"It's the right heart if it's yours," Hakkai murmurs. "I don't want Gojyo to know a different you."

They're both more important to him than any particular objective.

"It doesn't seem right that he's pickier than you, and yet," Jedao mutters.

Hakkai offers a little chuckle, still holding Jedao's hand; he tells over the knuckles with his thumb in a little reassuring stroke.

"In some ways, yes," he admits. He's had more practice loving than Gojyo, as much as Gojyo's heart is kinder than his own.

"You could probably stand to ask a little, though. He didn't hear you last time."

He passes over his communicator, letting Hakkai see the actual disastrous texts that started the whole evening.

"I did figure that out," Hakkai sighs, skimming through the conversation. "When he really thought we were mocking him."

You're drunk, go home indeed.

"But the point of not spooking him is to leave a little room to think about it differently," he adds, with a faint upwards crook at the corner of his mouth: it's not exactly funny, but it's ironic. "If he doesn't want to think about it the way we meant it."

It wasn't really meant to let him miss the point if he did want to hear it the way they meant it, but at least they've clarified things. Belatedly.
