Kieren's laugh is sudden enough that, for just a moment, Sirius feels a spike of worry that he's perhaps pushed too far. But Kieren's smile is quiet and genuine when Sirius pulls back to meet his eyes and there's a surety there when he speaks again. Perhaps a certain amount of nerves, as well, but Kieren's tone is even, even hopeful.
"Really?" Sirius replies, completely incapable of keeping the excitement from his own tone. His hand tightens on Kieren's side briefly. "You're certain? I promise it won't hurt and I'll be able to end it immediately if it makes you at all uncomfortable." It's nothing Sirius hasn't already assured him, but it feels necessary to repeat the words now when it appears it may, very soon, become more than a hypothetical.
