As long as we're clear...
[Even after so many decades, it feels a little odd sometimes - pushing even this much. Putting down his own demands toward his brother.
But he knows it's for the best that he can; with what he realized on that island, all he's figured out since then... he can't very well just leave Chobe to his own devices, to accept whatever harm may come his way and keep Toma out of it.]
no subject
[Meanwhile, Chobe LOVES that he's making demands. Yes! YES. More independence for his baby brother who he will crash out for if he's separated from!! This is not a contradiction in any way whatsoever! ]
no subject
...Yes. [Now, this one he doesn't really know if he can expect from Chobe of all people, but: He pushes himself up on an elbow, looking Chobe directly in the eye.] If you discover, or even suspect, that someone who may have enough power to kill you has fire Tao, let me handle them. Don't risk it yourself.
[It's not something they've had to think about in some time, but... Chobe has described the destructive power some of these other "guests" are packing. It's not like dealing with other mobsters, Englishmen, everyday humans armed with pistols that can barely slow them down.
Toma will not watch his brother die again.]

Chobe's turn to pout, though it's more of a thin frown, eye narrowing slightly. He's fine with Toma having his back--he's his second set of eyes, his extra pair of arms. But putting him in the literal line of fire due to his own weakness? That hurts.
And also hilarious timing given he's heckling Bakugo right now, and Esikko is tight with Dabi.
He's silent for a few moments, mulling it over, playing over dozens of scenarios in his head for the best answer, before he finally exhales. He told Toma to make demands, and. This is what he wants, huh?
He rolls over on his back, hands behind his head.]
Alright. Won't be necessary, but I hear ya loud and clear.
no subject
Because it makes the most sense, doesn't it? By definition, someone who could kill Chobe couldn't kill Toma. What was the point of everything they went through, if they don't make use of that? There's no reason, anymore, for Toma to hide behind his brother. There's no excuse, certainly not in a scenario where Chobe would objectively be at more risk.
Toma's face lights up when Chobe agrees - despite his brother's open sulking. Frankly, it's kind of cute, in Toma's opinion; it's not often that even he gets to see that!
He drops back down on the bed, slipping one arm under Chobe's shoulders and flopping the other over him.]
Thank you.

Hah. Thoughts for later. He'll keep his word, to the best of his ability though. He's got a silver tongue, and would lie to anyone at the drop of a dime but. . .not him. Not Toma. ]
Anything for you, Toma.
[What if they just stay like this. At least until their watches start squawking to get back to game time. ]
no subject
And that's one more bit of security - a tiny reduction to the already-small chance of something lasting happening to Chobe.
He answers with a quiet, appreciative hum, closing his eyes as he rests his head against his brother's shoulder. He is more than happy to stay put - for however long Chirpy will tolerate it.]
