[He presses his forehead against Shouto's and smiles at the nuzzle. They've come a long way from where they began, haven't they? There was a lot of awkwardness in the first few months of dating, but they've finally settled into something comfortable between the two of them.
He smiles a bit, reassuring and soft, kissing the tip of his nose just because he can. He wants to kiss away that scar, he knows how much it weighs on him. And maybe he doesn't know exactly, but it's enough. This is a heavy subject to breech.]
[ Unable to help it, he has to squeeze his eyes shut when he presses their foreheads together. He has a lot of questions, in his mind, about what will happen when he kisses the scar. Obviously it'll fade away - there's no doubt of that, with the evidence stark with each kiss they leave on one anothers' scars - but his vision is a little bad in that eye. Will that get fixed?
Shouto knows that the issues won't be. Even years later, he's still sorting through them.
But he huffs a small laugh at the kiss to his nose, brief as it is, and scrunches his face before relaxing again. (The movement pulls on the skin of his scar, anyways.) ]
[Emotional scars are much harder to heal over. Physical scars seem a lot simpler in retrospect. A kiss and they disappear like they were never there to begin with. But there's no way to kiss away an emotion.
He'll focus on what he can do, for now.
Gently, he kisses Shouto's scar, watching it fade away.]
I love you. [I want to do as much for you as I can.]
i just have to bask in this sweetness
