[ Kojiro narrows his eyes. He is not a child, thank you. Still eating the chip, though. Reki's fingers get nipped in the process, teeth at his thumb and forefinger, but Kojiro will claim that it can't be helped. ]
No. Not about you, though.
[ This, on the heels of an eyeroll. Reki's self-deprecation is equally adorable and infuriating. Kojiro never minds reassuring him, and he's liberal with his compliments. But it's depressing just to know that this sweet, talented, wonderful person lives with that kind of pervading, all-consuming doubt. Kojiro wishes he could take it away, make Reki see how amazing he is. And even knowing there's no way he ever could--
Maybe that's part of the reason for all of this. If Kojiro can't take those feelings away, maybe just getting Reki out of his own head for a little while is good enough for now. ]
You're great. And I like you a lot. Glad I can keep you entertained.
