Kuronue let his head rest back on Yukimura's shoulder and sighed, stared up at the ceiling. "I'm jealous," he said, smiling a little. "You felt it more than once before you met me. I want to be your whole world so bad. Sometimes I honestly do entertain the thought of never letting you leave my sight, of keeping you away from others..."

Kuronue frowned, and realised he was vocalising the thoughts he hadn't wanted to, purely because he was seeing Kusuriyuri with the intention of calming those thoughts, banishing them, making then healthy. "Sorry, forget that," he said, pulling away from Yukimura.
