I thought you were being sarcastic, about doing something stupid... [ It's embarrassing to have misinterpreted that, but also immensely relieving to find out he was wrong. Tech Boy must have been... being literal. Not making a joke. The tension that had been building in K's posture eases as he presses his face against Tech Boy's neck, muffling his apology. ] I'm sorry. Of course I'll take care of you if anything happens. [ It's worth repeating. And he'll make good on that promise soon enough. ]
I know being careful isn't always enough, but as long as you're trying. And willing to let me help you. As long as you'll always do your best to come back to me.
[ Because I can't lose you.
The shifting makes him look back up. ]
Are you saying I only imagined jazz music making you cringe? [ His tone is teasing, a bit cautiously so following his prior misunderstanding. It's still hard to imagine Tech Boy actually enjoying being serenaded with ancient jazz, or non-electronic music in general other than classical, but his words â and validation â have K smiling even more now. ] You could share more of the music that you like, too.
