[ Ice is spreading inside his muscles. Every second they speak, every breath they take, every word they shed, feels crucial for Jyushimatsu. His older brother might cough massive blood up and die on him anytime. It's difficult to think his efforts will be rewarded. He hates being uncertain, knowing jackshit about this curse, shooting in the dark even when there's supposedly a way out of dying from those shitty flowers.
When Ichimatsu moves, taking a hold of his other hand, Jyushimatsu feels the skin to skin contact with his painfully clenched fist, and inhales shakily. Ichimatsu's only so gentle with cats, and while Jyushimatsu's not new to the feeling, it's so refreshing and wonderful and just so good he eventually can no longer hold the tears back.
It's okay if he's a little fragile right now, because Ichimatsu's with him... but man does he hate being this bare when he's supposed to be the pinnacle of support for his sick brother.
His head tilts slightly, perking to attention. ]
... No, I don't know.
[ He could know, he could just think about it some, but he's not up for guessing games and he'd really like to hear Ichimatsu pour more of his feelings out.
Even if they're going to be ugly and hurtful for his ears. ]
