[Faize hadn't expected Hinata to answer immediately. He'd ended up dumping quite the speech on him, after all. So it would be only natural for the other boy to take a few minutes to take it all in and process. So the silence, Faize wholly expected.]

[The tears on the other hand...not so much. That is not what he was aiming for at all, and since Hinata still has his face in his hands, Faize can't actually tell what kind of tears these are.]

[...shit.]

[Hinata, he literally just gone done telling you that he wishes he had your ability to comfort others. He has no idea what he's supposed to do here.]

U-uhmm... [HOW DOES HE MAKE THE TEARS STOP? This is different than when Alisha came and cried on him a few weeks back. That wasn't his fault. He could just give her a tissue and say a few reassuring things and bam, problem solved.] I-It was not my intent to upset you further. But as I said, this is not an area in which I excel, so if you would prefer to speak to...someone else...

[Fuck, anybody would be a better option than Faize here.]

Or even if you would just prefer to be alone, that is perfectly understandable as well, and I will leave without another word.
