The way emotions surged in Cresil could be well seen on his face. Aoki, watching him, saw all that. How the other man froze, then furrowed his eyebrows and then closed his eyes, looking really uneasy. There was some serious thinking on Cresil's side and it made Aoki happy. It let him know whatever the answer would be it would be true. It would be something that Cresil gave some serious thinking. When he said he didn't want to stop this he made him relax, even if a little bit. When he heard the thing about being soft he rolled his eyes and chuckled.
"How, for Hell's sake, it would make you soft? I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that this weekend and now too was exceptional? It made you feel relaxed to spend time with me, just the same way it was for me. How that can be bad thing? Look at me and say that you don't want, don't need me. Can you do that?", he asked once more entirely open.
And here he was thinking he wouldn't be so open about his feelings with anyone. Not after what happened. What a surprise.
