[I shouldn't. The immediate response he has to someone saying that he matters is a little sad— he knows any of his friends would give him hell for it, but it's automatic. Even in a world where being Ichinose scum doesn't actually matter, there are too many reasons why he's not a good match for anyone.
But he can't stop what he wants. He can't stop it at all. It gives life meaning, relationships like this, and this is new meaning— he hasn't had new meaning in a long time. Not like this, anyway.]
Don't apologize.
[He's serious but gentle with those words, fingers curling lightly where his hand cups his face. It's embarrassing to talk about this, but when it becomes serious, then he can ignore the embarrassment. Dextera is opening up to him, and he's not about to push that away.]
You mean a lot to me, too. Isn't that obvious? [Serious, and spoken kind of powerfully, in some way...?] I won't let anything happen to you again.
[If he says that, if he's this determined... maybe it's fine what Dextera thinks. Guren doesn't give him time to reply, kissing him again. It's a rush of passion that has him acting, so it's hard to keep it entirely chaste— but he's holding back, too, and that's noticeable. He doesn't want to make poor Dextera hurt.]
