[can't help you there!
he turns his head to the side so that he can snicker.]
What are you getting embarrassed for?
[wow, it's nice not to be the flustered one here (though that's mainly because in his amusement, he's temporarily forgotten about the hand-holding).]

[WHY DID THEY JUST SWAP WHO GOT FLUSTERED he's not letting go of white's hand but he is trying to cover his face with his hand]
I'm not embarrassed! [he is]
There's nothing to be embarrassed about...!! It's better if we talked about it, you know?! I'm realizing I said some pretty weird things to you....

[...
oh. well, now white's back to feeling awkward as he remembers that yeah, mineo SURE SAID A LOT OF THINGS THAT WERE KILLING HIM INSIDE.]
Don't remind me!
[he might not have ever planned on telling mineo, let alone expected anything to come out of it, but there is still something horrendous about your crush cluelessly telling you for your own good to go after other people?? and then also naming specific people???]

How was I supposed to know....?!
[HE FEELS BAD ABOUT IT NOW BUT HIS TSUNDERE IS VERY RUSTY HOW WAS HE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHITE WAS INTO HIM
idk everyone else realized but]
Would it - make it weirder if—
[
Hmmmmmmm.
HMMMMMMM HE'S TURNING MORE RED HOW DOES HE TAKE BACK THE FIRST PART OF A SENTENCE]

[after which he covers his face with his hand as if this will hide how flustered he is and as if mineo?? doesn't already know????]
W-Whatever! I can separate my feelings from the job and stuff, but—do whatever you want! Shit, now you're rubbing off onto me!
[NOW HE CAN'T STOP HIS SENTENCE!! AND THAT WAS MAYBE INCREDIBLY UNCONVINCING although white is fairly confident that, like, it won't suddenly cause everything to spiral out of control, given that he's not going to decide that never mind, he doesn't respect mineo's non-answer after all! (if anything, the more likely outcome is mineo deciding that yeah, he's really not into this, gonna reject him on the spot now?)
but there is no way not to respond to this awkwardly aaaaaaaaah]

[oh my god.]
We're not having this conversation here.
[he is just. going to plant his hands on white's shoulders and steer him out of the kitchen because this is literally the worst place to talk about possible kissing or not kissing
he's probably steering white to his room?? yea. endorsi and mahito are hopefully not home it's fine.]

[STOP!!!! it's fine mineo's just gonna head in, look around, and then he gets the loft!! it's nice. so that means they're headed up the stairs into mineo's room. gonna be honest it's surprisingly neat because he barely spends time there but also he didn't make the bed this morning.
and there's probably snackies]
Ah, make yourself at home...
and there's probably snackies]
Ah, make yourself at home...
It felt like a fair question to ask....!!
[and now he looks like he wants to whine about it]
I mean - it's not like... other people don't just... kiss whoever they want to here...
[which he turns more red at? phew.]
I don't really want... your feelings to get in your way or anything...

[ . . . . ]
Um. That's fine. I don't think... anyone really has room to be jealous over much here, even though I know that's... hard....
[ . . . . . . . . . . wow he needs to figure out what to say]
But if... you do need... uh. [wow!!!] .... I wish I could ask more sweetly than this?! This is such a lame way to ask!
[mineo,]

[white shrugs, hands held out and palms facing upwards.]
You're lame. I'd be concerned if you suddenly started acting smooth.
[is white deflecting from the fact that he's not exactly helping right now because he also doesn't know how to discuss this? maybe.]

I can be smooth!!
[WHINING ABOUT IT ISN'T EXACTLY CONVINCING but.... he just frowns as he. also goes to sit on the couch after a second. he tries to clear his head enough to talk about this because it feels important!]
.... do you - want to?
[a beat]
Dating's still off the table - I think that's the case for anybody here who wants to win... and if I were dating somebody, I'd want to be way more serious and sincere about it. I - I'd just want to try harder, and you deserve better than any of these stupid non-answers that I'm stuck giving.
[he wants to acknowledge that, because it's true. white deserves better than this. mineo wishes he could give something better than this, but that's just now how things are set up to work.]
.... but if there's something you want from me, and it could still help you win - I want to give it.
