[he doesn't make a move to break free from mineo's grasp, but he does turn to glare at him, already looking flustered even though mineo hasn't? said anything?]
[his expression just - softens into something gently amused at that]
... I won't say anything if you really think it'll make things harder for you. I don't want to do that. [now that he knows how white feels - and he's still working through his own response]
... but I don't want things to change so much that I hold anything back either.
[this is so funny. mineo's laughing as he lets go of white's wrist and hums thoughtfully about what he wants to say for a second]
Let's see...
I guess you are kind of easy to bully - which is funny coming from me. [a beat] ... but you're easy to talk to. And I think that's one of the reasons why people like you so much. Even if it comes off rude, there's no doubting what you're feeling.
You're honest, and you do your best to help. It's easy to believe in you - even when I thought that I was pretty done believing in people. I trusted you before I even knew it... and that doesn't really happen for me.
[he tilts his head]
I'm happy I've met you, and happy I get more time with you. I think I was so mad today because I was pissed at the idea of that time getting cut short, and losing you. Even if you've done bad things - I like the person I've met here.
So... stick around, okay? I like hanging out with you.
