[ The blanket slips off him as he stands up and makes a beeline over to Atsushi. The way En looks at Atsushi is reminiscent of someone who hasn't seen their best friend in person in years. ]
[ En reaches his hands out, only to grab Atsushi's glasses and lift them up so they're resting on the top of Atsushi's head. He seems... like his Atsushi. Alert and sheepish and nervous. ]
Atsushi....
[ He lets out a sigh of relief, and it feels to him like it's been a sigh he's been preparing all week long. ]
I don't need anything; I got what I was hoping for.
[ Atsushi heard that sniffle. He heard it En, you can't hide it from him and his momming instincts. He moves in the rest of the way to pull En into a hug. ]
Yeah... I think so. I feel more like myself now than I did this whole week or so...
[ En is more than happy to hug him back tightly and lean his head against Atsushi's. ]
I'm glad you're back to being my Atsushi.
[ He would have stuck by Atsushi regardless, but watching his friend lose all motivation to the point where he was more unmotivated than he himself was... ]
You owe me a good hundred or so cans of coffee and curry meals, you know.
[ En's kidding... mostly. Really, he's just glad that the new crystal worked, but he can smell the curry. Besides, he doesn't think Atsushi even needs to apologize, but since it always seems easier for Atsushi when En accepts his apologies, he will. ]
[ Atsushi couldn't help but laugh a little at that. It's probably the first time since realizing what he had done under the influence of that amulet that he's felt somewhat relaxed. Atsushi leans forward and rests his forehead against En's shoulder for a moment. ]
[ Now that's a sound he hasn't heard in far too long. When Atsushi leans his forehead against him, En gently pats his head and ruffles his hair affectionately. ]
An "I'm sorry I've been a terrible best friend and I hope you can find it in your big generous heart to forgive me" curry. And if you're thirsty I can make you something to drink.
Hey, I'm a lot to deal with on a daily basis. Even if it was a very... very long week, that's still nothing in comparison to all the crap I've put you through.

[ Gingerly, he pinches his own cheek as if to assure himself that he's not sleeping. ]
No. Are you... feeling better?

[ Atsushi awkwardly stumbled back a little when En came rushing toward him. There was a sheepish smile on his face. ]

Since we're friends, I won't charge you interest.
[ That, and he's not Io. ]
