wondering if I really tried everything I could (OPEN)

[conceded]

WHO: Kondou Isami, possibly you!
WHAT: A lost Shinsengumi commander in a Resistance Army camp
WHERE: Resistance Army camp
WARNING(S): Probably just bucketloads of angst.

[The first confusing thing that Kondou had noticed was that, well- he had woken up at all. Not to mention that on top of it, he had no idea where he was. Whether those that resided in the camp were friend or foe was something that he needed to find out before going any further. The tent he’d woken up in didn’t seem to be guarded, so he cautiously made his way outside to try and see if he could figure out what was going on.

… Which just meant that there was now a very confused man standing in the middle of camp. At the first sight of someone who he could approach for questions, Kondou made his way over.]

Ahh, I’m sorry to bother you with something so trivial, but…

Ah, I'm fine, Kondou-san.

[Though he does love when Kondou is fussing about him. He liked having Kondou's haori over his shoulders as well, Kondou's smell and warmth were so close then. He had kept Kondou's haori in their world as well, putting it around his shoulders whenever he was getting up.]

Will you be alright like this?

[conceded]

Haha, it's fine, Souji! You needn't worry so much about me.

[ Though it was really endearing. ]

[sadistsword]

Is that really something Kondou-san can say? Considering how much you always worry...

[But he wraps the haori a bit closer around himself. It felt really nice.]

[conceded]

Oh, I suppose it is a little hypocritical of me... Forgive me. I simply wish to make sure that you're safe.

[sadistsword]

It's alright. That's just like Kondou-san.

[And he leans a little against Kondou's shoulder. Usually, Souji wouldn't be so bold, but... who knew when - or rather- if they ever got to spend time together like that ever again? After all, his life was extremely fleeting. He never knew if he would still wake up the next morning after he went to sleep. And the idea that Kondou would be gone even before him never striked his mind.]

[conceded]

[ Don't think for a minute that Kondou minds. He's quick to slide his arm around Souji's waist, and tug him in just a little bit closer. After all, he didn't know how much time that they might have left to them either, so why not make the most of the moment now? ]

[sadistsword]

[Souji was tempted to ask if this is alright, but Kondou's gesture was saying enough at the moment. Even if he knew that it was a little selfish to do this.]

Kondou-san is warm.

[conceded]

You could stand to be a little warmer, Souji. I'll just have to share with you.

[ He doesn't mind indulging Souji where he can. ]

[sadistsword]

I think I'm warm enough, Kondou-san.

[With the constant fever and such. But that wasn't like Kondou's warmth, whose presence could just lit up a whole room.]

[conceded]

Oh, are you sure? That's good to hear, Souji. Let me know if you need anything else.

[ after all, he knows that he's not feeling well. ]

[sadistsword]

Mhm, I'm sure. Thank you, Kondou-san.

[He has sweets here, and Kondou. Two things he absolutely loved. He didn't really need anything else at the moment. One of his hands clutches itself in Kondou's kimono.]
