"I will." He murmured, feeling placated for now, thanks to the soft affection he'd been given. He graced Chance with another smirk, "I like you too."
And then he left. He would have loved to stay. However, he needed to give himself space now and then, lest he overdose himself on the kindness and affections Chance gave him. He needed the time to resolve his feelings without leaning on that kindness too much. Needed to stand on his own.
All alone, it was easy to feel like he had no one. But thanks to his visit with Chance, he could remind himself that no, he had someone. He had many people, he was sure, even if times like these made him question who would ultimately stick around through the good times and the bad.
