[oh it'll be fun to watch natsume practice being blind in one eye from his top bunk, he guesses. maybe!!!

subaru slips his hand down just enough to hold natsume's, giving it a firm squeeze. he's here, he'll always be here. he'll say it as many times as he needs]

'Course! Bet you feel better about not having to hide anything from me too, huh~? One more weight off your shoulder! ♪

[even though there's still so much natsume isn't telling him, that's fine. it's nothing obvious to subaru, and it's not currently detrimental to his friend, so it's fine. there's things he hasn't told natsume, either]
