[Boss felt that shiver and felt a comfort knowing Kaz might actually be enjoying their close proximity like he used to. It was a long shot but Snake wanted to hold onto any positive emotion coming from the man he loved.]

I..I don't know.

[How the hell could he answer that? He didn't even know himself. He'd fucked up and wanted to put things right, but how? He couldn't afford to lose Kaz again. At the blond's words the toughened warlord sighed and closed his eye. He could feel Kaz's anger so close to his heart but didn't move away.]

There's always a point to living, Kaz. That much I know. Dying is overrated anyway. Whatever happens I won't lose you again. I can't afford to. I fucked up once and I'm not going to fuck up again.
