[ He's not going to open this can of worms any further, really. Laying his insecurities flat out on the table, looking vulnerable in front of Rei... that's not happening anytime soon. Not if he can help it, that is. They'll live together and lean on each other, but he's not going to become a burden — to let others see and hold hands with the fatal softness in his heart. ]
Right, right. Well, if I catch our angry little duckling waddling off the path...
[ Waddling far, it seems, given the answers he's getting and the mistakes he's making on the other end. ]
... I'll try to push him back into the river? Not that he's going to let me or anything, given the way he's always snapping at me the moment our eyes lock, but it won't hurt to give it a try in person, I guess~.
( for all the mistakes kaoru's making, rei's demeanor, croissant-like as it is, is one of someone who seems comfortable in believing kaoru will keep his word on the matter. kaoru is breezy, but not heartless; he'd trust kaoru would look after koga when asked, even if he might stumble doing it. rei can't say he's much better— he's always stumbling with koga, despite his better intentions. )
The cruelest thing a person can offer is indifference. That he snaps so vibrantly at you speaks to how vibrantly he feels toward you, yes? You've left undeniable mark on his heart, whether he knows it or not . . . Ah, should I have warned you for that?
( teasingly; sorry for the not so heterosexual words, kaoru-kun. )
Well, I'll take care to talk to him as well, when I meet him. Perhaps he's just a little pent up . . . ? I haven't disciplined him in a good while, after all.
