There's no need to fear the past. The past is just a memory.

That tracks, actually.

[ moonlight bridge walk good. he feels so much happier than he did like 10 minutes ago. the mounting anxiety is slowly melting back down, and he just focuses quietly on matching their steps together because why not. ]

So um... thanks for hanging out with me at the museum the other day. That was really fun. [ he turns a bit to look at him, a smile on his lips. ]

[allmenare]

[He is finding himself quickly growing weak to those smiles.]

Of course. I was curious to see what it offered, and having company made it more enjoyable.

[silicone]

[ oh. ]

Man, I'm really glad to hear that.

[ looking away quickly, but his ears a bit pink. he's still smiling, like he's maybe a little proud. ]

You're easy to be around. [ shrugs ] I think so, anyways.

[allmenare]

[Oh wow they match! Fukuzawa doesn't show his emotions strongly, but the pink ear tips don't lie.]

Is that so?

[silicone]

Yeah. [ swinging their hands quietly. it's impulse. ] It's weird, I just, feel like I could tell you anything and somehow it'd all be okay.

[ sheepishly ] Dumb, right?

[allmenare]

I wouldn't say it's dumb.

[Actually it makes Fukuzawa feel kind of happy, to be trusted like that.]

I can't promise everything will always be okay, but I can try my best.

[silicone]

What if we both try our best?

[ smiling a little more ]

Can't all always be on you.

[allmenare]

...alright then. We'll both try our best.

[He's smiling softly as he says that.]

[silicone]

[ oh...

he's so handsome when he smiles like that... and like period.

he may just kind of, hesitantly, place his head on his shoulder as they walk. this is nice. he feels... reassured. ]

Mmm. Thank you... don't shoulder burdens alone when there are people who care about you enough to help.

[allmenare]

[Oh help, that's kind of close and Fukuzawa is going to get a little awkward over it. But he clears his throat after a moment and speaks again, trying to sound cool even though there's a head on his shoulder right now.]

I'll try not to. It's difficult though.

[silicone]

[ hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe ]

You're responsible for your subordinates back home... it's a heavy weight on your shoulders, I bet.

[allmenare]

It's certainly more difficult than it was when I worked alone. But working in a group has benefits.

[silicone]

It definitely does... it's something I've learned over time.
