Smart as hell in battle - you think real quick on your feet about who to heal and when to heal. But you’re also the same dummy who thinks I can do better than you.
[A small frown creases his brow, and he opens his eyes again, not quite meeting Akira's gaze even with such close proximity.]
...Just don't come to regret it.
I think... even if you left me for someone else... If you were happy, I could accept that. But if you felt like you had to stay by my side, to the point of resentment...
… That would hurt me, too. Yoshi… don’t look away, please.
[ … ]
I’m not that great of a guy. I can’t say the same. If anyone else looked at you and knew you more than me, I’d hate it. If anyone else - guy or girl - thought they could love you more than me, I’d wouldn’t be able to stand it. I wouldn’t be able to accept it.
I’m not - not selfless. I’m greedy. You might resent me instead actually.
[He can't be certain Akira will want to stay with him, can't be certain he won't do something harebrained enough to ruin everything all over again, but-
He can be certain he'd never, ever resent the other boy's choice.]

True and accurate.

You are. And I will. I’m already the best at loving you, don’t you think? Maybe that’ll be the one thing I do best in life. Not a bad goal.

I'd never resent you.
