[For as much as Rin wants their partnership to work out, he doesn't want to force Sousuke to accept it or even ease into it if his heart truly tells him not to. It's why he's upset things ended up this way, with Sousuke approaching him first to apologize and now standing here with guilt in his heart. He feels as if he's forcing him to do something he doesn't want to do. Maybe he didn't want to see him tonight. Maybe he didn't want to speak to him or associate with him ever again. And now here he is, moving forward, calling him his friend...
He doesn't want to see him this way again either.
Rin's about to make his way over to Sousuke's side when his shinki does the work for him and to his surprise even takes his arm to loop it over his shoulders.]
Hey. Careful. It might hurt you too.
[The spot burns and tingles, and no matter if it's small or not, he doesn't want to risk blighting Sousuke by mistake. He doesn't expect him to let up or change his mind though, so after taking a second to more evenly distribute his weight he takes a deep breath then channels some of his energy towards his core. Now let's see. What did it look like? Where is it in relation to them? Another second, another image-- Now.
Gripping onto Sousuke's shirt, Rin sends them both drifting through time and space and in no time at all they're back on their feet, only this time with the scent of chlorine lingering in the air. It's still dark, but with the god's presence the lights in the water flicker to life to bathe the large room with a pale blue hue. He's sure it's beautiful. A sight he's missed and been away from for far too long.
But as soon as they arrive, Rin slumps forward, head hung, and reaches up to touch the tender skin on his neck while the sting persists. It's almost like being cut.]
