[He couldn't help the slight sniffs, but he calmed quickly and snuggled into Steve's chest.]
It doesn't treat anyone fairly. [He could agree to that fully, usually. To Steve's generous offer, Setsuna shook his head.]
I'm good. [Because he already associated them with Kira and Katou, who were both dead, and now that look Steve had given him earlier. He wouldn't be able to get rid of it long enough to manage, not anytime soon.] I don't want them, not anymore.
If you're sure Setsuna? I promise I won't complain about you drinking. That should sweeten the deal hmm? And maybe you could invite Peter over for a little party sometime. I'd be sure to get the best liquor the hotel provides . . .
[It was absolutely a joke and he smiled at Setsuna, no little damp-eyed himself. He knew he'd played unfairly with a stacked deck. The kid was so used to being yelled at and left behind, he'd do anything to stop that happening. The fact that he'd manipulated Setsuna a little for his own good didn't make it right, and he had a feeling that sin was going to show up on his list sooner rather than later. But he'd been living with crushing guilt for years. What was a little more?]
I'm sure. [Setsuna gave Steve a dead serious, determined nod. He hadn't considered for a second Steve would manipulate him. He was just too happy everything seemed okay again.]
Food sounds good. [He reached for Steve's hand and gave it a squeeze, happy to do something where they were both happy again.]
