[ It's true, the whole soulmates thing is incredibly important to Taiki. If not just because finding out what the string meant had him excited enough, and back then he had been much younger... he's already been waiting so long to be able to find his soulmate that his excitement only grew and grew over time, so how excited he is about it by now is just an accumulation of all the excitement he's bottled up over the years.
Finally he's together with Yomotsu... and finally Yomotsu is saying the exact things Taiki imagined his soulmate would tell him once they met. Not that any of the other's earlier behaviour bothered him at all. Even when Yomotsu was clearly - to any normal person, anyway - trying to get rid of him, Taiki didn't think he was being mean in the slightest. But even oblivious Taiki who sees the best in absolutely anything can't deny that this is a lot more like what he imagined being with his soulmate would be like. His soulmate carrying him when he's tired, his soulmate promising him he'll hug him as much as Taiki wants... what more could he ever need in his life, honestly?
At least it helps with making him more excited, and being more excited means that his tiredness is being fended off for another moment. Even though his body still feels incredibly heavy, his eyes can't help but shine at the very thought of cuddling with Yomotsu. That's definitely worth trying to stay up for a little bit more.
He nuzzles his head a little against Yomotsu's shoulder while the other is still carrying him - closing his eyes again, but at least seeming very much awake for now. ]
That's the first time you said that...
[ It doesn't sound accusatory though, no matter how much that might be expected in a situation like this. Yomotsu did abandon him, but.. Taiki doesn't mind. He doesn't blame the other.. he's too innocent to even realise the other's intentions. He just genuinely thinks Yomotsu told him to wait for him and then came back for him, the long wait between isn't even that strange in his mind. Especially not if his spirit soulmate came back more affectionate than before, then that could only be a good thing to him. ]
