          ahah ~  *  a soft breath was given before his yellow eyes fell shut and he smiled lightly.  *  that eases me greatly..  i /was/ worried momentarily.  thank you for your reassurance.

Hey question,, is wattpad just glitching out or are you manually deleting my messages from your board? I’d like to know in case I should stop trying to talk to you.

@IMMORTALICS 
          
          kehehe...  you make a fair point.  *  the anthropologist nodded slowly,  turning the piece of plant over in his hand with his thumb as he gazed down at it.  *  no,  no...  i would like to keep it if you are allowing me to.  i appreciate it as well,  kei.  what made you decide to get an aloe vera?  

@IMMORTALICS 
          
          oh -  *  korekiyo cut himself off,  eyes widened slightly as he looked at the aloe vera.  he took it carefully in a bandaged hand.  *  is this for me?

@IMMORTALICS 
          
          aloe vera?  did you know that aloe vera has been used for medicinal purposes in several cultures?  probably...  oh!  but did you know that nefertiti and cleopatra used aloe vera as part of their beauty regimes?

          *  thoughtlessly,  korekiyo pressed kei's cheeks in a little harder with his palms.  like he was giving their face an affectionate squeeze.  soon,  a warm smile settled on his red yet hidden lips.  *  that is understandable.  anyone can get emotional at times.  i am just honored you came to me of all people for comfort ~  *  the anthropologist wasn't always the /most/ aware of boundaries so a thumb brushed against the ajin's upper lip just for a second before his hands were moved.  he hugged him loosely once more.  *  i am well aware that i am not the most..  /comforting/ presence but as long as i can be of some help to you,  i will be happy.  that will be good enough for me.

          *  korekiyo felt the /squeeze/.  the fingertips pressing into the fabric of his jacket.  of his /back/.  he tried to press closer to the ajin.  to hug it tighter.  yet,  they seemed as close together as they could get for now.  *  oh?  kehehe...  fortunately for you,  i can say the same.  you are so /dear/ to me.  i cannot let you go.  *  he replied simply,  slowly leaning back.  that way,  korekiyo could press his palms against kei's cheeks and stare down into his eyes.  *  are you sure nothing is the matter?  you've certainly never acted this way before.  it is unlike you.  it worries me a bit ~  *  he mused lowly,  thumbs thoughtlessly caressing their soft skin.  *

@IMMORTALICS 
          
          *  korekiyo knew that he himself was not that good of a person when it really came down to it.  still,  there was something about the way it said that it didn't deserve him that made the anthropologist's heart give a bit of a flutter.  such sweet words.  a sigh was muffled by his mask,  fingers continuing to thoughtlessly stroke and run through the soft,  dark hair.  he turned his head enough to give the side of kei's head a light nudge with his nose.  the mask prevented him from giving a kiss,  but surely that was close enough to one?  *  where would i possibly go?  of course i will not leave you.  i shall be here always.  whenever you need me.

@IMMORTALICS 
          
          then...  stand we will.  *  the anthropologist spoke out softly,  glancing down at the ajin from the corner of a yellow hue.  he smiled to himself when he felt the tightened grip on him.  seeing them like this was very endearing.  this was certainly a moment korekiyo wouldn't soon forget.  *  take as long as you need ~  i'm certainly not going anywhere.  *  the low rumble of the taller's voice was hopefully somewhat soothing.  his hand shifted from kei's back so instead,  his fingers ran through the ajin's dark strands of hair.  *
