"Is that an order?" Declan asked, smiling softly, cheeks coloring as he shook his head. It was a foolish bit of ribbing, but the way Aoba said it, so authoritative. It honestly warmed the Titan.
"I've known many people in my life, Aoba. Many have come and went, and I'd hazard to say many might have been friends...But none of them have...been with me..." he fumbled for words again, raising his hand to his own chest, patting the white skin. "...None have been in here, the same way. I can't forget you, Aoba. And I wouldn't want to. I said you would always have a home here, but that wasn't about my apartment. That can crumble....I might be stationed somewhere else. That is what I meant, Aoba," Declan reiterated, tapping his chest again.
"Here. Always a place. Understand?" the big man asked, brows lifting a moment before he offered one of those brief smiles again and turned to make place settings for them to eat.
