@bondedfates​ asked: 💖 kaede to maki...... / hold my muse’s hand

     “..Huh?”

     The sudden touch to her hand nearly has her drawing it back in shock, only for the pianist to be faster to hold it. She...doesn’t get this. Why is Akamatsu doing this? She’s...she’s not someone that deserves something like this. Maki isn’t as good of a person as the other would like to think. She’s an assassin, she’s killed people and even if she had her reasons for being one it...doesn’t make it any better.

     So then why? Maki expected to be pushed away, feared, hated for the person that she is and yet...she’s not. For this to be happening is...something she didn’t expect. But then again, it’s Akamatsu of all people. The pianist was so optimistic, so friendly and she believed in everyone. So maybe it’s not too far out of left field for this to be happening.

     Hesitantly, her hand shifts ever so slightly enough to hold hers more properly. It’s...warm, she has to note. Warm and soft but also comforting...she really never realized how this could feel. She doesn’t hate this feeling but it’s...not something she’s used to. But still, she’s glad for this.

     “...Thanks. For...not pushing me away. I don’t get why you’re doing this but you’ve always been stubborn, haven’t you?” Always stubborn, always believing. Like a certain idiot. “...Don’t change from that, okay? And...do you mind if we stay like this for just a little bit longer?” It’s selfish but...she doesn’t want this warm feeling to disappear so soon.

“No problem.”  He quite likes working with this one, he’s decided. She’s peppy but perfectly capable--she’s fun. “Watching backs is what I do. Speaking of--” Another arrow arcs in and is sliced neatly off its course by Durindana to land harmlessly in the grass some feet to their right. He fairly confident where the shooter is, but won’t throw the lance just yet. “--Let’s keep pressing forward. We’ll get bogged down if we worry too much about clearing out every enemy here.”
