Being touched stung horrible, but it would have been much worse if Kuro hadn't gone for him. Kurama returned the hug as best he could, a little smile twitching the corners of his mouth. It would be a long time before he could look at Kuronue without the pang of longing, tits or no, but at least there were little things, like this, that he could look forward to. even if he had to be monumentally stupid to get them.

"I need to learn how not to be a moron," he said, admitting more to Kuronue than he ever had in his life. "And I can't do it without someone reminding me when I'm being one. Mello helps, but you know me better."
