[ Raikou isn't privy to Gau's thoughts, never has been, and never will be. He doesn't understand the devotion the boy has for him. Not even now. He could never assume that this was for his benefit. To him, it's just Gau recollecting the hurtful situation that will make Raikou's eyes well up again.
There's anger somewhere there, beneath all this, but for now, he's more focused on Gau, on Gau alive than the person who did this to him. Give him a day and it'll change.
His fingers brush through raven hair, calming and continuous motion that seems to be a half automated. But while he speaks, mouth against Gau's brow, he lays a few gentle kisses on the boy's forehead. ] It's over now. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.
