@trikotos It just hurts to hear you speak like that about yourself.
[ Mikoto eventually relaxes, running his other hand through the protector's hair. ]
@trikotos No, I don't think so. There's still time while we can still talk to one another.
[ He shakes his head, unable to help the small, worried frown on his lips. ]
@trikotos You deserve good things too. Just because you've done bad doesn't mean you don't deserve to become better.
[ Brushing his thumb along his cheekbone with a soft expression. ]
@trikotos Just felt like I should. You care about me so much; why should I not give the same treatment back?
[ One of his hands glides up John's back to caress his cheek. ]
@trikotos You'd hope I've learned that a lot after everything we've been through.
[ He rubs the back of his head with a tiny, earnest laugh. ]
Yes, I do know that. Just uhโ don't kill for me anymore, alright? Don't want to get in trouble again~
I understand your devotion.
