All your hands?

[Had Minato seen this side of him before? He doesn't remember. Not like this, anyway. Nonetheless, he wasn't here to question what Ryoji did on his free time.

He rested his headphones on top of the laptop and stood from the chair, swiftly walking over to Ryoji and quickly wrapping his arms about the taller teen.]

[thanatoast]

Ahh...my phantom limbs? They aren't really for that normally but...it helps a lot.

[Oh! He hadn't been expecting a hug.]

You don't have to, you know. I already said it was okay.

[afoolshope]

I want to.

[And just because Ryoji said it was okay doesn't make it okay.]

I missed you.

[thanatoast]

[...]

...I really don't understand human emotions.

[The hug is nice it's just giving him more confusing emotions.]

No wonder so many wanted to join Nyx so easily...

[He can sort of understand that now?]

[afoolshope]

[He gets a soft smack in the back for that.]

Don't joke about that.

[thanatoast]

[Hey! Ow! That's not fair, you're the only one who can really harm him apart from Minako...]

I'm not! It's amazing how despite it all, you were able to defy so many people's emotional want to become one with her. Despite how... difficult emotions can be.

[Do you see what he means now?]

[afoolshope]

[Don’t be such a baby, he didn’t hit that hard.]

You know as well as I do that it wasn’t that simple. But once I had my Answer, it didn’t matter what humanity wanted. I wasn’t going to let it happen.

[He pulled back from the hug, looking up at Ryoji.]

I’d do it again, too.

[thanatoast]

[Humain-like pain is weird, okay.]

I know. [His smile is sad.] But understanding it a little more makes me appreciate so much more what you did.

[afoolshope]

You make it sound like you didn't before.

[It's a tease, complete with Minato reaching up to pull Ryoji's cheeks.]
