She hit you, Asch. I've been punched before. I know what it feels like.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...It really doesn't hurt, though... It's not like she broke something or made me go to her room.

[fononfailure]

*hugs him, petting his hair.* There's all kinds of pain. Even if it's not as bad as breaking a bone, it can still hurt.*

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...I'm used to it, though.

[fononfailure]

You shouldn't have to be. If anyone wishes to hurt you, they'll have to go through me first.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

You aren't with me all the time, though.

[fononfailure]

I know. I still hope to get most people to understand that hurting you means they'll have to deal with me.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...I don't want you to hurt them.

[fononfailure]

...then I'll teach them in another way.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...Okay. [snuggles]

[fononfailure]

*smiles and kisses the top of his head.*

[nuzzles against her at that]

[fononfailure]

*gives him a careful squeeze.* You a such a sweet kid, Asch.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...Really?

[fononfailure]

Yep. That's why me and Asch want to protect you and make sure you can be happy.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...I didn't know I was sweet.

[fononfailure]

Yes, you are. Very much so.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...What makes me sweet?

[fononfailure]

Being so considerate, how innocent you are. Things like that.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

...What does innocent mean like that?

[fononfailure]

You don't have many, if any, ill intentions. Even when people hurt you, you don't want them to experience the same.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

Oh...

I guess I am that, then.

[fononfailure]

That's right. Not many people are like that. It's something to be proud of.

[unspokengrief.livejournal.com]

Really?

[fononfailure]

Really. I hope you can stay that way as you grow up.
