He wrapped his arms around the bartender, hugging him tightly from behind. The movement startled Shizuo as he froze in his tracks. Turning his head back he saw his clone, Tsugaru gripping him tightly. Removing the cigarette from his mouth, the bartender turned in Tsugaru’s arms, and pried him off.
“Tsugaru,” Shizuo said with concern in his tone, “What are you doing here? Did you get into a fight with Psyche?”
“No.” Tsugaru replied. Keeping his eyes down, his soft blue kimono hung loosely around him reflecting a passive demeanor. “I was sleeping and I heard Shizuo-kun’s thoughts.” He slowly tilted his head, now looking at the bartender. “Shizuo-kun wanted a hug but he says he can’t hug anyone because he would hurt people with his strength. So I came to give Shizuo-kun a hug.”
Shizuo blinked. The lit cigarette fell from his fingers as he now stood there facing his clone with a look of disbelief.
“Shizuo-kun can hug Tsugaru. We are made from the same DNA so Tsugaru can withstand Shizuo-kun’s strength,” Tsugaru replied.
Before Tsugaru could say anymore he felt himself being grabbed, pulled against the bartender into a tight hug. Responding, Tsugaru wrapped his arms around Shizuo returning his much desired affection.
“Don’t discredit yourself, Shizuo-kun,” Tsugaru said quietly, holding him tightly. “There will always be Tsugaru for you to hug.”
