[ It's not strange, exactly, to feel so intimately close to Tsurumaru, but it doesn't escape Aki's notice that they're still in public, and they'd usually carry themselves with a little more decorum than this. He's not protesting it, but perhaps it's a sign of just how afraid they had been for one another that coming together like this, without hesitation, is striking him so perfectly in the heart.
Fingers stroke down Tsurumaru's back, holding him gently, tenderly, with all the warmth he has, before he leans back. There'll be time for more later, and Aki has a gift to share with him, but there are priorities to focus on; they have people they care about to check in with, and his heart is pulling him in more than one direction right now.
Hesitating, only for a moment, Aki leans to kiss his partner's forehead, unconcerned about what might be there. ]
I survived. [ The best outcome, in his job.
Tsuru's smile soothes him. ]
I'll have a bath when we get back and settled. You could come and join me.
[ Not just for the bath, but for the comfort and intimacy after. ]
