Trying to be subtle about it, he lets her rest her head on his shoulder, and...sets one of his hands over her glowing fingers.

"No, it's me. It's always been me. You left, and...I don't know. I guess it was like Shiro said; one minute you're here, the next I turn around, and it's like you're all grown up.
And all this time I've been acting like a selfish jackass -- it's true, so don't deny it."

Don't cut him off here, Lior. He's actually voicing some of this stuff as it occurs to him.

"So worried about whether you would have use for me I didn't even see that you had just been home for so long. You'd lost your close friend, and all sorts of other awful things.

...The truth is I was just scared. Scared that since it had been such a long time, that you...you would have left me behind. Not just as a fighter, or someone to protect you, but...me.
Heh. Dumb isn't it? Being worried about a thing like that, and then hurting your feelings all by myself because of it."

He even laughs a little. But it's that bad laugh, the one without any humor in it. The one Ichigo usually hides behind.

She didn't cut him off. She just stayed quiet and listened despite how much she wanted to object to pretty much everything he said. It's almost insulting that he would even think she would leave him, or anyone, behind.

"You're allowed to be selfish," everyone was. Ichigo seemed to act selfish quite a bit, but when it came down to it most of the time he was thinking about other people. Or at least that's what she saw.

She twisted her wrist to hold his hand properly, her head tilting so she could nuzzle her face against his shoulder, "I won't ever leave you behind, Ichigo. You or anyone else. You're all so dear to me, I told you. I was home for hundreds of years, fighting and traveling and everything else and I never once forgot any of you here and I wished that you could have been there fighting beside me. I'll always need you."

"It's not dumb."

[savior_n_black]

"I never wanted to hurt you, Lioriley. And I did, didn't I? You were so confused, and upset, and needed someone and I...I just saw what I hadn't done.
I shouldn't have done that to you. I should have listened to Tavros, and just been happy you were okay."

He promised he wouldn't say 'sorry' anymore, though, so you're getting a lot more emotional depth than most people get Lior. The fact he is speaking of this openly is a miracle in of itself.

"It was dumb to worry so bad about something, then end up pushing you away all by myself. It was dumb, and I shouldn't have made you deal with my crap right after you got back.

You're too good a person, and mean to much to us for that kind of crappy behavior."

[saeptuose]

"It's okay. Really." She had been more worried about him and Shiro than herself anyway so that was nothing new, "I just... you seemed so upset because I was different and there really isn't much I can do about that," but it was somehow her fault and there was no point in telling her otherwise,

She's kind of surprised by this, but again, she doesn't dare mention it lest he clam up and stop talking, "I don't mind dealing with it. In the end I just want to make you and Shiro and everyone happy and so long as you're happy - even if you had decided you didn't want me to stick around - then so am I." it was a sad fact of her life that if they really didn't want her around she would leave so long as they were fine. Her own feelings mattered little.

"But I know you do and it should be obvious by now, but I forgive you, so long as you can forgive me."

Have one of those one-armed hugs, Lior. Yes, it still makes him uncomfortable, but slowly, a little at a time, Lior has worn down his barriers on physical touch. He didn't even blush that hard this time.

"You're smart, and fun, and one of the kindest people I know. I don't have to forgive you for anything, because you didn't do anything wrong.

Me though? Well...I'm glad you do forgive me."

[saeptuose]

She returns the hug with both arms around his middle, caring little for his stupid barriers and the fact that he may or may not be blushing again. It never stopped her before and it sure as hell wasn't going to stop her now.

"I worried you, both when I left and when I went out with Ace. I don't want to worry you anymore, Ichigo. So I'll do my best not to from now on."

She chuckled, leaning back to look him in the eyes, "I'll always forgive you."
