There's a lot to think about here. Most importantly the fact that Taiki says he knows it's hurts when those things happen, since it means the same must have happened to Taiki. And Inigo's thoughts mirror Taiki's own, almost to an unsettling degree. Because here he thinks Taiki is the one who is sweet and kind and shouldn't be rejected by anyone. How could anyone be mean to someone so borderline angelic?
But he knows it's probably not the best time to start a discussion about that. Not while Taiki is clearly putting so much effort into trying to cheer him up. Even though Inigo knows he deserved that treatment from people. It's since he's always doing the wrong thing. Being too pushy. Saying dumb things. Constantly being so misguided in his attempts to try and cheer others up. He's well aware of his many flaws, and the appropriate consequences he's being dealt for them.
Which is exactly the problem with the point Taiki brings up. Inigo doesn't try to move from the other's hold at all, but he smiles very, very wryly.
"I feel like I'm trying very hard to only show him my good sides though." How effective those attempts are is another story entirely, but still.. "I.. really wish for him to think favorably of me. Because he's.. well, you of all people know how great he is."
Gyousou is authorative, but not in a bad way. He isn't evil, nor meanspirited. Not to mention.. How could Inigo, who's been rejected by the king of his world, his father, not yearn for the recognition of another king instead to fill up the void?
"I fear he will hate me, so I try so hard whenever he's around. .. I do that with a lot of people, actually. Even with you. It feels that whenever people will see all of me, they'll hate me. And then I'll be all alone again in the end."
