[ it's the truth, at least, and vie takes it in stride, holding him tightly and doing his best to hush his worries with all that he is. the proximity should help—and the fact he's no longer drunk on the floor. they are small steps, things that vie can help jaejin control, and if this is all he can do for now, then he will do it as well as he can.
still, the pull of jaejin's words cause him to squeeze tighter, pushing his face into the back of his shoulder as he holds him. for someone like him, something like that is almost too much responsibility. he's barely managed to take care of his own; how would he do with someone else's? how could jaejin give it to him so freely knowing what their futures might be? how could vie take it and not want to protect it? what would he ever do if he lost it?
it's not something he wants to think about, nuzzling him gently after a moment of racing thoughts. ]
I promise to do my best to care for it. [ and he hopes, more than anything, that he doesn't mess it up. ] I love you, Jaejin. I don't need or want anyone else.
