[ Why is this his life right now!!! He should be worrying about the killing game and potentially devising some course of action against the defectors, but here he is, unable to leave Shuichi alone. Shuichi's supposed to be the one who can't stop thinking about him, but Ouma's annoyed to know that he can't get Shuichi off his mind himself -- in spite of the fact that he would even cheerily proclaim this out loud to Shuichi without even blinking.

But it's somehow different to seriously acknowledge it to himself...

There's a part of him that's screaming to just push Shuichi away and settle it, but he also doesn't want their games to end. God. He forces a tight smile in response to Shuichi's words (even though he's clearly not happy at all), dealing with this the only way he really knows how. ]

Yup, I totally want you to beat me up and avoid me like the plague! In fact, I came over just to make sure you realized your fatal mistake in playing games with an evil leader like me!

[ Ouma backs off the door frame, just so he can throw his arms out like he's delivering some grand statement here. ]

I'm glad you figured it out, Saihara-chan.
