[Varian is a stubborn little fuck who likes to stick to his guns come hell or high water. He also has a habit of trying to make the people who matter most to him feel... important. Better. Because it took him a long time before anyone ever told him that he was enough, and it's still a fact he's trying to get his head around.
But Jun has said it's making him uncomfortable and that's enough to pull him up short. Guilt blooms in his chest because that's the last thing he wanted. ]
I'm sorry, I didn't meant to make you uncomfortable.
[ There's a temptation to let the guilt sit there, to let it eat at him. But he knows he's told Jun he's trying to be better about forgiving himself. Jun made a step to communicate better here, and he should make his own steps here, too.]
Thank you for telling me. I'll remember and try to do better with that. I just wanted you to know how highly I think about you. But I see where I... missteped on that one.
