[ This time there's no need to think about his response when he feels Allen tense in his arms. There's heat on his lower back where his palm rubs a small circle to ease the tension in his muscles.
Nea talked about a lot of things. Most he didn't understand in context. All left him with more questions than answers, but he asked about none, recognizing the ill-intent behind his words. Did he have questions? Yes, many. Would he ever voice them? No. Like his unease with Allen speaking with Touya. It was a feeling he couldn't deny but paled in comparison to more prominent feelings. Besides, the idea that Allen might avoid his brother because of him was more abhorrent to him than the unease he felt. It was the same feeling with Nea. The idea that Allen might feel uneasy around him for what he knew about his past was abhorrent to him.
He didn't 'just talk', he attacked him. But that wasn't what stayed him. It was the way he seemed to keep Allen at bay that struck him to his core. To know there was someone who could smother him very being was too familiar to his own fears of smothering him with his feelings. It got under his skin, and he'd made a mistake, giving Nea a chance to attack him. If Allen wanted to know more, if he asked him more, then he'd tell him. For now, he keeps adding heat to ease the tension. ]
