[ . . . for some reason, that didn't occur to him. it shows in the slight raise of his eyebrows - but his lips curve into a smile regardless.
there will always be a part of him that thinks that he must protect humans. there will always be the part that whispers into his ear that he will choose them over him, every single time
[It's funny, he never expected to find someone who thinks so similarly to him. It makes him wonder what kind of life Buzen has led up to this point.
But he doesn't ask about that, and instead just smiles and raises up his hand. He's going for a fist-bump but doesn't realize that some people here don't know what fist-bumps are.]
Teamwork sounds better than working alone, yeah. You can count on me, got it? And I'll count on you too.
[the fortunate thing is that buzen has witnessed a fist-bump, so that's not hard for him to pick up on! though he still manages a grin and a little novel - ] Oh, never done this before.
[before he just bumps his fist against atsushi's, a confident little knock]
Yeah. I'm glad we get a chance to work together, Atsu-san. Even if this place gets kinda rough, I'm really happy I've had the chance to meet you.
[Those are words Atsushi really doesn't hear often, and he finds a warmth blooming in his chest as a result. It's a little embarrassing, but Atsushi thinks he likes this feeling of friendship and acceptance. He likes it a lot.]
... really? But you talked so fondly of your home... Yokohama, right? I mean - I figure it's hard for humans to manage one way or another, that's just life.
But I'd think people might be a little kinder to you... You're a pretty thoughtful person.

Mmm, me too.
Thanks for being such a good friend, Buzen.

[even after their little fistbump, he'll just shift so that he can lightly lean some of his weight against atsushi in a friendly bump]
You deserve good friends and comrades. I want to see you happy, too.

[They're even leaning together like bros, it's awesome.
And if Buzen wants to see him happy, then Atsushi is pretty happy right now.
Up until that pizza party on Sunday whew]no subject

[It's. A lot complicated. And needs several content warnings when it comes up.]
But I would like it, to be surrounded by kind people.

[buzen will tilt his head to affectionately bonk his against atsushi's, offering up a grin]
At least, you'll always be welcome with me if you need a friend.
no subject
With a friend like you, I would say it's a good start.
