His words tug on her heart so much. He doesn't want her to be afraid of him... The words sit on her tongue, but she can't say them. She can't promise that she won't ever be afraid of him. That's not a promise that either of them would believe.
But he goes on, and there's one thing that she's sure that she can promise him. She rests her head against his and speaks quietly to him. "You won't have to bear it. There's no line that you could cross that I wouldn't be able to face you. I'm not ashamed of the person you are. And I know, no matter what happens, you'll keep trying to be the best that you can."
He wouldn't believe her, that's true. She's better saving those words.
He's just not sure he believes what she says either. Even with his head on her shoulder and her leaning on him. He stares out and says, "Really?" He sounds doubtful and tired but not angry.
"I've hurt Ichigo you know. I did it on purpose, when I was angry. I made him scared. And together we've hurt one of his friends. How do you know I haven't already crossed the line and I just haven't told you?"
