[ The one good thing here - for Yomotsu, anyway - is that Taiki doesn't notice that the other is about to cry. Maybe it's because he was sleepy to begin with and is just half-dazed with the way he's lying here with Yomotsu while in that state, all warm and bundled up.. or maybe it's just since he's oblivious. But no matter what the cause is, he doesn't notice Yomotsu's sadness over any of this. Taiki couldn't imagine Yomotsu feeling guilty or sad at hearing any of this, anyway, not when negative emotions are something so far out of Taiki's own field of experiences.
Instead, dazed or not, this feels more like the happiest he's ever felt. It's not like he usually isn't happy, but despite his sleepy state, this time it feels like the happiness is so strong that it'll burst straight out of him. None of Yomotsu's rejection ever really got through to Taiki before, so he was never sad about any of it, but this still feels special anyway. He's never been lying together in one bed with Yomotsu like this, all curled up, with the other telling him he loves him... What could be better than that for someone who's as clingy to his destined soulmate as Taiki is?
So he just giggles lightly, pressing himself as close to the other as possible. ]
You said it..
[ It's not as if Yomotsu not saying it before bothered him - Taiki never seemed sad because he just plainly wasn't sad - but it at least did register somewhere in his oblivious mind that Yomotsu never actually said it, even though Taiki all this time assumed the fox spirit felt it anyway. But now he is saying it, which only makes this whole situation feel even warmer.
And it makes him seem so incredibly content, lazily (due to his sleepiness) smiling against the other. ]
You're the best.
[ And that's just the truth to Taiki. No matter how much Yomotsu might guilt or blame himself for everything that happened up until this point, Taiki doesn't know any of it. Because he genuinely believes this - that Yomotsu is amazing, perfect for him. Only Yomotsu gives him this extra warm feeling in his chest, after all. Only Yomotsu has ever come to curl around him in bed like this, making Taiki feel like he belongs. This is what he expected out of having a soulmate all along. ]
