Yukimura pulled away from Kusuriyuri easily. "Kuro," he nearly sobbed, holding his lover tight. "I...I have never..." He trailed off, almost reflexively thinking I've never been so scared, only to choke when he realized Kuronue couldn't hear him. His knees were weak under him and he felt himself falling to the ground, unable to stop himself. It was a mixture of relief and horror to be able to hold Kuronue and not be aware of him the way they had been since they marked each other. "Kuro," he whimpered, burying his face in Kuronue's neck as well.

Kusuriyuri turned a silent glare on Kurama and Youko.
