[Small pause. It is a little strange for him to make the first move...usually it's other people. But sometimes Shizuo sees parts of himself in Disciple—no, Kazuma now—and that lets him take those awkward steps that he normally doesn't recognize or try to take.]
At least that's how I see you as. If it's a bother to you, though...
[He'd feel a little disappointed, but he could understand.]
For me, anyway. [Another small shrug before he looks back at the model of the city.] I don't really make a lot of friends often...but what's important to me is being able to trust them.
. . . [There's that T word again. He frowns, remembering when he told Shizuo he needed more time to give him an answer on that.]
I appreciate knowing that, but I don't know if I'm ready to say the same back, not when I have doubts about myself. Still...if I am able, you can depend on me to support you, as a friend. [That's a better answer than before. He is not shying away at the idea at least.]
...Well, I do have a few larger pieces that need to be cut into smaller ones. [There's a warm, reassuring smile on his face.] I would appreciate the company, regardless.
It will be fine. I...have faith you can handle this. [It's rather foreign to him to genuinely express this kind of confidence in someone else. And yet it felt...familiar, right.]
Even if something breaks, these things can be repaired and replaced.

[Hum.]
You're not a bad a guy and we get along all right. And you put up with my bullshit and helped me out a few times, so.
[Small shrug.]
Don't really need a lot of reasons.

It's really that simple, huh? [Maybe that's just how Shizuo was. Don't complicate things, maybe that's why he appreciates his company.]

[He looks back over at Kazuma.]
And I trust you.

I know, and that's fine. You got your own circumstances. But wanted you to know all the same, and if you ever need anything, you can call on me.

...I don't know... I'm afraid I might accidentally break something.

[It's hard not to feel a little warm fuzz at Kazuma's words.]
