how many pcs can we have in one week…

[townmusician]

[As things calm down, Haruka seeks out Xiao again. Things just keep escalating, constantly. The whole “oh we don’t need more sacrifices” thing doesn’t seem to have made things actually calm down at all, and Haruka will admit seeing Xiao snap like that…

Haruka doesn’t think he’s going to forget that scream any time soon.]

Hey, Xiao.

[time for some handholdin’]

Are you… feeling okay?

IDK BUT W6 BAYBEE

[plunges]

[ Handholding is nice. So is Haruka. So is not feeling like you're about to snap any minute, now.

He frowns as he squeezes Haruka's hand. ]

Yes. I...I feel fine. Even so... Haruka – I am sorry you had to see that.

[ He's ashamed. ]

[townmusician]

[It's not okay, not in the slightest, but... all's well that ends well, or something sort of adjacent to that because things certainly aren't over yet.]

...I was really worried, for a second there.

[Might as well be honest! There's no point lying to spare Xiao's feelings, not at this point.]

That you were going to hurt Temenos-san or Billy Butcher, but...

[That noise, whatever it was, happened right on time.]

What was that? Like, do you - is that karmic debt still there?

[He Is Confusion.]

[plunges]

I...right now, no. I don't feel it.

[ He closes his eyes. ]

Haruka... I am sorry for worrying you. If this...changes anything with us, I understand.

I want what is best for you. I always have.

[townmusician]

[Haruka blinks at him, more then a little dumbfounded.]

I mean... sure, it was a little scary seeing that actually happen, but... I already knew it was a possibility?

[mentally he is ratshaking xiao]

So why would this change anything?

[plunges]

...

[ He laughs quietly, and he can't help but smile to himself. ]

Fair enough. Thank you, then, for staying with me.

[townmusician]

You're welcome, Xiao.

[He squeezes his hand, and then leans down to press a kiss to his cheek.]

You're... really feeling better, though?

[plunges]

[ He nods. He seems earnest. ]

Whatever Shigaraki did...it cleared my karmic debt, at least momentarily. I can feel it starting to stir again, but my thoughts are much clearer.

And...thank you. You risked your life for me, Haruka.

[townmusician]

[Well, shame it's not a permanent thing... but it's still good that it's not a problem for the time being.]

...I did, but I would rather risk my life to bring you back then sit around and do nothing. It was a risk worth taking.

[plunges]

[ ... ]

I am indebted to you.

[ He leans in for a kiss. They deserve it, after everything. ]

[townmusician]

[Oh, kisses. Kisses make everything better.]

I think "indebted" is a bit too far, don't you? What could I even ask you for in payment?

[And he already saved Haruka's life, all those weeks ago.]

[plunges]

Whatever you'd like.

[ He gives Haruka a small, tired smile. It's not sad, at least.

It's an improvement. ]

[townmusician]

[what if he just wants to get railed, xiao.]

Whatever I like... You sure you want to risk that? I can be pretty demanding, you know!

[But it's a joke, more then anything else, trying to bring some brightness to this conversation.]

[plunges]

[ I MEAN, HE'LL DO IT, ]

I know. Be as demanding as you'd like.

[ He'll play along. It's nice. ]

[townmusician]

[fucking simp]

Ehhh, you're going to spoil me if you have an attitude like that.

[plunges]

You say that as if it's a bad thing.

[ He likes making Haruka happy. He deserves to be, after everything he's been through. Xiao could've handled this alone. Haruka, maybe not so much.

Still, it says a lot that they're both still here. ]

[townmusician]

It might be a bad thing for you~

[He pulls Xiao in for another kiss.]

I'm not sure you can keep up with all of my demands, old man.

[plunges]

[ He returns the kiss, but when Haruka speaks again, Xiao's tempted to go in for another one just to shut him up.

Instead, he just rolls his eyes. ]

List them. I have no doubt that I'll be able to keep up with them.

[townmusician]

Well, for a start...

[He makes grabby hands at Xiao.]

Pick me up?

[plunges]

[ Xiao blinks. He doesn't quite understand the demand, but he'll go ahead and easily swoop Haruka off of his feet, into a princess carry.

He looks down at him. ]

...Why am I doing this, again?

[townmusician]

[kyaaaaa]

Because it's very cool and very sexy you can just carry me like this.

[Please pardon him as he shamelessly feels Xiao's bicep.]

[plunges]

[ Kindly, Haruka, what the fuck. ]

How is this...

[ How is this attractive? He doesn't get it. Haruka, you are so strange. ]

Never mind. Enjoy it before I put you down.

[townmusician]

[What's so strange about appreciating your buff, tiny boyfriend!!!!!!!!!!]

I'm enjoying it! Trust me.

[He appreciates it a lot.]

It's not hard carrying me, right?

[Not yet.]

[plunges]

Of course not. Haruka, I have been around for a very long time.

[ Hello?? ]

[townmusician]

Wow, so your age means I'm not heavy to you?

[Xiao... you're killing me... me, personally...]
