[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?
IDK BUT W6 BAYBEE
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. ]

[He Is Confusion.]

[ 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.
no subject
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?
no subject
[ He laughs quietly, and he can't help but smile to himself. ]
Fair enough. Thank you, then, for staying with me.
no subject
[He squeezes his hand, and then leans down to press a kiss to his cheek.]
You're... really feeling better, though?
no subject
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.
no subject
...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.
no subject
I am indebted to you.
[ He leans in for a kiss. They deserve it, after everything. ]
no subject
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.]
no subject
[ He gives Haruka a small, tired smile. It's not sad, at least.
It's an improvement. ]
no subject
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.]
no subject
I know. Be as demanding as you'd like.
[ He'll play along. It's nice. ]
no subject
Ehhh, you're going to spoil me if you have an attitude like that.
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
[He pulls Xiao in for another kiss.]
I'm not sure you can keep up with all of my demands, old man.
no subject
Instead, he just rolls his eyes. ]
List them. I have no doubt that I'll be able to keep up with them.
no subject
[He makes grabby hands at Xiao.]
Pick me up?
no subject
He looks down at him. ]
...Why am I doing this, again?
no subject
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.]
no subject
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.
no subject
I'm enjoying it! Trust me.
[He appreciates it a lot.]
It's not hard carrying me, right?
[Not yet.]
no subject
[ Hello?? ]
no subject
[Xiao... you're killing me... me, personally...]
no subject
[ Bruh. ]
I don't understand the request.
