doing the same for me ]

[woodfortono]

[...maybe]

[pussyfortono]

Do you feel better?

[woodfortono]

...I guess. [but he's nuzzling at you a little]

[pussyfortono]

[ he's going to pet you then ]

[woodfortono]

[he shifts and wraps his arms around you, his back tensing a little before he blurts]

I hate this.

[pussyfortono]

. . . what do you hate?

[woodfortono]

Just--this stupid crap with Basco.

[pussyfortono]

That will change over time, Chiaki. But it did not help for you to see that.

[woodfortono]

[he just curls up further, his voice barely audible]

I hate being weak.

[pussyfortono]

[ that's when he cups your cheeks in his hands & drags your face up so he can look you in the eye ]

You are not weak, Chiaki. You are one of the strongest people I know.

[woodfortono]

[shakes his head and tries to pull away and not meeting your eyes]

Don't--he beat me, and there's nothing I can do about it. Don't.

[pussyfortono]

Am I weak for having been beaten by Jiu Wu?

[woodfortono]

What? No! But it doesn't matter, he's not a threat anymore. Basco... is.

[pussyfortono]

Camp can do more things and change that.

[woodfortono]

I know, just--

[shakes his head, not sure how to explain and getting more and more frustrated with himself]

I don't know, forget it.

[pussyfortono]

What is it?
