[He did need to hear that. But, he also sort of needed to hear the other part too? That's the part of Galo that he likes so much. That determination. He wouldn't be Galo without it. He feels safe, right here, like Galo's brave promises can actually protect against anything terrible happening.]

. . . I'm sorry too. About what he did to you.

Tch.

[Lio's words hit him straight in his heart. It still knocks him over every time Lio has kindness to spare for him, despite how much of himself Lio has already given away to others. Despite how much pain it clearly causes Lio, taking on the pain of so many people.

But he tries to steel himself and not let himself be too affected. Because - ]

That's nothing. That's the least of what he's done.

[ He’ll burn himself back to ash for the sake of others, but it’s different, with Galo. It doesn’t feel like lighting himself on fire to care about him. Or, if it does, it’s in the comforting way of the Burnish flames, protective and safe. Moving now to wind his arms over Galo’s shoulders, cling a little closer. ]

He used you, like he used me. I’ll make him pay. We will make him pay.

[He doesn't know what to say to that, besides kissing him fiercely.]

[He's talking about killing a man, Galo! Don't reward him! But it is killing a man for you. Which is supposed to be romantic, so, it's fine. Maybe. The absolute pingpong of emotions he's been through today is honestly exhausting, though all of this just has gotten his adrenaline going again - pushing Galo over onto his back to just keeping smooching.]

[He didn't say kill, he said pay! Galo doesn't interpret that as kill! He just interprets that to mean Lio wants to fight for him, and god he needs to feel like someone wants to fight for him. Lio has enough reasons to hate Kray. He didn't have to make Galo a reason, but he is. There's basically nothing more romantic.

He wants to kiss, too, especially when this is no longer Lio horny for him going to jail, and is instead the mutual recognition that they're in this together, no matter what.]
