[ Well that's almost concerning. He's never seen Sanji not react to being poked. Enough that Yusuke twists himself around a little so that he can see Sanji's face properly.

But his concern softens into comprehension when Sanji speaks up again. Thinking about it, there are a lot of things he doesn't know about his boyfriend. It doesn't concern him too much, as everyone has a right to their own privacy, but it does mean he's seen that almost panic-loop he gets himself into about situations that require opening up and putting parts of yourself that even you are afraid of or worried about out in the open. The silence and the lack of reaction make a lot of sense, if this was the topic Sanji was trying to bring up. ]

That depends on if you want to as well. I did write it down rather than just tell you for a reason.

[ It's. Well, it's true. He's one hundred per cent certain Sanji would have bolted, even if it was only temporarily, if he'd just told him out of the blue. And maybe it had been selfish of him, but he hadn't wanted to see that happen.

Nor does he really want to see it happen now. ]

But I think I said what I wanted to say well enough.
