[Klaus leans back a little, wanting to comfort Nobunaga in this moment because it seems like he needs it.] I'm sorry you didn't get that experience. Childhoods really do suck, huh?

[They smile at the kiss to their cheek.] Oh, but I'm very ridiculous. That's why you love me. [He reaches back with one hand to lightly touch Nobunaga's hair as a means of comfort as he burrows his face in his neck. He deserves so much more than he believes he does. That's Klaus' very serious assessment.] I'm sorry, Nobunaga. I'll still remember because it's important. Even if I don't say their names. Your life is important and all the details and things that made you who you are now...are important. Even if they're shit.

[That does get a little hiccup in the old heart. The first person he's ever told he loves. It makes them stare ahead of themselves. This is a big deal. And him telling them is a big deal. As far as Klaus is concerned anyway.] I didn't know. [His voice is quiet.]

[As their fingers lace together, Klaus lifts their hands up, pressing a kiss to the back of his hand and then his fingers.] I keep thinking I can't love you any more than I already do and then you just...make me a liar. How do you keep doing that?
