"If someone isn't dead, dying, or on fire, think very carefully if you want to bother me. Also yes, there is a lion in my house, a real, breathing, shitting, man-eating lion. I'm not making it up. Fuck off."

[ He'd thought about it, of course he had, the idea that Kuroo, or Hinata, or Tsukishima could vanish one day without a warning. Of course, he hadn't let himself do so at length to save himself from how nervous it made him but now, with one of the most important people to him being gone, he can't help but wonder if the same might happen to the others sometime soon. And he hates it. It's such a strongly felt sentiment that it even surprises himself. A sound escapes him again, something closer to a laugh though it's almost too quiet to be heard. ] He'd do that a lot. It was nice, I didn't have to worry about him being upset by it, because I didn't talk much. He's a good friend. [ It's... funny in a really sad way, that he's only able to say something like this now that Kuroo isn't around. It makes him think that he should show his appreciation a bit more, the next time he see him. Kenma's small frame slowly relaxes, but something else comes to mind, a little belatedly to his annoyance - usually he isn't too caught up in his own feelings to forget about someone else's, especially if it's someone he cares so much about. ] Sorry. I know talking about this stuff bothers you. [ And even without being able to see Tsukishima at that moment, Kenma has a feeling that the conversation isn't pleasant for the other in any regards. If past experience is anything to go by, after all. The thought of making Tsukishima upset would only worsen his own feelings in any case. ] We don't have to talk about it anymore. I'm okay. [ Thanks to you. ]

I'm glad you have someone looking out for you like him. [and while kenma has him looking out for him as well now, he hasn't known him nearly as long as kuroo, and probably doesn't know him or understand him as well as the other. and that's okay; he's not going to try and hold himself to kuroo's standards, just like how he wouldn't want kenma to try and hold himself to yamaguchi's. they serve different functions in each other's lives, and that's fine.

some of the tension bleeds out of him at kenma's laugh, and it's so soft that he would have missed it if kenma wasn't settled so close to him. he likes the sound of his laugh, and the way it makes it shoulders twitch when he doesn't laugh loud enough to make a sound.]

It's okay. I know that...talking about things after something happens helps, sometimes. [because while he doesn't like talking about the disappearances that seem to continue to color their time in this strange place, he also doesn't want kenma to have to bottle it up and let it fester.]
