—Ah. [ Zura instantly drops his wrist and recoils, tucking his hands back into his sleeves. Don't scare him like that? ]
I'll have none of that in here. [ Even though this is technically Sakamoto's room? Better get ready for some changes to and in your room, Tatsuma. Though, that was pretty loud and gross, so.. ]
Are you alright? [ HOW THOUGHTFUL. He's looking out for you! ]
[ He's hurt? Oh no.. Sakamoto must have really ripped one big time. This is obviously not what Zura wanted to wake up to, but he's worried. Voice a bit panicked, he beckons with his hand slightly. ]
Someone is actually paying attention to him in a time of need! Does this mean that Zura wouldn't leave him to bleed out on the kitchen floor? Wow! Shock! Amaze! This is a great feeling...]
Of course, of all the people, Zura is going to worry over something as harmless as a fart.. because everything is serious with him. Katsura rushes over to Sakamoto's side, placing his palms on his shoulders and encouraging him to sit down— but then.. ]
Is it okay to sit? Does it hurt to sit? Ah.. how do I get medical attention for you?
[ Well. That is a relief that he can sit.. but for how much longer? Katsura feels his cheeks tint a very light color but he clears his throat, adverting his gaze to the side. ]
—I can begin to assemble funeral arrangements for you.
[ KATSURA. IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS. ]
And make your final days as enjoyable as you want them to be. [ were.. his eyes beginning to tear up? ]
[This is all very sweet. Sakamoto can't remember the last time he's been in such close proximity with someone who actually expressed emotions in a normal, somewhat healthy way.
[ He doesn't get it at first but then it suddenly hits him like a bolt. Oh. He wasn't really dying— nothing was wrong with his heart.. it seemed like it was maybe some way for him to be affectionate to Zura? In an odd, Sakamoto kind of way.
Which is just perfect, but Katsura will have to get used to it. Suddenly, Zura feels really silly.. ]
O—Oh. Ah. I see. [ God. Calming down, now. ]
Don't joke about things like that. [ He doesn't sound stern, but makes a point that he means it. ]
[ Sakamoto often jokes and Katsura never does, so there is a problem right there. Not like it is a bad or big problem, but something they will have to understand about one another.
Kataura blinks, but takes a seat next to Sakamoto on the bed, looking at him inquisitively. He clears his throat awkwardly and folds his hands neatly in his lap. ]
I'm glad it is nothing serious.
[ He's so scared that he'll lose you. Not like Tatsuma needs to know the details about that. ]
You did that enough as it was— flying about space all through these years and only coming to Earth so often..
[ He doesn't react to feeling Tatsuma close the space between them with a little nose bump, and something sounds like he is a bit salty about that, Sakamoto. How you could just go where ever you please in what seemed like such a care free way and leave them behind.
Perhaps it was foolish, nay, irresponsible to assume that one man could shoulder a burden as heavy as protecting the entire Earth. In the end he collapsed beneath it.
Zura has wanted to see the dawn of a new Japan for so long now, but Sakamoto is happy that the man is here on the ship with him. This way, he won't die bitter or angry.
They'll be together.]
You're holdin' up alright, aren'tcha? I'm glad you're sleepin' well.

The merchant plops onto the bed with a thud before reaching for one of Zura's hands and taking it gently.]
Sittin's alright.
[He doesn't need medical attention, Zura.
He just wants your attention.]

[ were.. his eyes beginning to tear up? ]
no subject
Ahhhhh, Zura~!
[He pulls the dark-haired samurai in with those obscenely defined arms, and buries his head in the other man's chest.]
I really think I'm dyin'.
no subject
I won't allow it! Sakamoto!
[ ABSOLUTELY CLINGING. ]
You can't! [ He can't have anything happen to you. You're the last person he is so attached to. ]
If you die, I will die with you!
And I will arrange both of our funerals!

[This is all very sweet. Sakamoto can't remember the last time he's been in such close proximity with someone who actually expressed emotions in a normal, somewhat healthy way.
He looks up, his eyes earnest.]
My heart's been actin' real funny lately.
I dunno what that's all about.

Sakamoto!
[ He jolts away. ]
Why haven't you seen a doctor..!?
no subject
Stupid. ♥
What I got, it's not somethin' that fancy medicines and bigtime doctors can fix, alright?
Don'tcha get it?
no subject
N..No— does this mean that there isn't any hope for you..?
Ah, it's not stupid, it's Katsura.
no subject
[Earnestly.]
When it comes to this kinda thing, I'm not good at spellin' my feelings out.
no subject
[ The distress in his voice Is Real. He recoils, again, becoming louder and more hysteric. ]
[ Maybe Katsura was going to die alone after all. ]
Y—You can't say something like this so suddenly! Why haven't you told me..?
no subject
[In a special way.]
Y'know, the others used to complain a whole lot. Ah, that Zura! He was always readin' in school. Keepin' up with homework 'n all that!
How come you're so literal, then? You couldn't tell?
I just wanted ta say somethin' nice.

Won't you come here? Now that ya understand.
[Sakamoto speaks in metaphors much of the time.
It makes things easier.]

Yeah, me too! I wouldn't wanna leave ya all alone.
I know how much you'd hate that.
