He hates Leo SO MUCH BECAUSE why does he always pick the worst possible times to actually be perceptive? To actually pick up on what Tsukasa's putting down instead of sort of just ignoring everything and doing everything on his own??? why, WHY. leaning against him as he is, he probably feels when Tsukasa stiffens up and turns away abruptly like the snotty little brat he is and insists]
Not like that!
[okay but
yes, like that
HE'S EMBARRASSED, LEAVE HIM ALONE but he's not sure what to do??? He tends to keep these sort of things to himself or confides strictly to those who wouldn't tell like Anzu but. BUT
APPARENTLY SHAMELESS LYRIC WRITING LEADS HIM TO THIS AND to thinking about how much he actually respects the leader who composed the song for him in the first place. Who thought of him and treasured him enough to think that he deserved something of his own to wield as an idol.... isn't that some sort of validation? Isn't that the sort of attention that he craves?
not that he wants Leo's attention specifically
(probably)
ugh]
I... It's - It's really pig-headed of you to think that it's strictly about you, you know!! I recognize that I am the weakest link among Knights and so - so I wish to improve alongside everyone, to learn from all my seniors, is all...!!
[ . . . but. It's not. Good to lie, is it? So even though it's the truth, it's not the whole truth... He's definitely still not looking at Leo but. It wouldn't feel right to act like Leo was completely off.]
... But also -
You are our King whom we serve... and even though you are pig-headed and infuriating and idiotic at times, it is not as though I can completely hate you... I spent a long time looking for you, you know? As such, it's only fair to spend just as long a time getting to know you. Even if I am outclassed and unpolished, I still... wish to serve.
