“… I-, might just decide to give in.. since well, from the sounds of it you don’t like the idea of hearing explosions..”

He flinched at that
“… Or.. even the word-..”
"I-It's...not that-"
“.. Then, what is it..?”
"N-.....nothing. I-I'm sorry..."

Shoto slowly placed his hand on his cheek, tilting his head to the side so he would be looking at him, staring into his green gorgeous eyes..
“.. Please, ..tell me what’s wrong..”
"Hf..."
His cheeks flushed, lips parting.
“… I lost my brother, because I never checked up on him.. when j should’ve.. I knew something could’ve been wrong.. I don’t want that same mistake to happen to him.. so please.. just this once, tell me how you actually feel..?”
