[ The heat that finds Nishikiyama’s face is either from alcohol or bashfulness at the frank nature of Mine’s words. He doesn’t know, it’s only been a few hours since their relationship had shifted; he’s yet to understand how things will be between them when they’re in private. Maybe this, though, is a hint at what Mine wants.
As Nishikiyama finds the other man’s face, he tiredly but fondly thinks that Mine is needy— if it’s even the right word. Needy doesn’t feel correct because it implies an unnecessarily high demand for attention. Needy annoys Nishikiyama. It suits the hostesses that spam his text messages when they want a sales boost, or the failed excuses for “relationships” attempted on the outskirts of his prior affections for Yumi.
Mine isn’t needy, he’s something else. His hand is on Nishikiyama’s leg, and Nishikiyama doesn’t hate or resent it. ]
Too many drinks.
[ He says this regretting the decision. Nishikiyama’s stomach is still stirring. He wouldn’t be surprised if it leaped suddenly. His fingers stop tracing the back of Mine’s hand. He likes having it on his thigh. ]
I was just going to go home after.
[ Perhaps it’s unclear what he means. ]
But I’ll be alone then, if that’s what you want.
[ Less vaguely now, there’s the implication of an invite. ]
