Amethyst eyes looked at Snow a moment, wondering what he was going to say in return. And when that smile came out, he wondered if it would ever stop being comforting and reassuring. Of course he hoped not.

Yuki was absolutely convinced that Snow needed someone to look after him for all of his outward bluster. And he'd been lucky to see beneath that bright smile to the vulnerable and lonely soul beneath. They were both taking a huge risk here and Yuki was very aware of it. He could only hope that he'd have the courage to step back if Serah came here, after all she was Snow's wife to be and first love.

These thoughts plagued him until he heard Snow speak and felt those hands clasp over his. Snow had his strange effect on him again, washing away all of his doubts and fears with a simple touch. Really sometimes Yuki wondered if it was a kind of magic. And his breath caught at the words. He really wanted to cry and hug the man again, but really he'd really overdone it with the affection as far as he went, though he was pretty sure that Snow wouldn't ever have enough.

So he smiled gently and kissed the top of Snow's head, speaking softly with a trace of wonder in the tone.

"You..really are a knight."
