[ After a moment, Mamoru releases a breath he didn't even realise he was holding in after hearing that declaration.
It's said so simply. So easily. Like Kaito doesn't even think much of it. And while there's a lot that could be said about Kaito (and even though Mamoru would defend him to death unless he really fucked up), Mamoru knows Kaito would never hurt him on purpose. He would never be that malicious.
So he does figure that it's probably just that Kaito never noticed. He doubts his best friend would have left him alone if he noticed and knew he was suffering that much, anyway. ]
Kaito..
[ There's a slight hint of exasperation in it, but it's gone before it's even fully there, and Mamoru continues in the most direct way - the only way he knows he can get this through to him. ]
I.. like Kiraki. No, I love her. [ That much is clear now he's talked it over with her instead of staying stupidly oblivious, anyway. ] So don't treat her badly, alright..? She's not a bad person.
