[Very quickly, he shakes his head. He has a bad case of the ugly crying, though it's not particular ugly considering the Genjis are always very good looking. But, yeah, it's ugly crying. No sobs, only tears he isn't sure how to stop, stinging his eyes, his nose red and wet.]

...so happy.

[He doesn't want Higekiri to look at his face like this, so he throws his arms up and wraps them around Higekiri's shoulders, squeezing himself close and burying his face in the crook of Higekiri's neck. His voice is wobbly and muffled, but he talks anyway, soft where Higekiri can hear:]

My chest is going to burst... I'm so happy... that you love me, elder brother.
