[ Here, his temper gets the better of him, just for a moment. His voice is growly with exasperation when he responds. ]
Of course I sound uncertain, you ass. You think I've ever had to deal with any of this before? All the bullshit going down in this place, [ sex, he means the sex ] or seriously feeling like this about anyone, or someone else ... thinking someone else might -- be like that. About me.
[ It's not that he doubts Dabi. But still, putting that notion into words still makes his chest fill with bees, so he cuts himself off with a grunt.
It's followed by a hard sigh and the rustle of him scuffing a hand through his hair. Ugh. This sucks. He knows that Esikko's (probably) not being a pain in the ass on purpose, either, and any flares of his temper are (kind of) misdirected. So after another huffed exhale, he speaks again, his voice tempered back down to something calmer, at least closer to his usual register. ]
... whatever. Don't talk about me like I'm some ... shitty girlfriend mistreating him. And why would I hate you. I'm only gonna be annoyed if you keep hounding me about this shit.
