[ The accusation doesn't seem to bother him too much, especially not when she thanks him after. She can call it momming all she wants, but to him it's just looking after her, in a sense.. besides, it's always been mutually looking out for each other with the two of them, just in different ways. He always made sure Kiraki was feeling okay, and she always made sure to scare off anyone who dared to make fun of him.
He glances to the side to see she means the pendant, even if he doesn't have to see to be able to guess what she's talking about. Of course it'd be that.. she's always treasured it so much.

[ Mamoru always made sure to put a lot of thought into his gifts - he didn't want to ever disappoint anyone with them, after all. ]

[ Because Mamoru has zero idea of how romantic these kind of things can seem, and yet he kept buying all of that stuff in a row - flowers, chocolates, jewelry, just about any cliche'd present one could think of. ]
