[ That last part has his expression tensing... and then the last two words out of Kurama's mouth has him frowning. He gives a look of "what, seriously?" to the redhead, before sighing gently.

There's another kiss to Goro's forehead before he starts with the initial part: ]

I'll tell them the same thing I just told you. They've seen their share of abuse and manipulation. If you're actually open with them, I'm sure they'll come around. It won't be a matter of them jumping to forgive you, but...

[ He shakes his head. ]

Every single one of us started out simply working together towards the same goal... We didn't start out as friends. That part happened as we endured some tough experiences together. It was a similar concept as what we all went through here.

[ A glance to the side for a moment, and then: ]

Guess it's kind of morbid, but I guess people grow closer, faster, when they have something to suffer through together...

[ But as for that last part of what Goro said... ]

For starters, I love my friends a lot. And it's true... I hold their opinions pretty high up there. They'll... probably have a lot of questions, and there's no doubt in my mind, they're going to want to know if this is something I'm sure about.

[ He gives a gentle smirk. ]

Which... I'll tell them, yes, it's something I'm very sure about.

[ Something... in his expression falters, though. He's turning his head, and it happens that Kurama will be able to see the way his expression drops. ]

... The reactions will depend on which timeline we visit.

[ He reaches out, taking Kurama's hand. ]

But... one thing that'll stay the same, is you'll have the support of your boyfriends.

[ HE'S ON A ROLL WITH THE BEING BLUNT THING...?

... But, in all seriousness, he is glancing from one to the other, watching their reactions. ]
