[ Tim too. Tim was also there waiting on Shouto to wake up, as Allen was afraid he might when he had to leave on excursions to Riteor's city and the Other World. Omnis couldn't be relied on, and when he stopped to realize how that might feel, waking up in the house alone after what had happened before without being sure why Allen was gone for what might be a long period of time... well, leaving Tim was the only certain message he felt like he could.

Also, someone had to feed the koi. And Tim's always been rather gleeful about it. ]

I did. [ The answer is gentle and serene, the admission coming easily to him even if it isn't something he's said out loud before. ]

Every day. At first because even though I missed you so much when it became apparent it was going to take a while... I wasn't really lonely either. Because I could still feel like you were present here. Because it's our home.

[ He hums lightly in thought, finding himself in the serenity of his own feelings and solidifying them there, as his lips curve faintly in a smile. ]

And when Fushiguro and I were cold and miserable out there, when it started to feel bleak... the thing that made me smile and feel less anxious was thinking of coming back here. Seeing you and Tim. The koi too, and Kizu.

[ He squeezes his hand gently then. In affection, but also light apology. ]

I was just so happy to finally see you that I never got to really say any of that properly.
