-”You’re really pretty amazing, you know that?”
Those words coming out of your mouth were enough to make Reiji’s brain nearly shut down for a moment. He’d never been praised by a human before, especially not so casually, as if it wasn’t nothing short of glorious.
You were still smiling at him, one hand gently ruffling his hair, and it was all at once quite possibly the best moment of his life.
After years and years of doing everything possible to be good, someone was finally recognizing it. You’d been kind before, but this was almost too much.
“Thank you,” he said, as politely as possible, since you allowed him to speak.
It meant the world to him that someone was willing to acknowledge how hard he worked to be good for them, and that one line of praise was enough to cement his loyalty to you forever.
