[ His hold on her hand tightens a little when she talks. Especially when she mentions the reason for her apprehention. No way, right? How could anyone do that to someone like Kiyomi? Well-- it's not as if he hasn't almost taken people's lives over literally nothing at all, but that's different. Those people were fighting him anyway, and they're nothing like Kiyomi who is so warm and who sees through to the parts of him he wants to keep hidden the most and just accepts them like that. Without questioning it, without scolding him, without disregarding him for it like everyone else..
He can't let anyone do that to her. Even as his cheeks light up and his heart beats just a little faster at the mention that she wanted to see him (see him of all people) and that she's glad he's here, the tension in his body remains. ]
That didn't happen here, right?
[ For as much as he calls the others at Church lame, he can't see any of them actually going that far. Ariga, who he has had the most contact with, is just boring. Not a bad guy, but boring. The others seem to be just about as much various degrees of the same thing.
Shifting a little in discomfort at the emotions brewing inside of him, he doesn't let go of her hand. ]

It's not that he would actually like to see it - it's that he would snap the neck of anyone who tried doing that to her without her wanting it without hesitation. You just don't do that to Kiyomi of all people-- and the thought of some guys having done so before is enough to make his stomach turn. ]
