Oh yes, how silly of him to think Shun would expect to have been forgotten, to have already known all of this as he looked down at them from beside Buddha, that he wouldn't have to explain a thing. But the fact of the matter was that in this very moment he felt like he had been shot back into one of his dreams, or maybe he was hallucinating his friend. Why would Shun be here of all places? How did they even arrive, none of it made sense, and the very purpose of their being brought here still just seemed so utterly preposterous.
His mind felt like it was over loading, this would be very bad if he still had his power, but perhaps even that had added to just the overall effect of the moment. He didn't even have that familiarity to turn too any longer, that weight that constantly reminded him of the rules and regulations and precautions placed on them when they reached puberty.
Everything caught him off guard and left him at a standstill. Even though he knew Shun was confused and hurt, he couldn't say anything or do anything other than stare at him. And as the bad memories started to come back along with the good well, for a moment he was hesitant on what he should do and what rights he held with the other. Even if they weren't dating any longer surely he still considered him a friend, but wasn't the entire purpose to keep him away, so Shun could be alone?
Was everything he said a lie or a hidden truth masked by a darker reasoning?
Gently his hands on the black haired boy loosen as his mind becomes drowned in doubt. That was, until Shun inadvertently pulled him in as he returns the embrace. His eyes widen for a moment, he hadn't expected that, and then...slowly he began to ease into a sort of calm. Their where a great many things he didn't agree with in this new system humanity followed. But this, this comfort by touch, time and time again it proved the most effective method in comforting his raging heart and that whirlwind of thought that plagued him whenever something unexpected hit.
He closes his eyes before his hands move from their position on his arms and returns the motion, pulling Shun in against him and burying his face into his neck. For a while he just stays like that, soaking up the comfort that this second body offered until he felt his heart rate go down and his storm of a mind ease into a sprinkle. Their where still certainly dark clouds that stuck around, but nothing the light haired young boy couldn't look past. All he needed to know right now was that Shun was hurting, and even if you discounted their past relationship, Shun was still his friend, and he would never let his friends suffer.
....Satoru only wished that such a thing was easy to avoid, but it seemed like no matter how hard he tried, he would always lose the battle and more and more of his friends would end up despaired and.....
Wine colored eyes open as he moves away from Shun enough to speak clearly. "I'm Sorry, I couldn't forget you." Even for the sake of the entire village, he couldn't stop thinking about him, about X. "So I just kept searching." He wanted to remember him, even if the attempt drove him mad, or worse. He glances towards the ground before moving away a bit more and then turning his eyes to meet Shun’s gaze.
And with tear stained cheeks and reddened eyes he softly smiles, a real one to counter that fake the other tried to pull earlier.
"I can't leave you alone, so please stop running."
No matter how much you hurt me, I will never let you go again. Was what he was thinking, because it was truly unbearable to know that in his world he would never again see Shun, so instead he'll cling onto this chance for dear life. He will be selfish, and rude, and forceful, but perhaps this time he could dream of him without regret.
Sorry about the wait, had to get a new license, thanks for that :V
