You expected worse? How ugly did you think I was? [He's teasing, of course, based on his small smile. Tsukikage wasn't nervous to begin with but somehow he breathes a sigh of relief as Speedwagon looks at him and then brings him close. He smiles- something awkward and clumsy but genuine- and he absentmindedly runs his thumb over Speedwagon's own scar.]

I am glad I can be open to you in this way. It is rare for me to feel like it is... appropriate to show my face. But this is a safe place and I do not need to be in uniform.

[He smiles and brings Speedwagon into another long, deep kiss.]
