[And because they don't want to be glared at by some other protective asshole, but shhhh. He knows they mean well, and it's not like they don't drag him along to have fun with them, so he doesn't mind a little bit of stifling. As long as he doesn't feel like he's a burden or in the way, he's happy.
Souji wonders fleetingly if he maybe said something wrong as Kashuu's hand freezes up, and even if he can't see any signs that Kashuu has taken offense in his expression, he only relaxes when the other man speaks again. While there's a suggestion of something being hidden there, it's obviously not anything to be too alarmed about, since Kashuu doesn't mention it - it's probably private, and none of Souji's business. People - particularity Tatsunosuke - have told him before that he needs to not try to get himself involved in other people's business all the time.
He laughs at the question, the noise warm and amused. Reaching out, he absentmindedly brushes away some sand that's ended up on Kashuu's shoulder somehow.] People often say that I'm not very good at judging people's appearance, but... I do think you're very cute! You seem like the kind of person who takes good care of his appearance. [The fussing about his hair had been a clue, and the nails are another.]
aren't you proud of me?
