he lifts a hand up and just swats at the back of sasuke's head — more to ruffle his hair than make actual impact. )
Sasuke, I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. There's no such thing as a perfectly sane, healthy, well-adjusted adult. We are all fucked up in one way or another. But kids are resilient, and you have so much love to give — you'll learn the rest. You might mess them up, sure. But you might not. And isn't that worth trying?
( he nests closer, wrapping himself around sasuke in a way that leaves no space between their bodies. )
You know, in the last world I was from, an eighteen year old is barely even considered an adult in most cultures. For the most part, they aren't expected to have their shit together or know what they want to do with their lives, or have even picked or started a career path yet. Your world puts an incredible amount of pressure and strain on people far too young, and I know it's hard to set that aside — but you can, here. I'll help you.
