[temperm]

[Perhaps it was fear mixed with that relief and worry, with how his hyperventilating breaths slowed and his heart began to slow it's thumpthumps against his ribcage.]

Raikou-san I... [His hands clench further into the fabricRaikou's coat.] I'm so sorry...!

[Sorry for betraying his protection and walking into a dangerous situation. Sorry that he had caused him a week's worth of horrible distress. Sorry that he almost invited Raikou into that danger, and sorry that he fell into the darkness that so many people, Raikou included, had pulled him from.]

[raikou314]

[ Raikou squeezes Gau even tighter. One hand rising up to that flippy hair to palm it absentmindedly. It's a clumsy gesture of comfort and show of worry, or tries to be at least... ]

Shut up, [ he rasps out with harsh voice, throaty and broken from emotion. ] Don't ever apologize. I am the one who should apologize, Gau... I'm... I'm sorry. Words can't... [ Words can't describe how sorry he is and there is just nothing to say that would make it better. He fucked up, again. ]

[temperm]

It's not your fault, Raikou-san!

[Despite the order, Gau keeps talking. Remaining silent was the last thing he would do, time and again, when Raikou's stability was at stake. Quite contrary to shutting up, Gau's words flow out at a mile per minute, with no sign of stopping.]

I walked into that situation willingly. Without checking to make sure it was safe, I... I almost invited you to it.

[At just the thought of what could have been, that death grip to Raikou's shirt clenches tighter.]

I almost put you in the same danger!

[He lets out a breath, a shaky, tear-backed one, if only out of necessity.]

The fault lies completely with that man who committed the crime!

[raikou314]

You couldn't know, [ Raikou says softly. His tears have dried up but his breathing is still a bit elaborate. Gau on the other hand seems shaky and from the way his frame trembles Raikou can tell that he's crying. A reason enough to squeeze him again. ]

It was a man? [ Whoever they are, if Raikou ever finds out, he's going to kill them. No questions asked. ]

[temperm]

...Yes, it was a man. He was taller than you, and heavier, with long white hair and facial hair. He-

[Gau swallows hard because the crushing pressure to his throat comes back, and for a moment it's hard to push those shaky breaths out, but he had to, had to for Raikou's sake.]

He hit me over the head, and before I knew it... He was holding me down. I remember seeing his face over me. His hands were around my neck and over my mouth and I don't remember-

[Another sharp breath cuts him off, but underlying his shaking words is an strong current of determination.

Anything for Raikou, and for justice to come to this.]

[raikou314]

[ Raikou isn't privy to Gau's thoughts, never has been, and never will be. He doesn't understand the devotion the boy has for him. Not even now. He could never assume that this was for his benefit. To him, it's just Gau recollecting the hurtful situation that will make Raikou's eyes well up again.

There's anger somewhere there, beneath all this, but for now, he's more focused on Gau, on Gau alive than the person who did this to him. Give him a day and it'll change.

His fingers brush through raven hair, calming and continuous motion that seems to be a half automated. But while he speaks, mouth against Gau's brow, he lays a few gentle kisses on the boy's forehead. ] It's over now. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.

[temperm]

...No, Raikou-san, I have to talk about it.

[It was just as much an affirmation to Raikou as it was to himself. Gau worked better when he had a plan, and now that he had sorted his thoughts out enough in Raikou's safety to come to a conclusion, he would work around this Plan. Just having it made his voice grow stronger.

He felt the kisses, reassuring and kind kisses, against his forehead, but he almost brushed them off as he looked up into Raikou's eyes rather than his shoulders, his growing determination clear in his own gaze.]

If I want justice for me, or for the other victims, I must give as much evidence as I can to help bring that man to punishment for his crimes!
