He was, perhaps, the one person in the city who didn't need him. And one of the only people in Raitou who's thoughts were soothing. Rin found himself, nearly unconsciously, ending up at Chrisantemo Gocce more and more often.
Michele's thoughts are a whirlwind of stories, beautifully crafted and vivid, lovingly thought out and alive. Rin wonders if one day he'll no longer be able to tell the boy's daydreams apart from reality, and thinks that wouldn't be such a bad kind of insanity, if he didn't have so much to do.
He's pulled out of this line of thought by the teenager's voice--calm, and just a bit on the concerned side. Rin's been staring off at the wall for twenty minutes, and his tea has gotten cold. Rin blinks, and smiles, and--
For a moment he sees it, Michael, kneeling down, and the rumbling promise to protect him, and Rin can't tell if he's dreamed it up himself, or if Michele himself dreams of his own persona.
--Laughs it off, saying he was just thinking about something. Michele huffs, and tells him he should pay attention to taking care of himself, before going to get him fresh tea.
If there's an extra muffin on Rin's table when Michele comes back, neither of them mention it.
