If you can't read what anyone is saying, then why are you crying?

[a slow blink, the ??? practically palpable. then he does as he's asked]

[playfulsong]

[Road nuzzles her small face against his cheek. She's a warm and swirling mass, but clearly just as human as she was when she first hugged him. Remember the first time, Allen? This is like that, but for a totally different reason. She wants to assure him that she will come back. That she's still alive despite the small form.]

aughhhh my heart

[showmystar]

[yes, he remembers the first time, and it wasn't exactly nice. God, everything is so complicated. this, though, surprises him. Allen was expecting a peck on the cheek for effectively calling her cute. this is touching. this is nice. his expression collapses, shocked and tearful]

Ah . . . [still alive. still human. everyone's getting hurt because of him, just because he's selfish. and despite everything, here's another person being so kind about it.

because he made her worry about him. she'll be okay. he stitches himself together and pulls Road's lunar form away, instead holding her in front of him. he gives Road a reassuring smile of his own]

We'll both we okay. [he says it like a promise. a finger pats her head] Thank you, Road.

feeeels~ so many feeeeeels~ ;-;

[playfulsong]

[Road nods, a few sparks going off around her. It's not that easy to keep any form for long.]

Thank you, Allen, for being alive. Keep moving forward no mater what. [She chuckles softly, tired, as her eyes start to close.] I really love you.

feels overloaaad! /lies on the floor and cries

[showmystar]

[Allen's smile becomes pained at the edges. he never quite knows what she means when she says she loves him. does she mean the Fourteenth, or Allen? sometimes, even Allen isn't sure where his feelings regarding Road originate. the lines are beyond blurred.

but she used his name, so he'll take it. he nods, determined] Even though it's selfish, I won't give up. Even if my legs stop and my arm rejects me, I'll drag myself forward.

. . . I care about you too, you know. I couldn't say why, but I do. So heal quickly, okay?

/curls up with so we can have cries pile

[hmmm, who really knows? At first Road would have happily killed the human named Allen like any other human she had met. But now? Well, she just couldn't leave his side. Maybe it was because the 14th was awakening within him, but she didn't think so. She did love Nea, but in the end he was still the Noah of destruction and the one that had killed many others of their kind. Those feels for Allen weren't the same as the ones she had for Nea. Somewhere along this crazy path they had taken Road just knew she loved Allen because he was Allen, even when he said really odd answers like that one.]

Promise.
