You're not alone. For once, finally, he feels like he can believe that. That he can trust Shuichi when he says that. He can't help the little smile that tugs at his lips, turning his cup around in his hand as he lets those words sink in.]
...okay.
["Okay", because he knows he can safely accept this help. No plans will be ruined, no cruel image of himself needs to be held up anymore, no one will live or die over mistakenly believing in someone...it's okay to trust him, this time. To really, fully trust him.
That little smile quickly twists into a broad, happy grin and he stretches his hand out to the other boy. Reaching over the table with it open, waiting for Shuichi to take it.]
I'll trust you, so you better promise to do your best to take care of me!
