[14dayswithyou]

Oh hang on. Krow to Redacted.

‘ thank you for caring like nobody else ever has. ’

Soft spot prompts | No longer accepting !!

"...'Could say the same about you."

Black nails trace over the inked skin of Krow's back as a soft expression pulls at his pierced features. He's thankful that they can't see his face right now, though [REDACTED] couldn't help but want to see their own expression as well. So instead, he lets his fingers ghost along the fallen feathers near their side; down, down, down until he reaches the lone egg.

His lip tightens at that.

Unwanted memories start to resurface, and the sudden urge to crack an ill-timed joke — perhaps something about nuggets? — becomes apparent. Anything to change the mood and draw less attention to the uneasy feeling that was ebbing and flowing from inside him.

And so, he thinks about Krow instead. About how he's always been there for the dark-haired hacker — and for being the only one to help dissuade [REDACTED] from committing to his made-up persona, and to convince him to go back to his real, true self instead.

The true side of him that hasn't been seen since they were both children on a playground... And the true side of him that his own parents tried to hide away.

[REDACTED]'s fingers unconsciously chart a path towards Krow's hand this time, intent on searching for the gold band he gave him when they were younger and much more innocent. And when he finds it, he pulls the artist's hands towards his mouth to press a soft, chaste kiss against his knuckles.

"You'll always mean something t'me." A kiss against his shoulder blade this time, "Always gonna be with you."

And finally, a kiss on the lips to seal his promise.
