[He... does want that? He thought he was saying nonsense, or sounding stupid, and that D would look at him with one of his usual smiles and everything would go back to how it was before. Instead, his heart beats faster and his cheeks heat up a bit. He's looking at D, and he's suddenly aware of how he looks. That look is nervous? So he must be genuine. This isn't just him messing with him.

He swallows back his nervousness. Could he really break through with D? Does that go against everything he's been doing trying to bring him justice? Maybe justice isn't what he needs. Maybe it doesn't solve everything...

Ugh!! Impulsively, he reaches over and claps one of his hands over D's in his lap. He shouldn't be that nervous asking someone for god damn company! What did his family teach him?!]

I'm here, aren't I? Maybe I don't notice everything, and there's still a lot I don't get, but I'll smack that smile off your face any day!

[...Well, the emotion behind it is well-meaning and cute.]
