Aya was glad that she finally looked to him, and even more so when she said what was on her mind. He smiled to Selphie, glad that she trusted him enough with what was on her mind.
"I care about you, too, Selphie. Honestly, I doubt you could willingly change me to anything you'd like, but you'll probably be a good influence on me." His smile faded into a frown at the word 'repulsive'. Was that what Ikki thought of her? "If I did find you repulsive, I probably wouldn't want to be involved with you like this. I've...been angry for a a long time, Selphie, and for a very good reason. Sure, I may have gotten frustrated a few times when we talk, but those are just petty things that aren't worth my anger over."
He shook his head softly. "None of us are perfect, and I doubt he is." A hand reached for hers, linking them together. "If he ever threatens you again, tell me. You don't have to deal with that on your own. If it gets serious, we'll leave, because it's not worth staying someplace you can't even feel safe in."
Aya wasn't sure what he could do if Ikki threatened her again, but he sure wouldn't just let it go without saying something.
"I'll do what I can to be someone you can trust, and worth spending your time with, but I can't guarantee I'll always be the best of company." He gave her a wry smile. "Maybe we can be not worthless together?"
