[Gershom please He stiffens in response to those words, startled and wary.]
...I could have hurt you. I know you're immortal like I am, but... my teeth...
[A vampire's fangs weren't a joke. Not like in romance novels. They were their most deadly weapon, and last line of defense in a fight.]
W-Without my eve or regular blood, I'm not as physically strong. [Eventually, he'd just be a part time cat with little power... not that he'd admit that.] But... I'm still dangerous. Especially when I'm not in control of myself.
[Hilariously, it's the assertiveness that gets through with Kuro. He's still flushed an embarrassed red thanks to Kizuna, but those feline ears pop up again, perking up at that insistence.
He was really sure? really?]
If.... If you're really sure...
[He clings a little tighter to that pillow in his arms.] I.... I liked it. So I... would like like trying again, as well... but only if you're sure.
[...How many times is he going to say that? But he needs to be sure. He needs to be absolutely, 100% sure, because if he isn't...]
I-I don't... want to hurt you. Or for you to hate me. I've... hurt a lot of people, and I don't want to hurt you.
[Those feline ears fold back, and this is a heck of a lot of honesty for Kuro, but with Gershom it felt easier.]

Why would I be? I trust you.
[Kuro wouldn't hurt him if he could help it, so there's nothing to be afraid of.]

[Gershom leans his forehead against Kuro's, hoping it reassures him again like it did before.]
I'm not going to hate you. I'm really, really sure - I haven't been more sure of anything for a long time.
[He's not a strong-willed person by nature, but on this he can't be swayed.]
