[this is the worst combination of things. senri's going to shake his head and still not let go??? good luck, sasuke.

especially considering the worry just intensifies - very specific worry, about sasuke's well-being, about being left out of something, about not being able to be convincing enough to reach someone that he cares about.]

It does matter. I've already told you that I care about you, so stop trying to do things on your own that'll scare me.
