[ Silent and patient, Kuro watches Leo's face as he listens to him explain his entire situation with Miai. He's known that Leo knew him, but it was only in recent observation that he's pieced out that Leo knew him. It's put things into context for him, the more he's seen in the group chat and on Retrospec and just in person.
(He thinks of the auction, and it's the situation they're in right now that keeps him from snorting incredulously at the memory, Jesus - )
But the only sign of judgement is a tick of his eyebrow upwards, his fingertips tapping gently against the back of Leo's skull as if he's weighing the merit of saying something scolding.
In the end, he doesn't. Not really. ]
Your heart's bigger'n people realize. I figured that out pretty early on that you're fast to love, 'n you love deeply, even when it's not in love. [ With him. With Nazuna. Hell, even Tsukasa. Leo breaks off pieces of his heart and gives them readily, in some cases, and it scares him - how deeply he loves is also as harshly as he's bound to get hurt if he doesn't take care.
Here they are, with heartache and an emotional affair that Leo is neck-deep in. ]
We all do shit that's young 'n stupid, though. Preachin' to the choir there. But if you know what you're doin', or at least you guys've talked about how things went, how they could go, then it's... not okay, but there's somethin' there that's better'n what you had before, and it could be okay. 'cause you've actually talked about it.
'n Nazuna... [ A tender subject. Despite the feelings he's had for Nazuna - you'd think he'd get over them after a decade of being ghosted, right? that really worked out - he was happy for them dating. They're two of his favorite people, his most important, beaten out only by his sister, and they deserved happiness. Whether it was with each other or not.
He's not happy for them having broken up, because their hearts are both big and giving. He can imagine that there's guilt on both sides. ]
Maybe you can have the same chance with Nazuna you've got with Garyuu. But there's nothin' wrong with steppin' back when you've got so much goin' on in that heart 'n head of yours. [ One hand draws back, to rap the back of his knuckles gently against Leo's forehead. ]
