[He's expecting a 'no,' frankly. Whether it's the truth or not, and despite, again, everything that's happened today, he expects Leon to say no. To put that barrier between them and stay here but leave D lonely, still. He'd said he wanted to be the person D can put his trust in— that doesn't necessarily imply that trust goes both ways.
To D's credit, he realizes these expectations are somewhat irrational. Illogical, minimum. Leon wants to stay here... D's made him choose that more than once already, so shouldn't it naturally follow that he trusts him?
He can picture perfectly his father's face, telling him not to trust in humans, but Leon doesn't say no. He blinks, thoughts of his father vanish, and he purses his lips in thought.]
I do believe that was part of what we discussed earlier. [ugh, just say it...] I do.
