[Maybe he's over thinking all of this, but it still feels like he needs to be extra cautious- no matter what he decides to do. Stay with Taiki and keep him warm before he does anything else? Go get him food now? There aren't too many different options, but his mind still keeps going back and forth with what'd be the best course of action.
Then again, maybe the best thing he could do is just ask Taiki what he wants himself.]
Do you want me to go get you something now...? I'll have to get up again for a second, but I'll come right back...
[In a somewhat tentative motion, he moves his hand up and down against the back of Taiki's head- trying to be more reassuring. It still feels like his motions are a bit awkward...these're things he's not used to doing at all normally.
But he really needs Taiki to know that he won't leave for good- not again, and not for long. Even though he's sure by now that the boy would believe him, it's not good enough just to know that he will come back...Yomotsu needs to make sure Taiki knows he'll come back fast too. That he won't leave him like he did before...not again. That's something he could never bring himself to do again.
And so...]
I'll be here...even if I'm gone for a second, it's just to get you something. And then I'll be here again.
[He doesn't want to leave Taiki without telling him...but this is just in case- just in case Taiki needs something that Yomotsu has to go get for him, maybe after he's fallen asleep too.]
[ It's true, not even a part of Taiki thinks that Yomotsu would abandon him now. If he didn't even think so back when the other was acting a lot more prickly towards him, then why would he ever start to think it now the other is holding him and curled up so close to him in bed? Taiki really believes the fact that Yomotsu will come back no matter what without a doubt, and his body language seems pretty relaxed because of it too, like he has absolutely nothing to worry about right now.
So all the reassuring from Yomotsu isn't exactly needed, but the human smiles anyway when he hears all of it. It's just nice to hear it too, Yomotsu promising so much that he'll come back, that he'll be by his side right away again. That means Yomotsu must like being around him just as much as Taiki likes being around Yomotsu, right?
He laughs weakly - the weak part more due to his body's current condition than anything else, since he really is happy - and wiggles slightly against the other. ]
Can't you take me with you..?
[ Yes, it's not like he doesn't trust Yomotsu, he knows the other will come back.. but now the fox spirit is giving him more affection than usually, Taiki doesn't want to miss out on a moment of it. He just doesn't want to stop cuddling with Yomotsu.
Then again, it's not exactly a good idea for him to leave the bed right now. He's so tired from sitting out there all night, not to mention he caught a cold, so Taiki's body probably isn't energetic and strong enough to support him right now. But Taiki isn't the type to consider that at all - he's just thinking about how he doesn't want to leave Yomotsu's side at all right now, and so he naively speaks up. ]
