[He's quiet for a little while, letting Mikleo cling and cry it out. Mikleo had done the same for him countless times-- most recently when his jiji died-- so of course he doesn't hesitate. It also feels ridiculously nice to pet Mikleo's hair, but that's neither here nor there.]

Don't ever feel like you're bothering me, because you're not. If anything, I'm the one who's always bugging you.

[The last part is a light tease. Mikleo acts like Sorey can be such a pain in the ass sometimes, but that's just part of how they are. They tease, but when it comes down to it, they're always there for each other.

He tucks a bit of brown hair behind Mikleo's ear, first one and then the other.]

I promised, didn't I?

[He leaves a kiss on the top of his head, unabashedly tender. At this point he just doesn't care what it looks like. He loves Mikleo and he's not ashamed of it.]

I promised.
