[ luckily for leo, hina doesn't really care about being called cute all that much. it feels a little off, but there's no pouting or complaining, especially with the hug. it takes a minute for him to respond, hands hovering in the air, awkwardly, but.
his small hands come up to gently curl around his arm, and he tilts his head into his, that smile brightening just a tiny, tiny bit. home. his eyes shut, and he stays there for a moment, though...
it's still clouded with a little anxiety, gnawing at his gut. he wants to fix this, he doesn't want to live like this forever... it feels wrong, in a million ways he can't really describe. hina stays close like that for a moment, absorbing the warmth that come from these two beings that apparently are his 'home', then traces the number 'three' into leo's forearm. he still needs to find three more people to fix this... ]
[... mmm. he doesn't want nazuna to go alone, and it might be easier for him if someone he knew and could trust was around, so he takes nazuna's hand and laces their fingers together, humming in acknowledgement.]
I know, I know, I got it. You want this done as soon as possible, right? Are you gonna be okay finding them on your own? Do you want me to come with you? Tsuchin-tan can't come with us, I think, but I can spare time when I'm not at the parlor.
[because he wants to protect nazuna and take care of him as much as nazuna's taken care of him before, curled around him to keep him safe and warm.]
[ hina nods, looking down at their hands. it's taken away a little bit of his words, but he doesn't mind too much, giving a soft squeeze to his hand. he might be okay finding people, but singing? that's a little different.
so, he touches his own mouth, and then touches leo's, small fingertips soft against his lower lip. hina then hums, a single, musical note. ] ♫
[leo's momentarily distracted by the fingertips alight on his lips, gentle and slight, and while he doesn't get the message exactly he can sort of gather the gist. maybe.]
I'll be with you. [it's a promise. squeezing his hand again, gentle.] Until your memories are back, I won't leave your side. You--
[he fumbles a bit, looking away, embarrassed.]
You've... You've done a lot for me. I'm just returning that, okay? Okay.
[ it's...really reassuring, actually. hina pulls his hand away and let it settle again, dropping it on top of leo's other one where they're curled together. his smile's widened, now, and he nods, once, twice, as if reassuring him.
in fact--
(and even though it's hard, even though his tongue doesn't want to work, he's got to try.) ]
L-Le... th...ank... [ nothing really comes out besides that, though, and he stops where he's started, cheeks turning pink, shutting his mouth again. embarrassed at himself, his failure to talk-it's the reason why he wants to be nazuna again. this life is pathetic, isn't it? but... having someone by his side? it feels like having leo leading the song will make things much easier. he feels safe. like he said. it feels like home. ]
[mmmmmmmmmmmmm so warm. it drops pleasantly into his stomach and branches out, tingling through the nerves just below his skin. leo grins widely, brightly, and ruffles nazuna's hair. he won't tease about it, just try and put his pride in his touches.]
