The tug is surprising. Gokudera was kind of focusing on the wrong things there for a moment. He tugs his arm so the other isn’t touching him.

“His name is Sawada Tsunayoshi. He’s my boss and my friend, and I’m supposed to be keeping him safe. I can’t find him.” His expression reads very clearly I’M A FAILURE but he‘s not saying that out loud. It’s pretty obvious that the Tenth is important to him.

“You can help me find him if you want, I guess.” It’s not like he needs company, but an extra set of eyes can’t hurt.

“I don’t want to keep you from partying with your companions, though.” Gokudera may need the help, but doesn’t expect anyone to drop what they’re doing for his sake.
