...I...

...I never got to tell him.

...Kurosaki said not getting rid of it was worse, because... Because I didn't tell you. ...And now it's too late...

[There is silence. And he feels Tsukikage's hand between his antlers, the boy driven to launch himself for a hug once again.] I...

I'm sorry, Tsukikage..! I'm really...more than anything..! I'm sorry...

[He supposed Kurosaki was right, but he lets Reira hug him and he hugs back, leaning into the boy's embrace. He strokes his head, speaking softly still.]

It's alright, Reira-dono. I know you are... I forgive you.

[And though hurt, he'd be sure Kurt would as well.]

[He does not say anything-not anymore. For a while there is simply silent trembling against the arachne's form, breathless tears staining his clothes. Eventually though, he stops moving altogether-eyes closed, body limp...

Sleep, as it seems, has claimed him at last, and he slumps against the other's form.]

[Tsukikage smiles once the boy is finally asleep and he holds him close. After a moment, he picks Reira up, slowly and carefully walking towards the boy's bedroom and tucking him in. Tomorrow would be the start of a new day... he'd have to prepare for it one way or another.]

I promise... I'll protect you for as long as I can. [He murmurs, pulling the blanket up, and putting both teddies securely in Reira's arms.]
