It's totally unfair of you.
[ But she says it lightly, glancing at their hands in a pensive moment-- before she tilts her head invitingly. He can lean on her. ]
But unfair or not, I'm really glad that you have.
[ Because it meant that, even while he was fighting against himself, even after he'd been hurt so much by his own friends, he'd still wanted to be her friend. This wasn't as one-sided as she'd been concerned about. ]
Besides, you were stuck with me when you said 'yes' to the whole training thing, so friendship just makes the deal easier for you.

That's a LOT of names Mention someone and I'll tell you yes or no? :D
I only know Ai from those... Do you want to invite them? Go ahead! I don't mind at all. The more, the merrier!
[That little tilt of her head is all he needs to lean over, against her, their shoulders touching before he slumps a little further and rests his head against her shoulder. He can feel a little of her hair brushing against him, ticklish but comfortable.
His eyes close. He's relieved. It finally feels like something's unwound. And despite what he's told her, Yang still wants to be friends with him. He exhales a soft laugh.]
I'm okay with being stuck with you. [He's decided.] But, at this rate, you're really gonna wind up stuck with me.
[reciprocal being stuck with each other...]

Is that a threat or a promise?
[ She won't laugh, but the smile's present in her voice, and she cants her head ever so slightly to rest against his. She can't sense emotions like he can, but it feels as though some tension's drained out of him. Like he's finally, truly relaxed.
So in the end, she was able to do something for him? She hopes that's the case. ]

Mmmm-- [Naoki pretends like he has to think about it.] A bit of both?
[He's going to stop doubting, he says to himself, finally he's going to stop. Even if it's frightening, he doesn't want to lose this. It's... been a while since he thought about something like that, especially about a friend.
Naoki's cheek rubs a little to Yang's shoulder as he settles in some more.]

Well-- [ Spoken with a bit of a sigh. ] If it's a threat, you're going to have to do a lot better. And if it's a promise, then I definitely want you to keep it.
[ Yang holds still, though-- which could be a bit of an oddity, considering how she's usually on the move, but even she can be patient. And this isn't exactly unpleasant. ]

[Naoki just smiles at that.] ...I'll keep 'em both in mind.
[And then his eyes close. She's staying so still. Is this comfortable for her? Her head resting on his is pleasant... Inane thoughts like this drag through his head and he pushes back against a persistent tiredness, the kind of tired that comes when you've finally been able to solve something worrying you.]
I don't like breaking promises anyway.

[ HERE'S HER ADDRESS ]
Tell them that they are SUPER welcome to come over!
Tell them that they are SUPER welcome to come over!
[Again-- she's saying those kinds of things that burrow deep. Warm. He's going to try his best to believe it. Yang will feel his fingers tightening slightly with hers.]
...Thanks.
Also for, y'know. [More amused--] Being considerate of my personal guy stuff.
...Thanks.

[But he feels grateful, but how do you say that he's glad not to be left alone without it sounding either 1) too vulnerable or 2) calling on sadder past experiences? It's tricky. So he'll just hum.]
Hm-- I'm still just as happy to hear it now.
[He seems to come back to himself when she pats his back, opening his eyes and tipping his head to glance at her face.]
