[ Riou does not realize in any way that he's getting Samatoki in trouble. He isn't complaining, after all, he's just sharing what happened with Jyuto. He thinks he's being helpful and just answering any questions Jyuto has. He's doing his best to fulfill his duty as a member of MTC.
He wonders if he's said something weird after what Jyuto says. He doesn't always recognize what is and isn't normal to say or do, so he wonders if perhaps Jyuto was made to feel uncomfortable by the offer. Then again, he's probably gone and assumed something he shouldn't have... Riou's lips turn down slightly as he considers the obvious thing he could've missed. ]
[ That's where his thoughts lead him? It's getting even more awkward as Riou suggests a complete stranger in alternative. What, does he not have faith in Jyuto's availability to find his own partners, or something?! A mercy offering? He can attract them on his own, Riou!
It's not at all what Jyuto meant, and he's frowning back at Riou, the reaction even more flustered than before. He can tell there's no intent to veer this conversation in weird directions, so he quickly tries to stabilize it before it gets too strange. ]
You don't need to do that, that's not what I meant when I said it was strange— [ Okay, but now he sounds very, very gay. He isn't personally exclusive to any gender, but fixing this social interaction is going to be difficult. He's clumsy. ] I just don't want you to pity me for the circumstances. I'm not in need of sacrificial sex lambs, and I'm not going to push whatever needs I may have later onto you just because you feel obligated to tend to them. [ Jyuto doesn't want pity fucks! ]
[ Oh. They're having a big miscommunication here, Riou thinks. How does he explain his thought process the right way... ]
I don't think you need me. [ He reaches up and scratches his cheek near his ear, not looking directly at Jyuto now, then runs his hand up to push his hair back for a moment, other hand on his hip as he tries to explain. He actually even described Jyuto as someone who probably does well when trying to correct Samatoki's description to Sen... ] You and Samatoki are too bold to pity, Jyuto. It's not an obligation, just something I'm willing to do.
[ The clarity is of great aid. Is Riou embarrassed too? He's admitted to something pretty forward after all. Even so, Jyuto doesn't want Riou to feel like he should ever have to retract what's been said for fear of ridicule. Strange as it may be, he's flattered by the sentiment. ]
So that's what you meant. That's a compliment coming from you, thank you. [ Always nice to know that one's bold and fuckable. A free ego boost! But... how to they move on from this topic? He wants to take Riou out of this corner. ]
Sorry for getting so up in arms. As you can imagine, I'm very confused. Maybe you can show me this apartment I'm wanted to stay in...? [ Well, there goes the one he picked of his own volition. MTC can't be left without him there to babysit, anymore. ]
[ Riou doesn't fight getting pulled out of the corner here. Jyuto's always pretty good at about that, and not having to be embarrassed isn't something he's going to complain about. So he nods in agreement and starts heading that direction instead of focusing on the previous conversation. ]

I'm sure Sen will help, if you prefer women.
[ Nailed it. ]
