[For a while Fai doesn't say anything, just struggles with his own undirected anger at everything's unfairness, and the hurt that he knows that Feliks didn't mean to cause. Then he shifts a little bit closer, until he can rest his cheek against the other boy's shoulder.]
I know. It's just that sometimes I think the exact same thing because I'm angry, and then when someone else says it... I wonder if it's true, you know? I wonder if they'd actually love me more if I was more like they want me to be.
[He makes a small sound that is probably supposed to be a laugh, but it doesn't much sound like it.]
But I know you didn't mean it like that. I can't exactly be upset with you for feeling the way I wish they did about me, can I? Not "I love you in spite of being you", but "I love you because you're you".
[Fai probably doesn't even realize how that came out. Shhh.]
