( His memories are uncomfortably warm-- an a dark room, filled with forgotten things, a sudden fire, and then the air is cold.
It's too early to tell because he's still feeling the heat but his fever will break and he'll start to cool down. The worst of it seems to be passing and it helps to have someone close. When she touches his cheek, he can't help but turn his face into her hand, trying to feel her for as long as he can. The kiss is really the last thing it takes to make him cry, though. He hates crying and he'd decided a long time ago to take on the role of the one who can be depended on to smile a long time ago. But actually, he cries just as easily as Izuminokami whom he always teases.
It's embarrassing to cry, though, and he shifts, turning over in the futon and reaching to grab onto Vietnam's hand or skirt or something. Even if she's said she won't leave, he wants to make sure she doesn't. Those memories had been so lonely and right now, he needs to feel someone else with him. )
