Please. I think I'd be an utter wreck if I was left alone.

[ he knows it's melodramatic and it's the kind of words Zexion would mock him for, but Genesis felt like it needed to be said. And he knows he can let himself go a bit in Aiichiro's presence. The boy is stronger than he looks, anyway. And his heart is the strongest part of him. ]

Aiichiro, I need you.

I'll come then. And we can decide what to do from there.

[ The words shouldn't feel good. He's worried about Zexion, though perhaps not as much as Genesis is. Even though he realizes that his beloved friend is in pain right now, it's not something that will kill Zexion, and Aiichiro trusts him to pull through it. Still, the concern should temper his happiness at being told that he's needed. And it does, a little. But the fact that something in his heart swells up at the words is undeniable. ]

It's okay, you don't have to be alone, Genesis. Just wait for me. And don't forget that Zexion is strong too, that even if he's having a hard time right now, he can handle it. I trust him to do that. Because trusting someone to keep going, to be okay, is part of love too.

Thank you.

To be honest, I have a lot of faith in Zexion. I know that he is strong. However, I... I hope you don't think ill of me... but the mere fact that he has to be in the hospital scares me like nothing else. I can't trust medical professionals, Aiichiro. The last time I fell ill... the last time I was carted off into an operating room...

[ He can't stop himself from remembering: the way his wing burst out from his back, how blood drenched the operating table, dripped to the floor... the bloody mess he had become. And he could feel his life slipping away due to incredible blood loss. His heart was failing. All he had to cling to life was his willpower. ]

It was not good at all.

I'm sorry, Genesis.

[ He's moving as he speaks, but that's all right. His voice might give it away a little, as well as the sounds of movement around him, but he should still be able to be heard. ]

I still don't know everything about you, so I can't speak to what your experiences have been. And I don't really trust everything about this city, either, and so I understand it's nerve-wracking there too, having them in their hands.

[ He pauses. ]

But if he's suffering, and you and I can't help, someone has to. And you know... I've been in that hospital before. They can do really amazing things, and he's a really upstanding citizen here, right? So they'll want him fixed up.

[ he sighs. He has no other choice, does he?]

Just... don't leave me alone with my thoughts, Aiichiro. My head is a terrible place to be in right now.

I know. Don't worry, I'll be there really soon.

[ Really soon. As in, he turns off the chip and runs flat out, all the way to get the supplies and then to the door of the condo. He's determined to take good care of his lover, and he shows up out of breath, still dressed in the uniform of his own business, and loaded down with things, from an overnight bag with clothes for work to one of his coolers with milk and other treats. ]

Aiichiro...

[Genesis is very happy to see him when he opens the door. He gathers him up in his arms for a tight embrace before letting go and kissing him fondly.]

I'm so happy you've come.

[ Aiichiro lets all the things he's carrying slide to the floor, trusting that he's insulated them well enough that nothing will break. More importantly, both arms go up around Genesis, and don't let go even when his lover does so. He turns his head instead, drops kisses against Genesis's cheek instead of his lips, now. ]

Of course I came. Don't go yet, everything can wait another moment. Let's hold on for just a moment, remind each other we're real.

Remind each other we're real, hm...?

[As far as Genesis knows, Aiichiro had just come to help calm his nerves after Zexion was admitted into the hospital. But whatever made him say such a thoughtful line, Genesis still found himself holding the boy tightly, enjoying the warmth of him and how he fit against his bigger body. Simply holding him was enough to help his nerves settle some.]

[ For all that Aiichiro doesn't like certain assumptions being made about him because he's young and small, he does like larger partners quite a bit, especially when it comes to being held. He closes his eyes and just enjoys the warmth and strength of Genesis for a moment, holding on tight in return. When he feels like he's soaked up enough, and offered enough comfort in return, he finally pulls back and smiles. ]

Mm, that worked for me anyway. Should I go make your cocoa? I have some other treats too, if you want to just relax and I'll bring it to you.

[Genesis nods. He doesn't want to have Aiichiro do all the work, though.]

I'd appreciate that. But if there's anything I can do to help...?
