"Yes, well, that was part of the laugh," Sirius says weakly, though he's calmed somewhat by the feel of Kieren's hands in his hair and the fact that he's still pressed close, isn't yelling at Sirius to leave or calling him the git Sirius knows quite well that he is.
He forces himself to take a breath, smoothing his hands gently up Kieren's sides, more for his own comfort than that of the boy who can't even feel it. "I'm sorry," he admits, a whisper this time. "I won't do it again. I'd know idea it would upset you. You can lock me up if it'll make you feel better. Or thwack me about a bit."
