Well, for starters, this is definitely not how I imagined our first kiss. [Takumi can at least laugh at himself for this much.
With Oboro's hand over his, he does feel grounded. Oboro has always made him feel so comfortable and safe - more than anyone else has in years. He can be honest with her, he can be himself with her, he can be bratty and ornery and spiral in anxiety around her, and he knows he will never be met with judgement from her. She's always been too good for him in that way.
But that just means he can be honest with her now, too. There's no point beating around the bush with er when his feelings are out in the open now anyway.]
I know I keep saying it [or thinking it] but you really are amazing, Oboro. You're amazing all on your own and I don't want to hinder that.
I feel like I've always been your number one priority and sometimes - sometimes when I know and see what you're capable of, I wish I weren't! That - this [He makes a wide sweeping motion in the direction fo their abandoned sewing.] should be your priority.
And oh - gods be damned - if I courted you before you established yourself and you were only known as "Prince Takumi's wife," I'd be furious! I could never forgive myself. You are so much more than that!
[He's rambling. He's absolutely rambling, but he's never known any other way to get his thoughts out. These are the thoughts that have been on his mind for ages.]
