[He closes his eyes for a second, maybe thinking about running to Japan right freaking now just to be with him for a few hours. He doesn't want to hang up, and he knows if he doesn't, he'll never be able to. Maybe tears well up in his eyes because he's just a little frustrated at himself, because he doesn't want Nico on Xi Wang's shit list. The last thing he wants is to jeopardize Nico's chances in Zangyaku by being stupidly clingy.]
Yeah, um... I gotta... I should probably get some sleep too. Never know when I might get called out on an Engagement.
[He's fighting to keep his voice from breaking now, because this is what they both want: to be Hunters, and really fucking good ones too. Him in the Brotherhood and Nico in Zangyaku. They'd talked about this time and again over the years, but back then, it had been Netsach for Kaz.]

[...and I miss you. Don't get hurt too badly. And he ends the call before it gets to be too much. He drops the phone on his bed and maybe he sobs just a little bit, before getting up and digging an open pack of Nico's cigarettes out (which he may or may not have stolen from the other boy's pockets during their time in Japan)and lighting up. The smell of cloves hangs in the room. This once, he doesn't open a window like he normally would, wanting to just drift in it.]
