It... hurts. To not know, and then seeing someone you care deeply about, in pain...
[ it hurts a lot. countless times she has felt it back home, has felt it here. she really did just want to save him from at least most of that aching pain. maybe it would have been better without, but in that moment she could only think of comforting. ] ..I'm sorry.
...There's so much here that we can't control, even though we try our best to. So I can't blame you for making that choice.
[it might have been wrong if seen at some angles, but... it's not as if Meteion elected to take the pain away forever -- and in the spur of the moment like that, seeing Bass so caught up in his pain... if Itsuki had that option, then he might have done the same thing.]
And Bass-chan will definitely hear you out, no matter what. Don't beat yourself up too much until then, okay?
[He'll gently blot her eyes with a hankie if the tears get very big, otherwise he'll hold her close to him,]
...Yeah. [...] Want to plan out what you want to say? You can save it on your phone, like Buzen did.
[he doesn't want to even think about the possibility, much less bring it up, but... if Meteion's gone tomorrow -- wouldn't she want Bass to know? Regardless of what happens?
He thinks Bass would want that too, and Itsuki knows Meteion cares about him.]
..Oh! That's a good idea, Suki-chan! Um, let me try...
[ give her a bit... words are so hard. it's much easier to express with emotions.
"I hope what I did, didn't hurt you more afterwards You're very important to me, I care and love you a lot, Sunlight So it hurt a lot, to see you in pain, that all I could think about was trying to help you That if I could relieve just a bit of that pain, I wanted to I used my gumball on you, so you would feel some comfort.. some calm But I'm afraid it may have made it worse, I'm sorry I'll do better next time, I promise"
he's grinning a little though. it's fine he didn't know how to work the phone at all in the beginning either... also seeing some of the blue back, even if it's not all of it, makes him happy too.]
Sure. Here, I'll write it down right now.
[he'll take out his phone and start typing it, and then show her the draft]
[stop he's gonna blush... even though Meteion said this to him already? He's still blushing,]
I love you too. [hugs...!! which is why he won't say things like 'don't be sad'. for Meteion who knows the value of emotions best, that wouldn't be the right thing for her.
He'd just like it if she got to feel happy too. to balance it all out,]
I'll always be here for you, no matter what happens.
[ admittedly, she does look pretty tired. she doesn't exactly stay up late- she spends a lot of energy in the day, exploring and hanging out with others so.. ]
Yeah, I do... [ she'll move to lay down properly in the futon but, she'll gently take his hand once she's settled. ] Just for a bit.

...You wanted to help him. Out of all of us here... you know how much it hurts -- the sadness, and pain.

..Okay. [ a soft breath. ] I, I'll apologize to him on Saturday, when I see him again. Thank you.. Suki-chan.

You're very important to me, I care and love you a lot, Sunlight

I used my gumball on you, so you would feel some comfort.. some calm
But I'm afraid it may have made it worse, I'm sorry
I'll do better next time, I promise"
...she'll hold her phone out to Itsuki. ]
Is.. something like this okay?
no subject
He'll read it carefully, then ruffle her hair gently,]
...Yeah. That'll reach him.
[her sincerity is so clear here, how could it not?]
How do you feel now? ...A little less weight on your chest?
no subject
..Better.
[ a bit afraid but, there are more blue to her feathers now. so she really does feel like a slight bit of weight off her. ]
Umm.. Can I send it to you? I'm still, not very good with using my phone so, it'll make me feel better if you have it.
[ we don't need to talk about the last fiasco that happened when she tried to do anything other than send and read messages. ]

Now we both have a copy.
no subject
Thanks, Suki-chan. [ she sits up a bit more, pressing a kiss to his forehead as he did for her earlier. ] I love you.
no subject
I love you too. [hugs...!! which is why he won't say things like 'don't be sad'. for Meteion who knows the value of emotions best, that wouldn't be the right thing for her.

no subject
it's okay, once she talks and sees Bass, she'll be reassured. ]
You too, Suki-chan. No matter what, I'm always here.
no subject
[he'll believe in Meteion's words, because he knows she means them. no matter what happens tomorrow, they're both here now.]
Wanna take a little nap before Shuu-kun drags us into a game?
no subject
Yeah, I do... [ she'll move to lay down properly in the futon but, she'll gently take his hand once she's settled. ] Just for a bit.
no subject
[he'll hold her hand, and pat her with the other, lightly and slowly, to help lull her to sleep.]
