No, you fucking won't. He's a confused kid who's already been forced to murder his friend this week, and now his sister is being held hostage.

[Sorry, but he's firm about this. No revenge. But he is holding him tightly, stroking his back.]

[madburnout]

[Fine, then he will silently think: yes, revenge.]

I won't lose you too.

[burningrescue]

Not going anywhere.

[But Lio's reaction has made him consider, for the first time, whether this was the best plan.]

Hey. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

[madburnout]

[Yeah? Is it kinda nice? To have a person that loves you back so deeply they get terrified when you're in danger, Galo? Is it good? Lio is calmer now, but maybe that's not better. He's just pushed it back down, where it might erupt again later. He rips himself out of Galo's grip to go dig through his stash again.]

[burningrescue]

[It is nice, but not like this! Fussing after him, waiting to see what he's getting.]

[madburnout]

[using the ass icon as punishment

Anyway, he's pulling out the green cue ball - pressing it into Galo's hands.]

[burningrescue]

Oh.

[He takes it, but he stares at it, frowning. He knows he's being punished with this.]

This is yours. [He wants Lio to be protected?]

[madburnout]

You will use it!

[yelling! He is absolutely being punished. If you act stupid, your equally stupid boyfriend will give you his protection items.]

[burningrescue]

[Yeah. He. Understands that. He understands he isn't winning this argument, because when it comes to Lio protecting the people he cares about, nothing is going to overpower that.

Still, he stares him down, watching him stubbornly for a good long while before he finally concedes.]

Okay.

[madburnout]

Okay.

[Then he just. Sinks to the floor to sit for a minute. This is fine. He is so tired.]

[burningrescue]

[Oh. He puts the materia away in his dumb roomy pockets, and then sinks to the floor next to him.]

[madburnout]

[He's done being mad, and he's done being afraid, so he would like to just be held now, thank you. He leans his forehead against Galo's shoulder.]

[burningrescue]

[Running his finger down that streak of blue on his cheek. He's an idiot! He really didn't expect this. He didn't expect Lio to take it so much more seriously than he did. Holding him? :( ]

[madburnout]

[He'll be okay after he has some explosive babyfits on some other people too, but that's alright. Twisting his face to bury it more deeply into his shoulder, so maybe he can't see the streak of blue. It doesn't do much good.]
