Kurt doesn't need to be told. They can feel Corrigan's love for them in everything he does, like a shot through the pack link every time he looks at them. And yet... there's something about hearing the words spoken aloud that wrenches at their insides, heart squeezing tightly in their chest.
Before the pack took them in, no one ever told them they loved them.
They carry that emotion into caring for Benji, pouring all their love into reassuring the pup, twisting in Alpha's lap to face him fully. They'll never tire of reaffirming how well he's done—especially now, knowing how he came into the pack, the guilt he must carry. He completes the pack. He deserves to know that, to feel that.
"It's okay, puppy, I'm okay. Y-You saved me, sweet-bee," they coo, caressing his anxiously twitching muzzle, petting the sweat-damp fur over his brow. They let him sniff at the wound on their wrist, showing him they can still move their hand freely, despite the pain. "You were so brave out there, baby. P-Pushed through all that pain to save me. You're amazing."
Kurt glances at Naseer, then over their shoulder at Corrigan, those big sad eyes beseeching him. "D-Does he have to stay wolf to get better? I wanna kiss him," they admit, blushing.
