[yusuke can't hide his surprise at the sudden force of ren burying his face in his chest, and he's uncertain how to respond, his hands hovering awkwardly in midair. he doesn't want to hug him back because it'll ruin the paint, but he wants to comfort him somehow... so he holds the back of ren's head and pets his hair.
there's a part of him that wants to tilt ren's face up and say it can be and show him the depth of his feelings, make it clear how close yusuke wants ren to be--but even he knows that's not what ren needs right now, and it would be an entirely selfish act on yusuke's part.]
I... don't wish to cause you any distress like this. I'm sorry if my words had the opposite intended effect.
