I- [It's almost reflexive, the I'm okay, that rests on his tongue, the instinctual urge to reassure and not cause worry. But Akira doesn't lie to Goro, something that feels both correct and wrong in the strange twilight the dream has casted over his heart. He says the truth, instead.] I had a nightmare. Something... bad happened to you in it, but I can't remember what.
[It feels fragile, almost childish to utter the words in the still of the night. He's always affectionate with Goro, leaning into him when he can sneak it in public and lacing their fingers together when they're alone, but he's never clingy like this. He's never let neediness bleed into his sentimentality; it's something neither of them would probably like. So why now, just because of a bad dream...?
Maybe it's just from not having them often. But that doesn't quite feel right, either.]
I'm sorry for waking you up for something like this... [He runs a hand through his hair, knowing he doesn't have to be careful of worrying Goro with his body language. This is the most drastic things have gotten, but he has noticed he's felt a little off lately. Something like intrusive thoughts, except sometimes he'd call of it more of a feeling than a proper thought.... Akira's ignored it almost entirely, brushing it off as just the stress of the approaching finals in a few weeks. Now, though...] I don't know what's gotten into me.
no worries at all, I'm sorry I ended up slow on my end too! ;;
