Issei was, for lack of a more specific term, incredibly embarrassed.
He did not like wearing women's clothing. It was uncomfortable, it made people mock him relentlessly, it was impossible to explain away, and it was really embarrassing. This had to have been the reason why the community made him wear it so often.
Don't think about that, he told himself. He liked talking to Haruto, so maybe that would distract him from what he was wearing. He could only hope.
"Ah, yes, I'm over here." Issei smiled weakly at him, standing at the foot of the steps. "Did you have a good trip?"
Haruto choked on whatever words were in his throat when he spotted Issei at the top of the stairs. A sweat drop appeared and he stumbled slightly where he stood, stammering horribly.
He tried for words again, but his throat got tangled up with his mind and - there it was again. Another nose bleed, he felt it first - the moisture on his upper lip - and quickly pinched his nose shut.
"Yes, it was fine." he replied in a nasally voice, managing a smile.
Probably unfortunately for Haruto, seeing him pinch his nose triggered Issei's alarm bells, and he dashed to Haruto's side. "A-are you all right? I brought some tissues if you need them," he assured him, pulling one out of the box. "Are, are you feeling quite well? Do you want to sit down?"
Let it not be said that Issei didn't show concern for his guests.

He gave Issei a comfort smile, and held up his free hand the other still on his nose.
"N-no. I'm well, I promise. It happens sometimes." he promised hurriedly.
Hopefully, Issei wasn't able to catch onto Haruto's little - body function, but he couldn't help it. It just happened.
