secare | Yato & Yukine, Traumaprom

Yeah, you do.

No!! I don't!

You're always selfish about shit, so just be selfish here too!

So maybe this is selfish, too! I'm doing this because it's what I want-- I'm not going to watch you die! [ again.

he clenches his fists. ]

Then don't offer up something dumb! This is simple, Yato!

( WAVING A HAND!! )

Last time we offered up memories. Io did memories of old teammates and her voice. I gave up my name.

If we make big offers, no one will die here. I'm just saying if something happens, I'll take the sacrifice! That's just how we're going to do it!

I'm telling you, no.

We can offer whatever we like, but there's no guarantee-- I thought it'd be so simple last time, and I'm not taking the chance this time! Offer whatever you think will be worth it, but if the Echo refuses us, you're not taking it!

Give up, 'cos I'm not backing down.

I don't get it! Why are you pushing this so hard?!

( bristling! )

I already said why!

But it sounds like bullshit!

What's it matter?!

Because it's your life, Yato!!

You can't just try to throw it away like this!

I'm not throwing anything away! You know it's always temporary, I'm not gonna disappear!

I can handle it no matter what that bitch pulls, [ nothing's going to be as bad as Corpsequest, surely ] so stop worrying about it.

You are! What am I supposed to do if something happens? Just watch you die? It doesn't make it any better that you come back! It's still fucking scary!

( PUFFING UP. )

I can handle dying better! I've died before!

[ shuts his mouth, glancing away... ]

That doesn't mean anything. I've died, too.

[ which Yukine only knows because Mushy spilled the beans, back then. thanks, Mushy.

but at least this time, it'd be on his own terms, in a way. if it's a choice between scaring Yukine, or watching Yukine die... well, the answer remains obvious. ]

It's gonna be fine. Right now, just think of a good offer.

No, no way! I won't accept this!

( he's not getting teary, there's just sweat in his eyes!! his fists ball at his sides. )

It's not going to be fine! You can't die for me!
