[I ACTUALLY DON'T THINK THEY DO HELP but it doesn't matter to buzen, because he'll just go to wherever matsui is. when matsui squeezes his fingers, buzen will just let theirs tangle together, making it harder for him to pull away or let go.]
Mm... alright, let's go.
[easily. with the arm around matsui's shoulders, he'll just go to start walking in that direction then, encouraging him to lean a little bit more on buzen to see if the closeness will help]
How about if I carry you and run there? So you can see for yourself all my strength's back and I'm good as new.
[this is such a stupid test but also it's the most straightforward one, so of course it's what buzen suggests]
[HELP this just becomes a wistful statement from matsui pining over the better days before dodo became his mortal enemy.
He seems fine enough with this arrangement, though; he doesn't have any particularly strong desire to let go of Buzen's hand, even if he's in a bit of a mood. The suggestion, likewise, has him glancing over. Something so ridiculously and perfectly Buzen... He can't help but feel fond, the warmth of it striking through his moody malaise at least a little.]
You don't need to show me. I know that it is.
[But he still stops walking anyway, shifting to face Buzen like he expects to be scooped up regardless.]
[matsui please acknowledge that it's a stupid suggestion.... even though buzen just think it's as close to logical as he'll ever get! so when matsui stops walking, so does he. a smile pulls at his lips, sincere and eager, apparently pleased that his stupid idea sounds good to matsui too]
Is this what they call a mixed signal, Matsu...
[when his words don't match his actions - but well, actions really do speak louder, right? so buzen will follow exactly that lead, scooping matsui up in his arms so easily and holding him close]
You can listen to my heartbeat too - my uh, blood's probably working hard?
[No........ It's not a stupid suggestion because it means he gets to be spoiled and carried by Buzen... He's WINNING!!
Also this is so funny HELP. Buzen really does try so hard IT'S THE EARNESTNESS FOR HIM!! He closes his eyes and rests his head against Buzen's chest, right over his heart, and there's maybe even the faintest and briefest flicker of smiles because truly, it is so ridiculous.
But hearing it does set his own heart at ease, just a little.]
...Yes. I can hear it - your blood is working hard, as usual.
[These are such fucking weird words but they are so soft coming from him.]
