[annoyingly, as he nuzzles briefly against takeru's face]
Partner's got my attention, so there's no way I can fall asleep like this.
[ . . . . ]
I mean it, you know. Knowing that you even give a crap about me is more than enough. Since we got here - that was always more than enough for me. Just to know that you weren't going to abandon me. [there's a pause - a complicated, guilty feeling - before he just admits] I... I didn't tell you I died at first, because I was worried it... wouldn't change anything. Or it'd make it easier for me to be left behind. And that - that has nothing to do with you, I thought.... everyone would rather leave me alone than deal with me. That's how it felt, back home. [that he was just left entirely alone to deal with his demons]
... but you told me I'm not allowed to die. [and his heart aches with it - knowing the irony of their current situation, but also the way that it meant so much to him] Everyone who's met me here... they can say that they care about me, but they don't know what I'm like at my worst. At my most pathetic.
Hearing it from you... saved me a little. Like I could still be worth salvaging.
[ ... god, how his heart hurts, like mineo is squeezing it with his own hands. and that's such a dangerous space to be, in someone's grasp.
he wants to kiss him. but instead, he just sighs and snuggles in just a little closer. ]
Even if you were wasting your talent... you still had some. It's why you pissed me off so badly. [ ... ] You're my partner. At the end of the day, there's just you.
Oh yeah? My talent as your errand boy? What do you call me - your pack mule?
[takeru is so mean to him - but there's only a sort of exasperated fondness and amusement coming from mineo. a little bit of self-deprecation, like he knows exactly why takeru talked to him that way.
he holds takeru close to him, so there's no space between them. he'd said this before but.]
.... I'm really happy I'm your partner, Takeru. And everything that comes with it. So you can rely on me as much as you want - I'd really do anything for you, because it's you.
because those words are pretty stupidly romantic, but takeru knows that mineo doesn't mean it romantically in the slightest. so, it's funny? it's so very funny, and he sets the thought aside for now. ]
[ there's a spark of something a little more mischievous, and challenging, but then it gets shoved aside as takeru picks up a pillow and just squashes it against mineo's face. ]
I've been trying to get you to go to sleep, you ass.
