friend circle

Of course Usagi just stood there like some idiot as his love interest, clearly conflicted by his words, ran off. Ran. Off. The flop-eared hohei really hadn’t anticipated this in his plac for reconciliation, but he had pulled the ‘I love you’ card and had to play it the best he could. Deep inside, Usagi realized Kunai was still haunted by his parents brutal comments and treatment. They hated him. They despised him. The bastards exiled him, stripped him of his name! He couldn’t help but feel a prickle of his temper beneath his skin thinking of Kunai’s horrible parents. They had inflicted serious damage upon their son, and gods knew how long it would take to unwind that damage. But he couldn’t say anything, even as his love began to shake in his seat and then ran away, burying himself into the sand ahead and his shoulders shaking as he sobbed.

Usagi didn’t know what to do..truthfully. So, as the awkward man he was, he instinctively turned to Kuroo with a ‘help me’ expression on his face. Nevermind that his brother might still be a bit fussed about all this. But he knew if he went along - albeit reluctantly - on one of his fishing trips, all wouldl be mended. He almost began to open his mouth, gaze flicking back and forth from Kuroo to Kunai, that his brother spoke. With an added shoulder bump, too. He straightened up, brow quirked and face flushed. He had to try and comfort him somehow. "Oh, r-right." He glanced at his brother, as if hoping this would turn out alright, before loping towards Kunai.

Reaching the sobbing chimera, Usagi gingerly reach out a forepaw, patting it gently on the man’s back. His brow furrowed as he searched for the words to say - geez, what did you say to help someone? Damn, he literally just told the guy he loved him and now he couldn’t even find the words to say he was safe here. So he said just whatever came to mind without sounding too cliché.

"Kunai..nobody will ever judge you here. I love you and I’ll..I’ll shout it on the tops of the bamboo maze if I must. Your parents were awful to you, I know..and it’s not your fault. You can be who you are here, they can’t find you and they can’t hurt you. And even if they did manage to find this land, I’d chase them off with all of my strength. You are loved here, by me and the pack. So..please stay." He ended his words, hoping he could encourage Kunai to lift his face from his curled up form. He wanted to see the face he had fallen in love with..those mismatched eyes with so much light and happiness to bring. He just wanted him to know he’d protect and love him with all his heart.
