[confusion and worry crosses yusuke's face--not that ren can see his expression right now. he withdraws his hand with a realization of i've upset him and mixes the paint on his pallet some more so that his hands don't keep wandering.]

... I am sorry. I spoke without thinking.

[ren could never hurt him. or rather, ren could never do something to make yusuke want to leave him--yusuke believes that. so even if he breaks down, yusuke wouldn't turn him away. he's not afraid of ren's feelings, whatever they are.]

I only... want you to know that I will never judge you for feeling the way you feel.

It's fine.

[ It has to be. Ren's not going to get through the next couple days if it isn't. Even if it doesn't feel like it right now, if Ren can't find it in him to be fine with how things are then he's in a lot more trouble than he thought.

Breaking down in front of someone he likes didn't turn out well the first time. He doesn't want to try a second. ]

...Just leave it.

As you wish.

[yusuke wants to ask, wants to tell ren that he shouldn't hide his feelings, not from him, and for a moment he opens his mouth to say it--and has to stop himself. not right now. no, you'll only look desperate. he bites his lip to keep himself from saying anything further, and focuses on his painting.]
