[Despite not feeling like hand holding is really that intimate, the knowledge of Nobunaga's feelings makes the kisses feel all that more intimate and there's a brief moment where he considers ignoring himself and letting Nobunaga have his way with him. But they don't. It's probably more of a way to avoid talking about these feelings and that's not going to work. They can't replace alcohol with sex in that way.]
It's not going to feel okay. For me. I know I'm going to be stressed and upset and overthinking it until I don't. Then again, I might always be overthinking it. But I'm grateful to have you. You make it feel less daunting.
[Nobunaga won't let them~! Though for once he's not really reading Klaus' mind.]
I will overrule that foolish voice in your head even so. I will hold you to a higher standard than I have been, only because this pain is too great for the both of us. So soak it in now so that we need not do it again. [Gently rests his head on Klaus' chest, listening to their heartbeat.] Thisis what we both want, so we will make it so. Isn't that what being partners means?
[Klaus looks up at the ceiling for a moment. Just letting his mind drift a little.] It’s just trying to like…I dunno. Be my mind, I guess? But blah. I’m sorry it sucks for you, too. I guess I’m kind of gross and annoying like this. And like…I don’t do much. [This is most assuredly not what Nobunaga meant.]
Yeah. I guess so. Ugh. I just hate feeling like a weird slug creature. So slimy and endangered by salt.
You aren't. You are gorgeous and shining like a glowing gorgeous star. I look forward to your transformation, though you feel like a pupae, I know you will be a gorgeous poisonous butterfly, and I will stab anyone who isn't worthy enough of your attention to see how you could be right now. [Kisses them gently all over!]
[Klaus feels warm and light. It's the most ridiculous thing how Nobunaga could say something and change the way he felt about himself in a moment.] I love you.
