[Heizou's heart warms with every word. On some level he knows it's selfish to want so much from Lyney. It makes him happy to know he's become so important to the magician, to know that he's carved out a space for himself in his life. Maybe it's because Lyney has done the same to him; burrowed under his skin and made a home in his heart before he even knew what was happening.
For now Heizou just lets out a soft, warm chuckle as he cradles Lyney close, carding his fingers gently through his hair, scritching lightly along his scalp.]
You're dear to me too, Lyney. I have to confess... It broke my heart a little to think that I could never compete with your family. That's not even something I could be upset about, either. I know how important they are to you.
But... [He presses a small, quick kiss to Lyney's head before continuing.] You telling me this... All of this... I can't even begin to explain how happy it makes me.
[To feel trusted. Included. Cared for and wanted in a way no one else ever does.]

I've never felt this way about anyone before you.
