He couldn’t blame Eric for not being all right immediately, and when he pressed closer, Kazue held him there and squeezed him tightly. “It’s okay if you need to cry for a while… I-It is.” He certainly was, and there was no way to stop because he was still too overwhelmed by the sudden rush of all of his feelings. “Do you want to move? I-I can carry you to the bed and we can just hold each other for a while…”

The tiniest of nods was all he could manage, and even that was after several moments to process what Kazue said. His grip tightened immediately after, though. He couldn’t handle the idea of being separated him even just long enough to move that short distance... He had only really caught the ‘move to the bed part, and missed the being carried bit.

“It is really good… And we’ll be full for a while, so that will be even better…” He gave a soft smile, somewhat wondering how it ended up becoming him comforting Eric, but not too worried about it.

“Being full is really good... Do you... Do you want to get ice cream after, too...?” It would take him a few more minutes, but he would remember that doing the comforting should be his job soon. He just really couldn’t handle Kazue being upset, and being the cause of it with no idea if he could fix it at all...

With the enthusiastic kiss the tension just kind of melted away. This was...This was definitely a yes, right? He smiled into the kiss for a moment before returning it. After a few moments, though, hopefully long enough that Kazue didn’t think he wasn’t enjoying the kiss- far from it- he used his hands, already in Kazue’s hair where he had been washing it, to angle his head a bit. Just enough to make the kisses a little more... A little less sloppy, and a bit more pleasurable.

Kazue couldn’t. The quickest way to break through any of his defenses, curse or not, was to see Eric in pain and hurting. It was even worse when he was crying. At seeing his love sick and near sobbing, even with how hard he was trying to hide it, the dam holding back his emotions broke, and he fell to his knees in front of him. “E-Eric…? No…” He pulled the other close and started to cry with him. “I’m sorry… I’m sorry for whatever that was. I love you so much… You can’t ever believe that I don’t… Please.” He couldn’t hold back his own sobs, everything he should have been feeling from before compounding with what he was feeling now.

He flinched and shrunk in on himself, quickly making himself as small as possible, when he felt Kazue move- only to press closer against Kazue when he felt his arms around him. It was impossible to respond to that, and almost as hard to believe it. He couldn’t, not after that. Not for a while, at least, and not without a good bit of reassurance from Kazue himself. For now, all he could do was cry harder, flat-out sobbing after a moment. All of this hurt, and he was sick, and he couldn’t focus on anything anymore, and nothing at all felt very good... Except maybe being held like this.

“Hm… Let’s get Chinese buffet? If we eat there, we’ll have a lot of food, and we’ll get to spend a while just sitting with each other…” He hoped Eric would be okay with that plan, make it so they were happier again.

“Okay... Chinese food is really good... And sitting with you is the best.” He hesitantly nuzzled Kazue’s neck, hoping it would be allowed. He was really happy Kazue was letting him fix this, helping him fix this, and he didn’t want to ruin it.

“I-I can be happy… This sounds like a place that’s really important to you… Do we want to ruin it with this being the reason you show it to me?” He slowly rubbed Eric’s back, feeling better just with knowing how much Eric wanted to help make him happy. “We could go out to eat… Sit and talk and be with each other…?”

He shook his head and pressed even closer. “No... I don’t want to ruin it... I... I want you to like it too. I want to go there a lot with you...” Show him how the change of seasons affected the place. “Where... Where do you want to eat...?”

Kazue watched him before he hugged him and nuzzled his shoulder, feeling small and needing comfort, but he knew Eric probably needed the same. When Eric stopped talking to his phone, he mumbled softly, “You’re sure it’s okay…? Do you want to take me there while you’re upset….?”

He nodded, leaning into him a little. “I’m sure. I... I need to... I need to f-fix this, and make you happy again...” He slipped the phone back into his pocket after it read off the confirmation text and turned to face him, pressing closer and hiding his face against Kazue’s shoulder. “I’m really, really sorry... I really shouldn’t have done that...”

At the command he froze, even his lungs stilling for a few moments. In the mindset he had to be in to do what he had been doing, to use every trick he could think of to tailor to what Kazue liked the most, he had to obey. The question knocked him mostly out of it, though- he flinched and whimpered softly, giving Kazue a broken look before dropping his gaze, tears trickling down his cheeks. “I-I’m sorry...” He shifted a little closer and pressed his forehead to Kazue’s hip in an attempt to both ground himself and hide his face, biting his lip hard to try to keep the slow tears turning to outright sobbing. This whole situation was far from okay, and with his fever spiking, it was hard to keep his head straight...

The bar gave a soft sound of surprise when it was when it was addressed. .It sometimes failed to remember how quiet and unassuming Eric was, not noticing his presence until it was too late. Knowing that now it had made two human sounds and that there was probably no way it was going to be able to hide that fact, it started grasping at straws and mimicked the sounds dogs made when they barked outside of the bar.

Internally, it was panicked and terrified. Seventy years of silence around others was too ingrained for it to be comfortable suddenly being overheard with no planning and no idea what to say if Eric continued to persist in knowing who was inside the bar.

This wasn’t good… What if Eric got upset and told everyone? Worse yet, what if Kusanagi-sama decided a talking bar, no matter how beautiful, wasn’t right for his establishment? It had been good enough at pretending to be a normal counter that maybe it wouldn’t be an issue, but the chance was still there. It didn’t want its life to be upended this badly all because of a simple mistake.

It took everything the bar had not to let out a sad cry at realizing it might have ruined everything in a single moment, but its own presence and emotions were overtaking the calm, homey atmosphere of the bar and becoming even more apparent. There was no way it would be able to hide itself after this.

“Hey, fuck you. What kind of fucking moron would fall for that? You might as well show yourself, I know there’s someone here.” He used the sound of his voice to cover the sound of his movements as he stood and drew his knife. No one should be here. Everyone he had seen come in had left, and Kusanagi-san had locked both the front and back doors when he left.

“This was a really stupid place to break into. Do you know where this is...? If the bartender doesn’t kill you, the King will.” Probably not really, but threats were never bad. This person had broken in without breaking anything. Person... Humans shouldn’t be able to bark that realistically. Like a recording,but not mechanical at all, and too fast... Maybe this was another Strain? Either way, he really wasn’t exactly keen to fight someone- he would probably lose. Do a good bit of damage first, of course, but he didn’t have enough experience to be comfortable taking anyone on without backup.

...Well, if they made enough noise, it would probably wake up Mikoto-san. That was actually a more terrifying idea than getting his ass kicked. The last time he had woken the King hadn’t exactly ended well.
