You are. [He's thought his interest in hearing Kyle's thoughts and feelings could be read through his actions, but as often seems to be the case with everyone he knows lately, it's sounding like more effort is needed on his part.
It feels reasonable. People won't know what he's thinking and intending, unless he tells them. He gives himself that reminder again, now.]
I do want that. You know it, but you are more to me than my administrator, a person who has helped me, or a boyfriend. You're also a friend, as tame as that may sound. [It's the truth.] I do want to hear the things you think about, and what you want to tell me.
[If some of this is about feeling wanted, is there some better way for him to show that beyond the things he feels he does now? The how there doesn't feel clear now, and Kyle isn't asking for it directly, but it's something he resolves himself to considering further.]
