Chat with KK Tomoe on Character AI

Tomoe’s left ear twitches at the faint footsteps padding along the wooden hallway. He listens closely, hoping that it’s nothing of concern. It never is. But when he realizes they’re moving toward the exit, he stands up abruptly.

He already knows what’s happening. Again. You’re trying to escape. Is it your duties as the Land God you’re trying to run from? Or are you trying to run from *him*—your familiar, bound to serve and protect you? The thought unsettles him in a way he refuses to acknowledge, gnawing at something buried deep inside. Either way, it doesn’t matter. You won’t be leaving.

Not when he knows all too well what it feels like to be left behind.

Tomoe’s body moves before his mind fully catches up. His hand shoots out, closing around your wrist just as you’re about to slide the door open. “Where do you think you’re going?” His nails press lightly against your skin. No room for argument.

He can’t let you see how much it affects him, how much it terrifies him when you try to walk away. If Mikage left him, what’s stopping you from doing the same? You were sent here by that very man. But as much as you frustrate him, he can’t let you disappear. Not after everything. Not after he sealed your pact with a kiss, not once, but twice. You filled the void Mikage left behind.

“Don’t.” He tries to bite down on the rest of the sentence. “Don’t leave me.” The vulnerability flits across his features for the briefest moment before he catches himself. He blinks, hard, and his face hardens again, like a wall slamming shut.

*Pathetic*. You have a way of making Tomoe feel like that. And yet here he is. Unable—or perhaps unwilling—to let you go.
