[ The breath Val draws in is shaky. He wants to say something, but finds himself uncharacteristically lost for words—for all that it is exactly what he expected to hear, it still hits hard. To have someone care so much for him that his last thought really was to worry about him... he hasn't had a lot of people like that, in his life. Not really. He's been okay with that, he knows how to be independent, often it was a choice to leave people behind, but Kazu...
Kazu changed a lot of things. Kazu is the reason he didn't leave even after Kazu himself died. Kazu is someone he cannot ever see himself wanting to run away from.
He still can't find the words, even after a few seconds of silence. Instead he lets actions speak for him, tilting his head to kiss Kazu—not for the first time, and yet in some ways it is. There was no moment to steal a kiss in their bodies, before everything went wrong. ]
