“If what? If I threw you away like everyone else you’ve known?”
There are entirely too many rotten adults in their world, and Akechi’s life has been filled with more than most. It’s sickening to think about, and it catches an angry fire in Ren’s heart, in the part where his justice lives.
“When have you ever known me to do what’s simple?” Ren shakes his head, sadly. “Letting you go was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But I did it. Because I care about you, and because it was what you wanted.”
Those waves of fear Akechi projects are difficult to endure, but Ren is steadfast in his resolve to not be pushed away by fear anymore. He reaches out to counter the fear with every invisible tendril of love and compassion and care his heart can hold, and he gently reaches a hand out to test if he’ll be allowed to hold the other boy’s shoulder.
“I don’t know why I feel what I do - I don’t know why I care about you so much, I just know that I do. I like you, and I don’t want to hurt you, and I don’t want you to be hurt any more when you don’t have to. I know I can’t fix the past - I can’t change the entire world for you, but I can build a better world just for us, with you, if you’ll only let me.”
