"No, no, I couldn't after I've been branded." Just like he said. It was true. Why freak out now at the mention of just tattoos? As always, the reminder he was theirs felt so good. "Were," he repeated softly, mentally cursing himself a second later as he just had to repeat the other. He leaned back, actually finding some comfort in the touches. The marks didn't hurt anymore even though he got them so recently. Takahashi had taken great care of him, caring for any wounds he had. He enjoyed getting hurt by Ishida and aftercare with Takahashi. Aftercare with Ishida had been rare, but incredible when he showed him such mercy. Takahashi happily dished out both. "I-I don't want just a reminder." He mumbled, thankful his back was to Takahashi. He felt embarrassed wanting to admit such things, even though if he had to, Takahashi was the one to do it to.
