themoonlightthief:

It was enough to pull a snort and a soft, quiet, still too shaky laugh from the clinging magician and he shook his head, once, hands curling tighter into the suit and pulling the thief closer to him.

“No. You’re—” He stopped, voice breaking, and squeezed his eyes shut, head sliding just a little further down his double’s chest to hide his face from view. “…No. I— s-sorry.”

A small, soft smile just barely rose up, and he leaned his head down to rest on top of the other’s. The actions and the fact that his alternate self seemed to not be able to banter with him right now still worried him… But at least he was welcome to help.

“Nothing to be apologise for, magician-san. I’m certainly not one to turn down a free hug, especially from you.”

A light tone, but not quite teasing. The thief would have liked it better if the other didn’t seem so… so insecure.
