[ Chihiro is doing his absolute best to stop, but he's just really mad at himself at the moment. Mad for almost getting them both hurt, for being weak, for not learning his lesson even though he really wanted to try and be cool and strong.
He just really needs more practice.
Hearing Simon is going to touch his face is a brief distraction, but not one that gives him time to really do anything about it before those gloved fingers are already reaching for him. Big watery eyes blink up at Simon's face, fully questioning the gesture. ]
Eh? W--
[ Oh... that's actually very soft of him. The gloves don't feel great but they aren't horrible either. It does get him to stop producing more tears at least? Maybe not in the way Simon expected, but effective nonetheless. There is also just the fact that no one has really invaded his personal space so thoroughly before, Simon is so close Chihiro thinks he might be able to hear his heart hammering away in his tiny chest. ]
N-no combat experience. I-I don't even play any sports. I could never join the other kids.
[ He averts his eyes from his at that. He was too small, too fragile, too weak. It makes him feel ashamed that he'll probably be yelled about this manly failure as well. ]
I just got really into computers...it's not the same, I know. I'm sorry...
