[ Watching Shouto struggle to convey himself to him is hard, knowing it's somehow tied to the injury Allen took, and makes his heart twist painfully. Looking up finally when he kisses his cheek and meeting his eyes as he cups his face, Allen's expression becomes gentle. Touched.

He brings his hand up to touch his lips very gently then, like the blind tracing letters as Shouto mouths the words he wants to speak. Allen smiles gently then finally, if a little sadly, but peaceably. It's alright. I understand what you mean. Fundamentally, at least. A kiss, a touch, the look in the eye-- sometimes those can convey more than even words can, you know?

It's why it's only a little surprising when he feels the small tingle in his ear where the bloodstone band is, something not entirely unfamiliar as he's felt a sense of power and connection from it before. Felt what seemed like a phantom sense of emotions not his own, and the reassuring and steady presence that Shouto exudes. It's a comforting if curious thing when he's reflected on it later, trying to figure out the reason for it, and even more reason why he never takes it off. He said the point of them exchanging earrings was to feel always connected, right? Together and reminded of the other even when apart. That it's literal -- Allen had no idea, but it touches a part of his heart in a odd, but very poignant sort of way.

That said.

He is entirely shocked to hear Shouto's voice echo within his own thoughts as real and present as if he'd spoken aloud. O-oh. Oh! ]


I heard you!
