[He chuckled. He did have a lot of those, huh.]

I'm trying to make up for all the spoiling you already do, y'know.

[daikonrose]

I just do normal things, though.

[whenyouneedme]

Normal for you, maybe.

[daikonrose]

What do I do that isn't normal, on the level of giving really nice gifts out of nowhere and for no occasion?

[whenyouneedme]

You're always keepin' yourself busy but you still make time to fuss over me, there's always food, you let me steal you away for things...

[Not to mention all the doting on Shinji? That was extremely important also.]

Seems like it's the whole package, really.

[daikonrose]

[ Excuse you, doting on Shinji is not something she does for Kaito's benefit. ]

Looking after you and doing things for you is just to make myself happy, and food is a basic necessity of life.

[ She was blushing anyway though. Praise accomplished. ]

You really can make more demands of me, you know.

[whenyouneedme]

[It's not but it's something he appreciates anyway!! Just like all these other things!]

Pff, I'm not gonna demand anything from you. That's a bit much.

[daikonrose]

I know, but... what I mean is, I wouldn't mind if you asked more of me. You know?

[whenyouneedme]

[He huffed and smiled, reaching up to brush his fingertips over her hair.]

I dunno what I'd ask for when I've already got everything I could want.

[daikonrose]

[ There was a small pause, and then Kyoko leaned her head lightly into that touch. It was fine. This was all still fine. Her eyes shut, and she pulled in a soft breath. ]

... I really love you.

[whenyouneedme]

[....... Oh. It was soft and quiet, but it was hard to miss those words that had always been off the table. Kai had never minded. There were so many other ways that Kyoko showed how much she cared, and those had always been enough.

That didn't mean his heart wasn't swelling now. Ah. Oh. It was warm. Very warm. Truly, how could he possibly ask for anything else at all?

He leaned over, pressing a gentle kiss on her head.]

Love you.

[daikonrose]

[ If they'd been off the table, it was only because Kyoko was sure she didn't deserve to speak them. Even now, the felt kind of forbidden--how dare she, when she'd once tossed aside love like it was poison, when he already had someone who deserved him, when it's already taken her so long, when there had been so many more important moments and she choked up. How clumsy she was with such a beautiful thing.

But this time everything was quiet and gentle, and the words had welled up on their own. He needed to know this. She wanted him to hear it.

But she was just going to duck her head against his shoulder and die now. ]

[whenyouneedme]

[No need to die here. This was a safe zone. Kai smiled as Kyoko hid against him, letting his hand fall from her hair so he could wrap his arm snugly around her. See, everything was nice and secure.

Those words were gonna stay warm and safe in his heart.]
