[That's definitely a fond smile on his face at that.]
They are, and the fact that you get along with them only makes it better.
[But Harumasa thinks that he'll be happy either way. He's happy to quietly love them. If a possible cure is on the table, then maybe his mind would change. Plus....]
I think I'd be happy either way, but it's a lot to ask of a brand new relationship to have them take care of me like I'll need and miss out on some moments because of my health. I feel bad enough asking that of you guys, and you've already told me that you're fine with it. There's a lot that I'll need to think about.
[And they don't know if he'll have much time after the tests come back. Harumasa refuses to say that part out loud. That's far too cruel to say within earshot of his loved ones.
However, he smiles as his hair is ruffled and relaxes a bit. For a guy that can transform into an enormous tiger, he's such a house cat.]
Haha, I think we can be gifts to each other! [Harumasa sighs softly.] I had a pretty similar background in my past life, you know. The difference was that one of the doctors was also a mentor to me. He taught me archery and swordsmanship, and how to move around despite my body's limitations. The exploitation was still real, of course, but so was the love and care. He died while trying to create a cure for me, though, and I never knew until after the fact.
But... this time around, I got siblings and I got to reunite with a lot more of them than I ever thought I would. So I definitely think of you as a gift. I would've been a lot more lost if I didn't have you in my life.
