[ Miyuki is thoroughly confused, without even a guess anymore as to why the other boy seems so despondent. He didn't want to be touched, so Miyuki stopped. Though he very much didn't appreciate the way the younger boy sought to tell him so, it was only that which made him upset. He's not about to force touch on the other boy for no good reason.
Was it really the bite? The teasing? He thought that was a good sign, not... His hand falls away and Alois may not be looking at him but Miyuki's watching his face, trying to make sense of it. He keeps his body open for him to do as he will, sensations of the other boy's hand mere background noise under Miyuki's thoughts. There is the urge to grab at Alois' face again, not to playfully pinch but to make him meet his eye and set him straight. But he doesn't actually know what the problem is to begin fixing it. ]
... Sure. Whatever you want, sweetheart.
[ There is no bite, just a bit of resignation. Maybe he just needs time to gather himself, and Miyuki should wait it out.
He doesn't quite realize yet that his touching the boy was indeed a reflex, but one of camaraderie. To tell the other boy that he's with him, that even though he's not being instructed to do anything he'll do what he can to make it easier for Alois, that he can accept and handle what he's being made to do, that he's here. He doesn't entirely comprehend what he's telling himself, when he says to make sure not to do that anymore, if it upsets Alois. ]
