[baren's intentions, at least, weren't something that chuuya can fault him for, as much as he doesn't like the method; he's quiet for a minute, though, before he speaks again.]
We'll just-- have to keep looking. I'll help now that I know, there has to be someone in this damn city with that kind of ability. I don't-
[he takes a breath there to steady himself, his voice quieter.]
Something made Chuuya want to die the first time. That's the part that was so frustrating. He chose death, for whatever reason. A reason that he can't remember, a reason that Yamato can't explain either. So Baren accepts that this reason might be lost to them.
But.
He leans in to press a kiss to Chuuya's forehead before moving to hold him close.]
Yeah. You're too stubborn for us not to manage, right?
[besides, between the two of them-- he's sure they'll find something. that's the point of being partners, that they don't need to search alone.
for a bit he's content to let baren hold him close, not feeling the need to disrupt the moment by saying anything else; eventually, though, he gives baren a little nudge.]
Bed? Or were you gonna just stay out here all night.
[ . . . is it really that easy? Baren pulls back at the nudge - if just barely, keeping his arms around Chuuya and just moving to rest his forehead on his.]
I was gonna go with wherever you were.
[If he's being honest.
Being apart for that long without a word after a fight might've been a little hard on him too.]
[that's all he wants right now. the rest can come later, they can worry about the search later-- but especially with that answer, for now all chuuya wants is to keep him close. make sure he isn't going anywhere again.
he gives baren another nudge, this time aimed to get him moving, but chuuya doesn't let go of him.]
C'mon. It'll be more comfortable, yeah?
[and okay he'd be lying if he said he didn't also have other intentions but honestly, baren should expect that by now]
[the realistic and decidedly non-romantic part of baren's brain can't help but comment "absence of 48 hours sure does manage to make the heart grow fonder"
- for once he thinks it's okay if he doesn't listen. instead just shaking his head as he goes along with the encouragement, moving to get up from the couch even as they start heading toward the bedroom.]
Is that why....
[but it's just a tease because apparently these are just the things that happen in their relationship]

... I'll believe you this time.
[He'll believe that Chuuya won't leave again.]
We'll figure it out.
