[There's certainly quite a bit of impulsion and lust involved, but...she's right. He is being genuine and if anything those forces are just being pushed by his true feelings for her. Feelings he's probably had for a while, has tried to ignore, and now finally really accepted that they're not going away. Knowing that despite his stupid actions she still wants him is also something that will always baffle but encourage and reassure as well. If anything, her own persistence will just make him try harder to be more honest about himself to her, at least with how he feels. He might still tell small lies, but what happened between them these past few weeks? It will be the last hurtful lie he's done to the both of them.
So he's happy to hear her words, a light smile meeting hers. And he can hear the sincerity in her voice, a sincerity he's always known she's had. Just...somehow his old self couldn't bring himself to trust it as he should have.
However, those words and feelings also incite some other thoughts and impulsive urges.]
...Aaaah, dammit, Leia. [He lowers his face onto the pillow alongside her ear, gritting his teeth.] You're making this really hard for me, you know that?
[The mood is just way too good. As sweet and tender as it is, by his very nature he wants to respond more physically. Yet he's aware that they're probably not ready for it.
Even if this is the perfect set-up, dammit.
Being a considerate boyfriend in an actual relationship is really hard, dammit!!]
