[ shinji hasn't had the same experiences as byakuya -- he hasn't endured what byakuya has. in fact, he doesn't really even know the details of it all. until he does, he'll only see things like this in black and white. and though he is impatient, it isn't like he's asking for this to change overnight.
in fact, he's thinking about it. about how scared byakuya always seems to be, when he (softly) falls onto shinji. he's surprised at first, but quick reflexes gather him upright, off the floor. and just like that, shinji held him close. tightly. just like he had when they were young. byakuya was always scared then, too.
once they'd started going to school, shinji had told him to grow up. he thinks maybe if he hadn't; maybe if he'd just indulged him a while longer it wouldn't still be this bad. ]
You'll be okay. [ he swallows the odd lump in his throat, wondering why his heart is beating so fast. ]
