[ It feels weirdly nice to hear Tidus say that.

After all, it always feels like the other is so busy pushing everyone else to their happiest end possible that it's like Tidus always leaves himself out of that. As if he had already given up on himself - though that has slowly been changing, a fact that's solidified in the words the other is saying right now. ]


You'll be able to.

[ Inigo doesn't know how, but it doesn't matter. He'll stick around until they find a way, just like how Tidus will stick around until they find something that works out for Inigo as well. They'll safeguard each other until they find ways.

So he allows himself to be pulled down, shifting to settle in against the other. ]


We won't stop until then. Until we've got the happy lives we deserve. [ It's hard for him to say that too, since Inigo has always done the same thing as well. Focusing so hard on everyone else that he hardly ever stopped to think of himself.

But fair is fair. ]


Until we've saved everyone.

[ The people on the train whose worlds are in tatters because of the train. The people who need a safe solution because their world was in danger in the first place. The people who left the train. Everyone, everyone, everyone.

He kind of wants to look at Tidus, but it's hard in their current positions, and he doesn't want to shift around and change positions much yet from where he's lying on top of the other now. So instead it shows more through his tone than through his expression that the next matter he speaks on is a tad more fragile, even though he lets out a breath of a laugh. ]


You know, when I was thrown out of the train like that.. I thought of you right away. I was so worried the train might have thrown you out too, and that you would've--

[ Disappeared.

How come that always remains so hard to say? Inigo manages to keep himself from choking up as he says it, but it's still hard. ]


.. you know. [ They both know. ] I looked all over, just in case I could find some proof of it having happened. I really was worried..
