Steven is obviously very nervous talking about this - and Tamaki's acceptance of his confession is obviously very valuable to him. He relaxes a little bit, and then nods.

"I know... it's just... really hard, sometimes. To feel like I can." That last part is hard to say, and he only just manages to rush it passed his self-consciousness on the subject. "Or... to feel like I want to? I don't... I don't like feeling this way. I don't want to."

He can't meet Tamaki's eyes.

"But... not wanting to doesn't mean I don't end up feeling sad anyway."
