He hadn't noticed that Usagi had followed after him until he felt the paw on his back. Flinching at the touch, he sobbed into his paws as he buried his face as deep as possible into them before the man could start to speak. Everything he had ever wanted was right in front of him, or next to him in this case, but it didn't outweigh the fear of judgement and hate. His parents had made him believe that it was wrong to favor other men, forcing Kunai to believe it was wrong of him and of Usagi, too. The last thing he wanted was for Usagi to live his life with judgement from being with him.

As if the man had read his mind, the words he spoke seemed to calm the chimera's sobbing as he went on. He wanted to believe what he was saying, to trust that his words were true and that no one would judge him, or even them. How could Usagi be so sure? Certainly there would be whispers about them, and those whispers would get back to his parents and he couldn't be convinced otherwise. He could only hope that Usagi was honest when he finished, but regardless the man found himself starting to shift.

Tears stained his face as he unburied it from his paws and uncurled himself slightly. He couldn't bring himself to even look at the man that had admitted his love to him so many times already, but he could feebly nod as he stared at his paws with tired and swollen, mismatched eyes.
