[ Throughout all of their encounters, there has never been a time Gilgamesh hasn't managed to surprise him. It's been a different story for things that truly are not expected. Him not resisting and clamping down on the cherry is one of them. Masamune has never jerked back physically so fast-- or, at least, he has never tried to before. The strength he's dealing with doesn't allow that to quite all happen.
By the time he's past dealing with the shock-- or maybe it's merely the awe at the simple difference in power and control he is dealing with --of being bitten, of bleeding, and of the soft swipe felt by the other's tongue, Masamune's expression is a mix that is mostly unreadable. The only exception is the intimidation that is becoming muddied with growing influence indignation as he consciously refuses to allow himself to take his hand away just because he's bleeding (because it's a useless gesture). ]
Your arrogance—
[ He practically hisses out his words more than speaks them clearly.
(Can it really be simple arrogance when he has strength and control to back it all up?) ]
—Then, I'll say the last of it the same to you.
[ Letting go of Gilgamesh's chin he brings his hand to his mouth to take his own teeth and aggravate the injury-- to further exacerbate the flow of blood. Moving his hand back he deliberately makes the gesture to swipe his hand appropriately across skin; in order paint the blood against Gilgamesh's cheek, dragging it right to the corner of his mouth. The Date clan head won't be intimidated into submission or shy away from whatever the king tries to pull. ]
Do it if you can; or is it better to say 'if I let you'?
[ His boldness is always fueled by a furious response to his freedom. But, what he still doesn't seem to realize is that he's walked right into all of it and is very easily letting himself get pulled even further.
Of course, Masamune knows everything he says isn't possible. But that's also why he says it. He's intending to continue to bite the hand that feeds until the point where the line between impossible and possible blurs together.
He drags his bloodied fingers against the king's mouth in a strange contradictory gesture of being defiant to grant Gilgamesh a certain level of satisfaction and apparently giving him it all too willingly.
(That's the real problem, right? This is Gilgamesh's trump, this is a perfect demonstration proving him right: everything goes as it's supposed to, one way or the other.)
...Ah, wow. He really fucked himself over this time. ]
