[ It's hard for him to just accept that. Sure, there's a part of Mamoru that's down to earth enough to realise that she's right, but there's a much larger idealistic part of him that just wants to do absolutely everything he can to protect the people important to him, to make as much people as he can happy, one way or another.
He doesn't want to think about that right now. Not now, not while the revelation of the reason why Kiraki killed her father is still raw enough in itself. He needs a moment to deal with that first, and maybe then he can move on to more.
Moving a little on the bed, Mamoru manages to pull himself fully onto it to a spot where he can lie there more comfortably. Rolling onto his side, he finds a position where he can lie there while holding her, resting his forehead against her own. ]
.. Alright. I'll promise that then. [ Because it's not like he wouldn't have done the same even if he didn't promise - he certainly doesn't want Kiraki to have to be on her own after she liked him for so long and he didn't even realise, after she went through so much just because of him. ] As long as I can, I'll keep living, and I won't let go of you.
[ .. metaphorically, that is.
Although he certainly doesn't have any qualms with how comfortable it is to be lying here together, to feel the way she fits so nicely in his arms. ]
