[There's no part of him that can even consider the idea of being careful with his own promise right here. Not if it'll make Taiki keep his promise of making sure he doesn't fall asleep so long as Yomotsu's still trying to help him get somewhere warmer first. He doesn't even care if he's not careful with it- he'll really do it, dammit! He'll hug this goddamned human constantly as long as he doesn't fall asleep and die after staying awake for a whole night.
In fact, as soon as Taiki's eyes open wide and he makes that promise, Yomotsu lets out a breath he'd been holding. Maybe it's no guarantee that the guy won't start getting sleepy again, but...well, Yomotsu's pretty damn sure that if he makes a promise, he'll try to keep it. Especially after everything that's happened...so it's a little reassuring at least.
He slows to a stop for a moment...pulling the other closer to himself and squeezing him a tiny bit- doing the best he can to hug him while he's already holding him like this. As if it's a promise of more to come.]
Yeah...as much as you want.
[His eyes squeeze shut again- feeling like the tears are starting to well up again from hearing that chipperness in the other's voice...This guy really is trying to make him feel better, isn't he?
This goddamned red string of fate bullshit...Yomotsu feels like it must be wrong more than ever before. But only because there's no way some scum of the earth like him could deserve someone like Taiki. Someone who would try to make him feel better even after Yomotsu left him out alone in the cold all night. Who may as well have left him for dead, all things considered...
Still...he knows how important that thing is to Taiki. So...]
W-we're............we're soulmates, right? ...Of course I'll hug you more...
