[...Tifa you're torturing him, here. Feeling her lips against his collarbone makes him stiffen, a pulse of heat that trickles down from the spot to his lower abdomen. Aside from the slight quickening of his heart, she might not notice since the most movement he makes is just tightening his arms around her, but it really is a bit of a battle to not do more than that. He's also self-reprimanding because really, what has gotten into him? From not caring at all to being unable to control himself... He's better than this, dammit.
So after releasing a small, calming breath, he returns his focus on how she's willingly staying with him. He can tell there's still something that's uncertain, maybe scared of, and he can imagine general things—but he doesn't know what she's really thinking and that will be something he might need to try and talk with her. Really, there are a lot of things they'll have to discuss, but he's content to just postpone it for later.
Settling into a new sense of peace and comfort he never imagined he'd ever have, a light smile forms when he hears her words and he chuckles a little.]
You seemed to like it.
[Not that kind of teasing and he knows it. Instead he's, of course, teasing her a little more, his arms readjusting to be a little more comfortable as he lightly nuzzles the top of her head.]
