Was that bitterness that Ryusei detected? He stared at Utahoshi a moment, puzzled, before dropping his gaze to his food. Kisaragi was.... For some reason, Ryusei felt he should defend Kisaragi. Not that the regent-haired idiot needed it. It didn't help that Ryusei got the feeling that Kisaragi would have dragged Utahoshi along anyway if Utahoshi didn't insist on not going. But Utahoshi really had been ill....
Ryusei shoved another bite into his mouth. It didn't lessen his confusion any, but it made sure he couldn't blurt out anything stupid.
What could he say to the revelation that Utahoshi struggled to talk to Ryusei? That wasn't the kind of thing a person said so casually. "It's... I'm...."
That's right, Utahoshi thought Ryusei was upset. That probably accounted for it. They needed to make this relationship work if they were going to work on the Switches together. If nothing else, Kisaragi would bug them until they acted warmer to each other regardless of what they actually felt. It all came down to Kisaragi, didn't it? "It's... okay. Just— Just be honest. I-I guess."
