[ Is it really that easy to see through him? Raikou's chin drops, pink hair fanning over his eyes as he snorts softly, a small smile curving over his lips.
Gau knows him better than probably anyone. It's a little disconcerting, being this openly readable for someone, anyone, really.
So, it's not just the girl in glasses, but his mother and the fact that this, that Gau's presence in the world of Nabari is completely on Raikou's head, his responsibility, his actions that made it possible and keep doing so even now. He does feel guilty. And she wouldn't even have to say anything to him to feel like this.
Eventually he lifts his face, looking at Gau through his fringe.
It is selfish. This need of his...
Now is the time he should say something, most definitely. Gau standing there, close, anxious for a response. But nothing comes out. Just simply that enigmatic smile that seems softer now than usually.
Seconds tick past and eventually Raikou draws in a breath, holds it, and then reaches for Gau, brushing a few curly strands of hair behind the boy's ear. ]

And I will never use you. I promise that.
