[He had a feeling she would like what he said, but he did not expect that she would fling herself towards him to kiss him like that. His arm rises in surprise to catch her, and it takes him a moment before he properly receives and returns that kiss.
It does feel...a little embarrassing to admit, but it's true, isn't it? She's become something he cares for a lot, something precious. Not really someone he "hunted" for but someone he found and discovered to be more valuable than could ever be measured. Someone he would never want to lose...
Well. There's only one word for that, isn't there? A word that's likely existed from the start but difficult to really admit or accept... But a word that had to exist for him to get this far.
A word that almost escapes him as he looks at her but manages to keep it in for now.]
Then you've been around stupid people. But works in my favor, I guess.
[His lips brush against hers as he speaks in a low voice.]

You can't let anyone else say it, either.
