He wanted to be angry, really angry like before and chew the bastard right the fuck out, but...Seeing Luke look so unsure, practically squirming on the spot, threw water on his fire and Mao was left with nothing to hide behind.

He winced before forcing out the word, making a face like just saying it left a bad taste on his tongue, "...like you?" He breathed out a long sigh, covering his face with a hand in a weary gesture. "...Its a big deal to me."
