I made a big fuss about it and now I'm asking, that seems stupid.
[He resumes pawing through the shoes, humming to himself a little under his breath. Gold and silver and green . . . a light green, maybe, or pale gold? There's something towards the back of the rack.]
[His lips twist uncertainly, brow furrowing as he keeps looking, but he doesn't say anything in response. After a few moments, he finds what he's looking for and pulls it out: a pair of ballet flats in soft kelly green with gold embroidered accents over the toe.]
Giorno... [He folded his arms, concerned more than actually upset.] If I didn't want to know, I wouldn't ask. I won't push you, but don't stop yourself just because of what day it is.
[For a moment he just watches Kakyoin, eyes drifting over his face for some indication of--what? That he's lying? That's stupid. Whatever it is, he doesn't find it.]
[Oh. That takes some of the fight out of him. He's . . . a little reluctant. But after a brief pause, he steps to Kakyoin's side and tucks himself under his arm.]
I know. That's the other reason I didn't want to tell you.
I'm glad that you did. [and you're getting a damn hug.] I think...it's better to be worried with someone than to try holding something like that alone.

Giorno, are you okay?
no subject
[He looks up, blinking. Like he's forgotten what they were talking about, which he's trying to. And yet.]
Oh. Well, I just feel a little stupid for asking? I guess. I don't know. Do you think gold and silver and green would be too much?

[and then:]
Hierophant's eyes are yellow. I think it'd be fine.

Are there any greens you don't like?
no subject
[Kakyoin looked over Giorno's shoulder, following up with:]
Not really. Neon green, maybe, but aside from that any shade's fine.
no subject
Mm?

[Well, it wasn't what he was originally thinking, but.]
I think green on the shoes, then silver and gold . . . I think it would look good. You could do your nails green, too. If you wanted.

Giorno...it's just us right now, you know. You can talk to me, if you want to.
no subject
Some other time, maybe. I'm not going to be responsible for you talking about anything but your anniversary today.

I don't want to make you sad.

I don't want good things to keep happening if they're just going to go away again. So I want to get everything right. In case that helps. That's all.

[Kakyoin held out one arm slightly in the usual invitation, public location be damned.]
I am, too. I'm tired and worried, and it's terrible.

I know. That's the other reason I didn't want to tell you.

[Still sulky. But the hug helps.]
Do you think it ever goes away?

[He buries his face in Kakyoin's shoulder.]
I hope it's a little better soon, anyway.

You make things better in general. So. It helps.
