[Again, Ryou purrs lowly, pressing up into the touch. This is nice. It's perfect. He feels relaxed for the first time in a while, and it's enough to make him laugh breathlessly.]
No. Never. H-heh...hahaha...
[The laughter tapers into a weak sob, but...he's still smiling. He's happy, but he also wants to cry. Ryou wonders why he's like this, why any person could cry when they're happy.]
I'm glad...to be here with you and Tybolt. To be here with the ones I love. This is...it's my home, and you're my heart, and this is...something I haven't been able to enjoy for so long.
[Ryou knows it's only a matter of time before the other shoe drops. They're very close to the start of the month, when trouble usually starts brewing. But right now, after everything, it's enough that he has this simplicity, without the hum of negativity which constantly lives in the back of his mind lately--it's still there, but quieted, not stoked by the true monster he is.]
