[He's so confused. And alarmed. Crow crying is something he never contemplated. Of course every instinct says he wants to hold Crow and comfort him for whatever is making him cry... But is that appropriate now?

He reaches up and catches the hand pinching his cheek, curls his fingers around Crow's and leans his head forward, enough to thunk gently against Crow's forehead. This is more intimate than friendship but it's also not kissing Crow and hugging him until the tears stop, so it's his best compromise.]

I'm never going to stop chasing you. You should know that by now.

[He says it gently, looking at Crow from way too close. It's hard. He so so badly wants to hold him, but he just squeezes his hand instead.]

So if you get that you're never getting rid of me, let me help. At least help me understand.

[His words are gentle but firm. He's here, he isn't going anywhere, Crow might as well fill him in on what's bad enough to make Crow cry? And then Rean can punch whatever it is in the face or solve it or talk it out or whatever they need to do. He just so badly wants to help fix this. It doesn't even matter any more if Crow is dumping him, as long as he can make Crow actually happy, and not this sad miserable mess in front of him.]
