[ There was a little moment of hesitation--would this even be wanted?--but then Kyoko leaned up to press a very soft kiss to his temple, staying close afterwards as she murmured to him. ]
Getting hurt isn't something you deserve. I don't want that.
[The level of gentleness there was so unexpected that whether he would have wanted it or not wasn't even a factor. It was taking him a moment to process this, the surprise lingering on his face as the confusion rippled to his core. How... huh? No. That felt incorrect. What had he been trying to say?]
... You're... You're not gonna hurt me by being mad.
[ Was that too much? It didn't seem like it was an unwelcome gesture, but maybe she should've held back after all? Kyoko worried her lip a bit, fretting. ]
But... not understanding you did hurt, right? So, if there's something like that, I don't wanna just leave it alone.
[ That sweet look in his eyes as he leaned in had her relaxing, though a warmth stayed gently in her cheeks. Good, then, they were both good. ]
Thank goodness. But then, if I mess up again, I'd want to get to this part as soon as possible, you know? So, you still have to talk to me right away, if I don't realize something is wrong on my own.
[Surely this had shown they could, right? Kai thought so. This... this was good. He pulled back just enough to press a small kiss of his own to her cheek, because that had been very nice. Sorry he didn't appreciate it more in the moment.]
[ That kiss was received quietly, just a soft inhale and her fingers curling warmly against his. Her head tipped gently against his again when it was over. This was good. ]

Unless I deserve it. We'll find out.

Don't worry about that, [he murmured low as he tipped his head to hers again.]
This is already enough to be good.

Mmm. Gotcha. We'll get it sorted.
