[ That admission causes Allen's eyes to widen slightly even before the apology. The echoing of his own sentiments from before, and then apologizing... You— before, when you were shutting him out... was that why? Part of it. What did you think I meant then?
His expression softens, brows drawn slightly in a light dismay while at the same time feeling such a stunned relief and happiness gripping tight at his throat and chest that he blinks rapidly for a moment. He lets the tension go when Shouto presses such a brief but sweet kiss, eyes fluttering shut with a soft sort of sigh, before he nuzzles him faintly in return. Bumps their noses slightly in the process, but pins him with an infinitely gentle gaze then. ]
That's alright... [ He murmurs it back after like he's afraid to speak too loudly or break the spell, and brings his hand up to touch the side of Shouto's face gently. So very conscious of how he's perching lightly above him, the tension coiled in the small of his back and how it curves, and how the sheets are twisted up around them in an impossible bird's nest that pulls across his hips. And yet his expression is so very at ease, mouth curved in a soft and hard to read sort of smile. ]
I feel like I can understand you a little better now. [ The good and the bad, remember?
He hesitates slightly, slender fingertips tracing the line of his jaw towards his mouth as his gaze also dips. Before he presses his lips to the corner of his mouth, equally chaste. Delicate and airy, perched like a bird. Before he withdraws, catches his eye again as he draws his face up— and lets his full weight sink against him to kiss him properly. With such a sweet and pure kind of warmth and heat, the tension bleeding off as he winds his arms back around him. ]
