[It's funny because he does not see the smooch coming at all, he barely has time to consider the words before it's happening. But almost as soon as it's done Fukuzawa stands up straight and covers the bottom of his face with his hand because he is a mix of several thoughts and feelings and doesn't want anyone to see.]
Eiden. Even if I weren't the worst person about these sorts of things, I'm nearly twice your age.
[There's the secret: Fukuzawa is awful at romance. The rumors on his profile are true.]

[It's not bad, exactly, Fukuzawa isn't mad at him or anything. Feelings are feelings, he would never admonish someone for their feelings. Being the object of those feelings, however, makes him feel embarrassed and insecure. A small part of him feels happy, but that part is overridden by negative thoughts.]
I don't pick partners well, and I drive away anyone who gets close. I'm...I can't be what you need. I'm sorry.
[Also, going unsaid: he's afraid of fucking things up again. His fear is stronger than red string magic this time.]

...alright. If it's just your feelings, then that will be fine.
[He's still struggling a bit but he can't be mad at how someone feels. As long as nothing is expected of him, then this will be fine. Probably.
He sees the hovering though, so he sighs.]
You can stay, it's fine. I'm not mad.
[That, at least, is a genuine feeling. No red strings attached. Watch him dodge the question about why he's pushing people away though.]
