[ Up until now, Izō had been the one telling people he loved them. He'd finally said it to both Majima and Emily. Their reactions were one of the warmest memories he had in this place. Being on the other side of it is...strange.
He should've seen it coming and yet found himself blindsided. His heart twists, his stomach is in knots. Storming out feels like the best option once again. He can't just default to that. Ryouma really laid himself bare here and it'd be unfair to him.
Izō stays quiet for awhile, making it seem like this backfired. ]
That so...? [ He can't look at Ryouma, can't make himself see that stupid face he knows he's making. It takes a minute, but he does eventually look up, blushing like crazy. ] Guess I'm jus' gonna have t' get t' hearin' that from ya now, huh?
