[ It feels selfish that there's a part of him that found that embrace pleasant, that warmth shared between them and the knowledge that he was trusted enough to be depended on. Megumi offers only his patience, waiting for Yuuji to settle and giving him all the time he needs to regain his composure. When they do break apart, the other boy's hands hanging off his hips, Megumi takes this opportunity to steal a glance at the type of face he's making out of curiousity. There's a bit of a soul-wrenching feeling when he sees the tears welled up in Yuuji's eyes, the normally headstrong and positive boy looking so emotionally exhausted yet still trying to keep up his smile. Megumi's never considered himself a very empathetic person (lies), but it hurts ... to see his dear friend hurt. He looks down now, breaking the eye contact to offer his friend more privacy. ]
Sounds good. [ His hands slide off the other boy as he pulls away, and they move on now, staying focused on the goal at hand. As Megumi picks up the backpack and puts his arms through the slings, he can't keep that image out of his mind - the pain he could see in Yuuji's eyes. It wouldn't surprise him at all if the other boy is always feeling this way, given the stacking traumas he's been hit with in his short life, the burden he was saddled with for the unforgivable sin of being a kind person. It makes Megumi think about whether he treats him well enough. Maybe he should cherish him more. Yuuji ate those fingers to save him, after all.
Eyes still fixed on the ground, Megumi turns in the direction of the Enma tower, signaling that he intends to lead the way. There's a pause of consideration, before he extends his hand again, fingers bumping into Yuuji's, curling around his ring and pinky. The start of joined hands, but a bit bashful. ]
