[It's been a while since Shu's returned to the new home he's made here in Asgard. While things have changed for him he didn't want to stop doing the simple chores that had been assigned to him earlier. Doing the dishes without a right arm was exceptionally difficult for some reason. He wasn't complaining and instead he tried to do the chores to the best of his ability. It was kind of sloppy. No wait, "kind of" is an underestimate. He was struggling so much you could almost call it a waste of time. Even though he looked self efficient staring at his methods would be hard and there had to be an easier way of doing this.

He was grateful the Apocalypse Virus symptoms weren't acting up lately. If they did he would have to tell Gai right away and he would prefer to avoid that.

In any case he seemed to be doing things pretty slowly and he would screw up from time to time. Like for example he'd try to reach out towards the bar of soap only to be reminded that his arm had been severed during Arisa Kuhouin's Coup D'etat. Not that he plans on telling either of them this any time soon, it seems to be getting in the way of things. Inori's probably somewhere near by! Feel free to invade.]

[As he puts the dishes away, she watches him, not wanting to get in his way.]

It's okay... you don't have to apologize. [Seeing that expression on his face, Inori walks over. Now that he's done with the dishes, she faces him and rests her forehead on his left shoulder.]

Thank you. For promising that.

[departing]

[Affection's something he'd been trying to earn back after he'd subjected people to cruel and hard labor. He'd spent time mending his relationships with his former friends and his mother. During everything Inori would always be there for him. This time he needs to be there for her. It's only right that way.

He tried to hold Inori into a hug with the one arm he had. This really wasn't the best hug in the world.

Being so close to Inori again made him filled with joy. Thinking that Gai had her locked away in some place near Odaiba which was now called Ward 24 frightened him. He didn't want to hurt Gai or let Inori die.

Thankfully Inori was here and well. Maybe he had something to thank the Gods for.

He couldn't help but cry on her.]

[viralsong]

[Even with only one arm, Inori feels like this the best hug in the world. She puts her arms around him gently, holding him quietly for a time until she realizes that he's crying.

It's not something that she's unused to. She's seen Shu cry several times before. But now it makes her feel bad, something she'd never really felt before. Pulling back, the girl reaches up, brushing away a tear from his face with a hooked index finger.]

Why are you crying?

[departing]

[Until Inori pointed it out herself, he didn't notice he was crying. Was he always this obvious with his emotions? Oh yes, he was. ]

What?

[He'd brush them away himself but he didn't have the hand for that. At least Inori could wipe away his tears for him.]

I'm afraid of losing you.

[There's no point in putting a tough guy act if he's already started crying.]

[viralsong]

[At that, she tilts her head. A very tiny smile plays across her lips.]

You won't. I will be here for you. Always.

[A lofty promise that she doesn't know the gravity of making. But she makes it anyway.]

[departing]

[Even if she wasn't sure if she could keep the promise or not, it still made Shu happy. With that he allowed himself to rest on Inori's chest. Her warmth was enough for him.

The anxiety he was carrying lifted somewhat. Thanks to her.]
