[HE TRIES TO FORGET ABOUT THAT OKAY!! Because that was scary.....
Which might be what Hiyori's feeling now, huh... Scared that someone might steal away her special someone? Although he would hope that by now she wouldn't need to fear such a thing happening. Or maybe it's just jealousy, plain and simple. That much he can understand, easily.
But understanding and know how to deal with such feelings are two very different things. His own methods of handling jealousness has been questionable at best, to say the least.
So... yeah. One thing at a time. And first and foremost is Hiyori's unhappiness.
Or rather, first is their sudden stop-- with her held firmly against his chest, he topples over, smacking his head against the floor despite Hiyori's best efforts, earning a hiss of pain from him. It's nothing compared to the ache in his heart, though, upon hearing Hiyori's whispered words. Her desperate insistence.
Immediately, he folds his legs beneath himself and scrambles to his feet, lifting her up with him in his arms so he can get them both out into the... well, not fresh air, but at least into the open. Excusing themselves quietly to the other passengers as he does so.
Once outside, he carries her a fair distance away before setting her down on her feet, immediately moving to rub her shoulders comfortingly.]
I'm sorry, Hiyori... For everything. For being an oblivious idiot, for being unable to help, for causing you so much pain...
