[Only on occasion. That's such a cute, Keito-like thing to say, and it really hits him in the heart. It's Keito, here, here and holding his hand, here and reassuring him in the most clumsy of ways. Eichi can't help but breathe out a laugh, ducking slightly to cover it with his free hand, but it's short, and it's mostly air, and a cough follows it.
Still, he turns into Keito. It's fine to be a bit childish on occasion, then. So, as usual, he's taken off his mask as Emperor for him. And, as usual, he'll lean on him like this, selfishly turn to him and expect him to help, even if it's unfair. Even if it's too much work.
Without releasing their joined hands, he leans into him completely, burying his face into the spot between Keito's neck and shoulder, his free hand wrapping around his waist loosely. It means his rabbit ears twitch a little next to Keito's head, and he's definitely coughing into him a few times, but there's warmth, and more Chroma, and he just wants to stay like this for a little while. Like a child. Like when they were kids and he got really scared.
How long is he going to be here, after all? He doesn't know, but he wants to make the most of the time they have. He doesn't want to take it for granted.]

Well, being logical is his strong point, and he sees the logic in what Eichi says. He's not happy about it, though. ]
Then for as long as I'm in this world.
[ That'll have to do for now, and hopefully Eichi understands that he doesn't mean in a clingy way. As for his wish... ]
... It's fine to be a bit childish on occasion. [ He squeezes Eichi's hand in return. ] So long as it's only on occasion.
