Mmm... [He turns over, laying on his side rather than his chest across Shuichi's lap. Not really so that he can look at the other boy, since he just kind of focuses off at some other part of his cabin, but he does steal a glance at him as he starts talking.]
I guess I can answer that at least. I like cuddling with both of you, but sometimes I'd prefer to cuddle with one of you over the other, depending on the situation. Akamatsu-chan...she wants to talk about these things. She wants to help, and it's nice, but I don't want to talk about some of them. Sometimes all I want is to be cuddled and to feel safe and get over it that way instead.
[So Shuichi's guess was correct, though he has the nightmare wrong.]
Though most of the time when I feel that way I just sit at home and deal with it instead. [This is the first time he's snuck into bed with him over a nightmare.] But that's why it's nice to go to you alone...you won't push unless you think you can actually get me to talk, and even if you did manage I'd at least have the comfort of knowing I wasn't disturbing Akamatsu-chan with it... She says she can handle nightmares about the trials and executions and stuff, just because she saw them in those ornaments, but...these are different. And...well. Admittedly, of the two of you, I kind of feel safer with you. No offense to Akamatsu-chan, but I know you better than I do her still.
[And now he shifts onto his back, looking up at Shuichi.]
Likewise, there are nightmares I don't really want to talk to you about. Not that I don't trust you with those too but you just don't need to hear about them. So I'd feel more comfortable going to just Akamatsu-chan with them...and those ones I do want to talk about usually...
[He thinks about this a little more, humming to himself.]
