Hey hey... Even if they did, I'm not going anywhere.
[ maybe it's foolish or risky to make such claims now, when there's likely no need for it until well into the future but — he doesn't like the way reki's holding on to him so tight right now, knowing where it's coming from. ]
I'm the bad son, remember? That means I get to not listen to their shit.
[ honestly, what's one more anxiety added to the trove? it's barely even noticeable until qi fang speaks up, which makes reki smile no matter how much he's not in the mood for it. ]
Oh yeah. You're the worst of the worst.
[ what worries him is that qi fang is good, and unlike him, this stuff seems to matter. he sinks his fingers into qi fang's hair with a sigh. ]
It's a shitty thing to think about, but it won't be as shitty if we deal with it together, right?
[ the as long as we're still together then left unspoken, of course. ]
[ you never know, reki... sometimes qi fang feels like he's one more stepford smile away from chopping up some bodies and tossing them into the basement... but who knows how much of that is just your regular ol' teenage angst. ]
Nah. It'll be fine. We'll weather it out together, we always do.
[ haven't even been together for a year and here he is acting like they're decades into this thing. but none of that stops him from speaking with utmost confidence. they've got this for sure. they have to. ]
[ trust reki's already worried about that too and come up with a contingency for how they'll dispose of the evidence. ride or die, there's no in between here. ]
That's all that matters, then. Not just with this, like...
[ not to keep harping on this, but he is fresh off a whole day of not knowing what kind of cozy hell his better half's been going through all alone. ]
[ at least, he knows that now. more and more he's coming to regret reverting back to his old ways, trying to wade through this alone. he palms the side of reki's face, thumb sweeping across a cheek like he's holding something precious — and he is. reki is his just like he is reki's. this ride or die thing... it's pretty awesome. ]
I've got yours too, okay? Whatever happens, we'll get through it together.
