īŧ his arms are a tightly drawn circle around sasuke, they flex tighter at the tender sentiment voiced so quietly it almost sits beneath a whisper. but it's the thank-you that breaks him, and his shoulders shake beneath the weight of it. trialities of awareness war — he knows that this is not a place shared lightly, he understands how loss underscores it so fiercely, and he knows, too, that this can only be an expression of love.
what follows is a gradual uncoiling. a shift of his arms from the winding embrace to the press of his palms against sasuke's shoulderblades, and a lift of his head from the crook of his neck to something straighter. he kisses sasuke's hair, his temple, and then takes a bracing breath before straightening fully. he makes no effort to conceal his emotions — this is hard, and he lets it be hard. but he also lets it be hopeful — and sometimes those two things can only go hand in hand. īŧ
