[bristling a little, but intensely earnest, watching her without embarrassment this time]
To start, I will have you know I've already kissed her this evening, and it definitively did not "count" for anything! Second, I am not an idiot who can be persuaded so easily by lust! She and I are absolutely unsuited to one another, and even if she were to come to me with some unlikely, out-of-character confession in the morning, I would certainly not subject myself to the misery and self-loathing that would follow from pursuing her! The essential difference is that you make me feel--happy! Splendidly happy!
[ . . . now he's a little embarrassed, though, pink again]
[it probably actually feels warm that's how much he's blushing now. he looks like he might have kept being blindly emotional if he weren't too stunned for the moment]
Ah--um . . . what do you mean by . . . saying that? To me, right now--?
[trying to watch the progression of her thumb with his eyes without moving his head; it might look a little silly. finally he reaches to take her hand in his]
I-I--I also . . . I would like that. You do. You will for as long as you are by my side, and I--would like it very much if you'd remain there, for however long it will be possible.
[half torn between some ridiculous tsundere response and a stupid teenage boy yelp of happiness, which means neither happens, which is probably for the best. lifting her hand to his lips though to kiss her fingers, before--]
--You are absolutely certain?! You must be certain! I, I don't always look like this! I only rarely . . . you see?
[kissing her fingers again, in illustration: see see these are the lips I usually don't have]
You realize I am perfectly capable of kissing . . . though of course it's very different, and not nearly as--well, humans are better equipped for a great many, er--
[you know what a good way of not talking is, is kissing. tilting her chin towards him and pressing his lips to hers again, only too happy to do so]
[it's increasingly impossible to be hesitant under those circumstances, so yes, enthusiastic making out is the way to go. it's also really difficult to stay quiet once it reaches a certain point--moaning shortly into her mouth, his fingers tangling in her hair]

Um, but... I am certain, and I don't mind, but... well since we can't very often I just think you should kiss me again!
