"Anyway, you're right, Ziggy. You and I are... are both whole persons. And I'm just-- so glad, glad I can be with you and it's not hurting you nor putting you in danger, now. I... I'm happy."
He's startled a bit himself.
Saying he's happy. Outloud. That's rare for him. But it's true right now despite everything and because of everything.
And then, the necklace. Hiroki gingerly takes it while listening to Ziggy's explanation.
That's amazing.
He's not sure what to say, so he just, after listening to Ziggy's explanation, puts the necklace on.
He adores everything that's gone into it. Ziggy... can surely feel that.
"You've given it a lot thought," he finally says, still not knowing what to say, especially after the emotional whirlwind of emotions that was this wonderful concert. "You always do. I cherish you so much... I'm glad-"
He trails off. He's so happy, he's not sure he can find words to express it.
Apparently one can be slightly anxious and utterly completely happy at the same time. It's true. He caresses Ziggy's cheek now, because it's something he's thought of doing, but rarely has really done, before.
"I'm glad you love me," he finally says. "the way you do. It's... awesome, Ziggy! Thank you."
He's glowing.
And yes, that's the gist of what he's feeling. Whew, he's managed to finally say it. Thanks to Ziggy's songs, too. But it's all doubly true.
"I'll try and make sure I never hurt you the way I once did. That's why I'm telling you about things, even things I'm not yet sure of. I'll make sure I never hurt you - if I can. That's my promise to you, Ziggy. I know it's not much, but that's what I can manage, for now. I'll get better."
2/2 ok now it's ready
