[It’s kind of weird, leaving the sakura behind. He’s only ever known this place (only remembers one day at that, so). Walking away from it makes him feel like he’s wandering into the unknown. It doesn’t help that the sky’s getting darker and the shadows are getting longer. Does this place have street lights? How far apart are all the god’s residences? Questions he’s going to try and answer as they walk.
Sousuke glances to the side when Makoto smiles at him. … You’re something else. That’s all he can think at the moment when faced with the other boy’s kindness. It’s unfortunate he had to bring all that up to him, make Makoto see the darker side of his new position. But the comment earns an arch of his brow and then a small scowl at the insinuation. Sousuke averts his gaze with a soft huff under his breath.]
I’m not pairing up with someone.
[Someone stubborn, somewhat defensive. He knows just as well as Makoto he’s recently said shinki might get in trouble without being paired with a gud. But he’s not going to admit that submission to himself.]
You’re the one that any shinki’ll be lucky to be with.
