Honey, these arms that once held you are ready to fight
"You have a few days to lose more weight." It's a sad sort of humor and they both know it, but it's better than ruminating over their swiftly impending goodbyes. She lingers over the kiss he places to her palm, the familiar weight of his hands on her spine, soaking in the physical affection that soothes the anger and frustration they'd cultivated.
"Quiet for Caido at least," she murmurs back, a weak tilt of her lips allowing amusement. "You're going to owe me hundreds of date nights, it will be glorious." Their collective speaking of peace into existence may be a stretch, but there's no harm in giving it a good old fashioned try. What better time to start than now? Reluctant as she is to part from him now, she intertwines their fingers and obligingly opens the door back into the house. "I'll make you something, so you don't burn the house down." To feel useful if nothing else.
She takes him down the stairs, sitting him at the counter without allowing him to make any sort of denials, pressing a kiss to his temple now that he is of equal height before turning into the kitchen. "Any requests?" He deserves pampering after sharing with her what he has, and Hotaru regrets that they'd had to fight at all.
