[ the dam is about to burst, and shylock is here to take the full brunt of it. he won't force hizen to do anything he doesn't want to though, even if he's already pushed the poor sword to his limits already. so he starts with massaging his fingers in hizen's hair, making soothing circles in his scalp as he leans down to console him in the gentlest voice he can muster.
shylock's heard all of this before. from chloe, most especially, prone to tears as he is due to his abusive upbringing that had left him bereft of love and attention. that's what hizen's going through right now as well -- as a killer's sword, there was no room for love in his line of work. of course he wants to love and be loved. it's only natural, even for a weapon being given corporeal form and not knowing what to do with its newfound feelings. ]
Hizen. That's not true, and you know it. If anything, you're so aware of it that you do not know what to do with it.
[ simple as that. ]
The favor you made for all of us in town after that catastrophe, followed by the countless praises you'd received on the network -- that's more than enough proof that you're loved from all over. Moreover... you mentioned that Mr. Izou would fix you over and over just to keep using you over every weapon he had. That, too, is a form of love.
[ he gently presses his hand onto hizen's chest, where his heart is beating under his palm. ]
You may deny it as many times as you like, but you are so loved, Hizen. Some people choose to express it in roundabout ways, just as how you chose to express yours as well. And I'm sure... those two men have loved you too, in their own way.
