[And then...well, then there comes an action that might surprise her in the form of Hiro burying his face into her shoulder. He isn't aware of what Clarke knows about Jason (and he remembers what Jason told him about threatening to break his nose if he ever told people things about him) so he remains quiet, sitting on the knowledge of how Jason died and how Jason came back. He doesn't know a lot about Jason's history beyond his death and beyond how he protected his mother and the details of his death...but it's not something he can tell Clarke. If Jason wanted her to know, he'd tell her himself.
Instead, he keeps his face smushed into her, shoulders hitching and immediately stopping when he realizes he's letting this get the better of him. He's not allowed to freak out about this right now. But...having a friend helps. He doesn't speak for a bit, but then--]
...why not? What if that's not enough? [All said still from his burrowed place in her shoulder.] What if he doesn't want to hear it? ["What if he doesn't believe it?" There's another long pause.] It's just not fair.
[And though the context seems as though he means it's not fair that Jason's making him think about this, he knows Clarke will understand the underlying meaning. It's not fair that there's something so drastically wrong that nobody else can fix it.] If I understood it better, I could try to fix it.
