he's just doubling over in laughter on the couch now. it's not even mocking in tone—actually, despite the bittersweetness lurking in this situation, it's probably the most sincere and carefree laugh he's had in a long time.]
[that felt good? not that he hasn't laughed plenty of times, but, well. it's different when he does it to feel "normal", as it usually is on some level.
here, it's born from the simple, small part of him that's reminded of how the world isn't always so bad after all.]
I said you're doing fine, and I'm never wrong, so! Stop stressing over it.
[hrrmmmmm he's pouting a bit still at that, unsure. now he's going to wonder if he's a bad kisser for like a week. but rules of otome suggest he is not so.
just going to look away before looking back]
... fine... If you say so.
Ahh, I don't even know what I'm doing! This place really throws everything off....!
[the anxious part of white wonders if that's mineo regretting the kiss already, but he feels like it's better not to let that show, so. he just shrugs.]
Then just forget about it. You're going to give yourself a headache with all that worrying.
[honestly, people caring still feels like a borderline foreign concept—one he barely knows how to deal with platonically, never mind with other factors mixed in.
it's that awkwardness, the mix of kneejerk discomfort and warmth, that has white look away.]

It involves you and how you feel.
Of course I'm gonna worry.
no subject
You really don't need to worry about me that much.
no subject
.... maybe worry's a bad word.
[he rubs his neck awkwardly.]
I just care. You get that, right? Even if it's hard to figure out everything else right now.... I do care about you.
[and he's not too emotionally constipated to admit it]
