"I won't," Hakkai promises, leaning over to press a kiss against the crown of Jedao's head. "Just a few plates of things to help balance out the alcohol."
He's not as stressed this time as he's been before. Worried for Jedao, but -- it feels much less unpredictable. He's spoken with Gojyo enough to know that he's grumpy about the situation, but feeling guilty about it in equal measure, and Hakkai thinks that should be enough to make him open up. Hopefully.
It's going to go bad, probably, there's no real pressure on the preparations because perfect preparation can't save it. Instead Jedao can just do them well for their own sake, which is a comforting thing to focus on.
"Okay," Hakkai agrees, squeezes Jedao's hand, and-- just stays where he is, for a long moment, curled protectively around him with his cheek against Jedao's hair.
Maybe it will go bad, but Hakkai wouldn't have suggested it if he didn't think it was more likely to be okay, and -- well, to take advantage of Gojyo feeling guilty before the two of them had fully solidified into pretending-the-other-doesn't-exist. It's a chance, he thinks, that's worth taking.
He hopes he's not going to end up hurting either of them by insisting on it.
