[Rin keeps his head down, eyes focused on the ground, as Yukio moves towards (no... past) him, his tail in a limp coil on the ground behind him.
In his shadow... How ridiculous. Yukio had always been the golden child, the "good" one, the twin who was going to go far and DO things! Get things done! And Rin... Rin had always been so proud of him. A little envious, maybe, but really... just happy for his brother's success. That at least one of them would do Father Fujimoto proud, even if it couldn't be him. How could Yukio think that?
Why couldn't he see how important he was? To Rin, to their friends, to his students, everyone. Why? Why couldn't he seehow much Rin loved him and just wanted him to be safe and happy? Isn't that what family is?
Maybe he's been mistaken about it all this time]
.... No. I guess you don't. [it's a nice, succinct answer to both of Yukio's statements] .... I'm sorry, Yukio, if I.... if I ever made you feel like you had to rely on me. I just wanted to be there for you. If you don't want that, though, I'll... I won't.... [he trails off and sniffles again, unable to find the words to complete that train of thought. ] But I won't stop caring about you. I won't stop loving you. I can't.
