[Affection, even fraternal or familial has never been something that came easy to Hitoya. There's too many complicated feelings there that have been long buried and it's served him better regardless, in life and his profession, to maintain the façade of that tepid exterior. But it's not without its cracks and over the past four years they've known each other, Jyushi especially has found a way of working his way into them.
He demands it effortlessly without ever realizing it. It hits a little to close to home, scratches a little to close to the surface of those graves. Hitoya can still count on both hands the number of times he's extended them. Like he does once more because the situation demands it for once. Reaching up, patting Jyushi on the head and smoothing his hair until he's come around again.]
If you want to get cleaned up, they'll have a room for you here. Lets see if we can get a shared one.
[And though he might release Jyushi, the moment passed, he still affirms that he's certainly not letting him go.]
