Andre didn't mind the tightening grip on his jacket, his mind now focusing on just assuring Pain that nothing was going to drag the hunter away from him. His expression of stone started to falter as his eyes widened at Pain's words. The hunter still didn't know how he could be deserving of someone actually caring for him in any manner as he accepted the kiss with a blush. he kissed back, his crooked smile coming to his lips for a moment.

"I love you too..."

The words were sincere as he kissed the top of Pain's head, seeming to go stiff and still when he saw a van pull up. His face quickly turned to stone as one of his aunts made to show her face, her eyes rather shocked that Andre could show some form of care. She moved pasted them though and into the shop, greeting Vincent and Dahlia warmly before starting to move Vincent and his belongings into the van. Andre just didn't want to let go just yet.

He smiled at the others words and closed his eyes. It wasn't until a van pulled up did he look up and saw it was Andres aunt. So this was his ride? He just looked at it and hide his face in the others chest, not wanting to let go. He didnt want to leave, he wanted to stay with Andre and just looked up at the other with sad eyes, as if pleading with Andre to change his mind.

Andre could see the pleading looking Pain's eyes, ignoring the fact that Vincent was going into this ordeal crying and looking to be having a tantrum. Andre just held the dancer tighter for the longest moment as Dahlia had went and grabbed Pain's bag from inside and loaded into the van, Vincent now sitting in his seat silently sobbing. Andre ran a hand through Pain's hair, his eyes very much sad but face stone.

"You have to get going Pain...you'll be safe...."

He unwrapped his arms from around the dancer, leading him to the van where his aunts were waiting for them. He kept the door open for the dancer, not wanting this to be something he had to do but it just had to be done, for Pain's sake.

Pain didnt look up either at the sound of Vincent sobbing and throwing a tantrum. He probably didnt want to leave his special someone either and he wonder who this special person was and why they weren't here to see Vincnet off. He put the thoughts of his mind and focus now on Andre and himself. He felt Andre leave him and went to open the door, he just stared at it for a moment and slowly walked over to the open door.

He gave Andre and deep and somewhat long kiss before getting into the car and started to silently sob as well. He couldn't look at Andre at the moment and just hide his face in his hands.

Andre could tell this was still a struggle for the both of them. His face was like stone as he watched Pain just stare at the open van door for a moment before walking up. Andre was possibly expecting swearing or tears of some kind, but took the long and rather powerful kiss given to him as a better outcome. He couldn't look at Pain as he saw the dancer start to cry, keeping his eyes to the ground as he closed the door. His aunts said their own goodbyes and assured that both boys would be safe before driving off, Andre just staring as they left. Dahlia chose this as a moment to put an arm around the hunter's shoulder, her own face stone but mascara stained tears running down her face.
"We'll bring them home, they're in the safest place possible. From this battle, from the Ashwoods, let's finish this and bring them back."
Andre couldn't help to agree with her but made no sound, only pulling away from her and getting into his own car, letting a single tear roll down his stony expression as he made his way to meet up with the other hunters for this battle.
