"No matter what happens, Soubi - I need you to trust me tonight," he mumbled against the man's neck. He needed someone to trust he was making a good decision or no one would. He wasn't sure himself if his grand plan for the evening was very smart, but it was necessary. "And...I need you to be willing to let me get hurt. Don't ask why, but I need to take lead tonight."
Everything would come to naught if Soubi attacked the birds and Ritsuka never got a chance to see their preferences. They had appeared picky the other night, ignoring certain people and honing in on others for no apparent reason. He really hoped Soubi didn't figure things out.
Shifting slightly, Ritsuka settled into a more comfortable position and tucked his head under Soubi's chin. Seimei used to hold him like this when he had nightmares. Lately, he'd been having more and more, but there was no one to take the pain away. He didn't know why, but hearing Soubi say he'd come when Ritsuka called was reassuring. He wanted to be selfish and ridiculous and ask the man to promise to come no matter what, but he knew that wasn't possible. "I'll hold you to that then. So don't you go lying to me and not show up, got it?"
