"You care for me, you understand me, you love me. How can you not be a hero to me?" He keeps moving his fingers through the older man's hair, taking deep breaths to try to get Shang Beida to calm down a little. "I don't think emotions or... whatever this is - trauma? - cares about whether or not you want to get things done or not or whether or not you're ready for it or whether or not it's a convenient time. I think it just happens."
He pulls back so he can look Shang Beida in the eyes, his gaze calm and soft. "You know that I'd never hurt you on purpose. I know you'd never hurt me on purpose either. ... So it's okay. You don't have to be strong all the time. You can be... you can just be you, with all of the emotions and baggage that you have with you."
