[It occurs to Kevin that he is the servant, the angel and the adult. He shouldn't be surrendering to his own insecurities like this.
Besides, the reassurance that Master William is not angry with him helps, though he must admit that the disappointed look on the young man's face breaks his heart.]
Forgive my audacity, but I believe I might know where you are coming from, sir. It is just that...not pushing any further is exactly what allows me to have a happy life by your side.
It is terribly selfish, I'm afraid, but it is the cruel heaven you and Master Kaz dislike so that allows me to be here. If I were to forsake God, if I were to lose my wing, it would be so that I would not miss a single birthday like this.
[A price he is now ready to pay, but only for this very good reason. And that, he hopes, is truth enough. The kind of truth young master deserves from a liar like him. To emphasize his words, he presses his warm lips to the precious boy's forehead.]
