That warm smile finally faltered, a solemn one in its place while he listened, his fingers caressing under Tengen's jaw.
"Yes, I can imagine adjusting to both losses has been difficult. Though, I must admit I am relieved to see your dazzling nature has not dimmed."
“ah, it has it’s moments. a little uncomfortable currently but i can handle it”
his hand takes hold of kyojuro’s and Tengen is able to press a gentle kiss to his palm.
“not so much painful, but .. i don’t know. little like my hand, keep trying to use what isn’t there.”
"But of course you are.."
Kyojuro hummed in content as his hand brushed through silver strands, down to Tengen's temple to the curve of his cheek.
"How is your eye? From what I could see the scar looked to be healing nicely. Hopefully, it is mostly painless at this point."
“Hm”
he hums in thought, letting himself drift with the fingers that move effortlessly through his hair.
“I think I am content with being called greedy if it means I am able to devote my time and peace to you”
Another chuckle left the flame hashira as his hand settled back into Tengen's long hair once he was settled back in against Kyojuro.
"You say that now, after you have woken me up and received enough attention to satiate your neediness for sometime. Some might call you greedy."
removing his eye patch, it’s flung somewhere in the room so he can lay against Kyojuro’s chest more comfortably.
“I will just wait until you wake then, I cannot have you delaying your healing”

a soft, drawn out sigh leaves him while sprawling atop the other male.
“however, I do know you require your rest and I would hate to deprive you of it.”
But of course. He was so obviously never needy.
Who would say that about Tengen? He would never.
"Are you saying that when I am grasped by the hands of sleep, you are no longer able to devote your love to me? What a shame. I suppose I have no choice but to never sleep again."
how cute.
“never mind that, you’re awake now and I can continue devoting my love to you”
It’s not like he was being obnoxiously needy, he just missed Kyojuro.
Consider the fires of passion set ablaze within his heart!
A warm smile found his lips and bright eyes open and filled with fondness.
"It appears I have over slept. I apologize for neglecting you of my attention, how cruel of me!"
Even a frown looks good on him, however there should never be a reason for him to frown in the first place!
"What could cause you to look so downtrodden dearest?"
His expression dimmed at her words, but only just. There was still an uplifting smile on his lips, but the joy in his fiery eyes had fallen as his dear friend hinted at the fears that were growing in her heart.
