And … if that person poured their heart out to you, saying you’re more than enough and you’re perfect? (Possibly that they think they don’t deserve you because you’re so perfect?)

Ichimatsu holds up a sign that says “0 (literal) SHITS GIVEN IN ___ DAYS,” the blank space filled in with a “35” with a dry erase marker. “Look at this. Please don’t mess this up for me. I’m imperfect, but the floor is clean.”

How would you feel ichi, having someone innocently looking up from beneath you with eyes full of unconditional love and wanting? You truly deserve it, Ichi 💜

He sinks lower in his chair, pulling part of the hoodie over his face because he’s not out of frame, why can he not get lower, damn it? “I’d be freaking out a little because that is a lot of pressure to be under and there’s a high chance that I’ll fuck it up.”

Ahhh, hello Ichimatsu-kun! Remember me? (grins widely) Thank you so much for the comforting words a few weeks ago, you seriously are a hero. Ah—! Anyways! Have you been able to visit the strays lately? How’re you doing?

Ichimatsu looks a bit amazed. “I do, I do. Hey, um. You been holding up ok? You don’t need to thank me, you know, it’s ok. I’m no big deal.” He does smile, though. Just a little bit. He forces it back down and shrugs. “Any time I can, yeah. Jyuushimatsu said he’d take over for me today, so that’s nice. I’m tired, as usual, but I should hold out for you guys. If you’re bored enough to watch trash rot, I may as well make it amusing.” He pauses a moment before adding on, “Be safe, ok?”
