[Part of him doesn’t really believe that; maybe it’s a larger part than Sunny wants to admit. He did feel alone. In so many ways, he always will - there will only ever be one other person who can truly understand, and he’s…
[He wouldn't even be able to put into words how guilt is now eating him alive, but at the same Kel pushes everything down- he will cry later if he feels like it- but Sunny is the priority.]
Good. I'm determined to be here for you from now on...
[He reaches forward, acting like he does when Sally is upset and trying to press his lips against the other's forehead. It's not a romantic gesture, but he's still trying to give the other all his affection.]
[Kel may be lacking in many departments, at least compared to his brother, but he has plenty of love to share around between his friends.
Part of his 'going overboard' with Sunny may be tied to a feeling of guilt, that's true, but at the same time he also genuinely cares about the other.
Having Sunny return his affection is still a bit alien, it already felt like the high fives required a lot of efforts on the other's part but he can't complain.
Of course! [He grins widely in the other's direction. He would like to say 'I need no help', but at the same time he doesn't want to invalidate Sunny's desire to feel helpful.] I mean, I can't really think of anything I need right now, but I promise I will seek your help should I need it, mh? I'm counting on you.
we can wrap soon or continue if u had more planned!
[The affection is more than a bit alien to Sunny too, but he's been here months now - gone out, made friends, slept beside people...
[It's gotten just a little easier.
[Sunny's not sure if Kel really plans to rely on him; a large part of him doubts that, but he won't push. Kel's always been good at staying positive. He'll probably be fine. Sunny just worries...in a place like this.
[Sunny pulls away, at last. He returns to his ramen.]
I mean, it looks good to me. Buddies being buddies and all.
[He got plenty of practice between his sister and all his other friends, he's a very 'hands on' person... it's just strange receiving it from Sunny, but he can get used to that.
On relying on Sunny... he will try to do his best to make him feel useful and needed without exposing him to deadly risks.
Another big grin before returning to the floor, sitting down and returning to his ramen as well.]

I wouldn’t…let you…

[Sunny grips tighter.]
We’ll be…together…now…

Let it all out, Sunny.

["Let it all out," Kel says, but Sunny is tired of crying. He's cried more in the past month than he did in four years. It's exhausting...
[Fingers find the back of Kel's head, idly scratching - Sunny's own brand of affection for his friend.]
Let me help...you too...
