Well... [ Lucky for Inigo, he is still stroking his hair; not a lot, and just now and then, his fingers moving against the strands lightly more to feel them brush along his skin than any other purpose. ]
He was talking about strengthening my ability to stay without the SCA. So if anything does happen to it, [ Like Inigo might've worried, ] at least - maybe I'll be able to stick around longer, or without it.
[ Admittedly... ] We didn't get to talk about it too much, but I'll go back to him about it later - once we're done saving everyone.
[ They've got a big job waiting for them, and he's not at risk right now. It can wait. ]
[ Inigo won't push the other to talk about it with Wei Wuxian now - though Inigo does have a slight worry in the back of his mind about what might happen if the guy disappears before Tidus can ever ask him what he wanted to know.
But then again.. hopefully they should still be able to greet the people who disappeared once more before they're all sent back home to their own worlds, right? Tidus could ask the other then. Inigo has to keep that hope alive in his heart to prevent himself from going crazy with worry about the people who walked off the platform. ]
You better make sure to ask him by then though. [ Not that he thinks Tidus will need the reminder, but.. you know. Just in case he does. ] Or I'll ask him for you.
[ The scariest threat. ]
We're all going to be happy. [ Somehow. Even though it feels impossible in their current situation, still.. ] I'm not going to let go of you before that.
Isn't that the dream - isn't that the outcome they want. No matter the odds, n how constantly hopeless this all feels(, is). Tidus doesn't say anything, but he draws his arms closer about Inigo, soaks in his body warmth, the sensation of him on him, with him.
Whatever the outcome, they'll do it... without regrets. ]
Come on. [ They're words spoken, after a minute or so; indulging in each other, but if they're thinking of the future, then they need to focus on the now, too. Tidus's arms having loosened, but he doesn't make Inigo look at him - even though his own eyes are on the wall opposite. ]
We have everyone to save for now. We get them back, then we can ask Wei Wuxian sooner.
Inigo knows that it's a 'for now' that's still stretched out over a long period, if the time they've taken to get anything done so far shows anything at all.
But right here and now, with Tidus so close to him.. He can think of the 'for now' that's a little more short-term as well.
So he shifts. Moving just enough so he can actually press his lips against Tidus's.
It's nothing too wild, since he knows the other has got to still be tired.. but it works. Just something slight is enough for him in this moment. And perhaps it can soothe Tidus's heart a little as well. ]
How about this for now too, hm? [ He pulls his head back, just to show he's smiling at the other. ] .. don't worry, I know you're too tired for more.
[ To go all the way. ]
But we still have a few days worth of kissing to make up for, you know.
