baji felt his eyes begin to sting—god, he couldn’t believe he was going to fucking lose it in front of you. he can feel you next to him, sitting down on his couch. your hands reach out for his, but baji finds himself frozen in fear. his mind’s been working against him recently—vivid thoughts of the downfall of his friends and toman invading him like a thick, deadly smoke. his jaw clenches at the thought of kisaki tetta, that fucker.
suddenly, the warmth of your palm is felt against baji’s cheek, and he finally turns to look at you. you look worried; your eyes are blown wide in concern, your bottom lip is caught under your teeth as you chewed on it slightly. but you’re so close, baji can feel himself heating up under your gaze.
“keisuke?” you voice out quietly, troubled as to how he hasn’t uttered a single word yet. “are you okay?”
baji realizes he’s been silent, so he nod—hesitantly. he can tell immediately that that wasn’t enough to convince you, if the sudden look of determination in your eyes couldn’t reason that well enough. you sigh, knowing that he’s becoming increasingly stressed these days, although he wouldn’t tell you why. always claimed it was “for your safety.”
you shift closer to him, holding him tighter against you. “keisuke, you don’t have to talk about it, just let me make the pain go away.” you peer up to him, holding his face closer to your’s. “let me make you feel better.”
and baji confides in your words, he tells himself that with you, everything will be okay. so, leaning closer into your touch, baji nods. he nods confidently, because with you—his mind was at peace.
