[ If he didn't say it, who else would? Jun wants to be 100% certain they're on the same page, even though he's usually avoidant about his feelings. They could tip-toe about what they meant forever, or Jun could get over it and say what he meant.

But even then, he can't stop talking. Because what if that's not what Hiyori wants? There's no indication he doesn't, which is only Jun's fear taking hold again. Sometimes he can't figure out what Hiyori wants, and in this case, he has been skirting around the topic.

Perhaps if Jun knew how to put it into better words, it wouldn't come out clumsy and "boorish-sounding." He's not the type to eloquently string together words, it's only that he's avoiding using simple ones. ]

Well, I never know with you. I just wanted to make sure we were thinking the same, Ohii-san, 'cause I didn't wanna make an idiot outta myself.

[ He laughs, despite being chided. Thankfully he can tell Hiyori isn't mad, and he feels better for getting to the point. At least one of them did! His cheeks burn, half looking up as he nods. ]

It makes me feel better hearing that, y'know? I'm still learning, but I want Ohii-san to feel good. I wanna remember the way you look forever ♪ And I'm gonna do my best tonight for ya, too.
