[ He didn't say anything bad, but that doesn't mean he said anything good, either. Tsukasa'll let her take both of them, though he stares at them for a moment and tries not to blush at when I am with you, you should have my attention, yes? ]

You haven't made me sad, don't worry. [ A little... confused and uncertain—it's hard navigating things with people his own age, when he has someone like Hinata around, who straight up doesn't think about sad things. Who thinks he should be happy as long as the people he likes are happy, that he shouldn't be sad if his love's ever unrequited.

(Tsukasa doesn't know it yet, but he has a disconcerting amount of people in his life like that.)

And Mafuyu, too—who also bulldozes, who doesn't let things get her down... who cries when she's denied fun, even though she did it to herself. And there's Anya, lovely Anya, who shines like stars, who he can't imagine doing anything but ignoring unfair words. Maybe that's unfair of him, really.

...He shakes his head again and, a little more firmly: ] You didn't. I promise, okay? And... if you really want to stay, then we can stay. I do want to dance with you again... It might be a little weird on ice, but I think it's not as hard as it seems.
