[ He will never get tired of feeling that heatwave roll off of him. No matter if it were a summer day even. Knowing the sort of sentiment that must be behind it, how it meant he had to be feeling for that kind of subconscious warmth--
It means you're happy, doesn't it?
So breathless by his own stark realization, Allen almost doesn't realize the embrace until he's been pulled into it. But has Shouto ever hugged him that wholeheartedly, that tightly? That tenderly. Maybe, but it strikes Allen especially clearly in this moment, and he's a little caught because of it. Oh...
He blinks a few times, feeling the sting of tears that well but don't fall, before swallows past the lump in his throat and winds his arms around Shouto's neck. Sinking against him with such a heavy and grateful sort of relief as he buries his face into the crook of his neck. ]
Can we? [ His voice is hoarse and cracks a little, soft and pitching up at the end like a lost but hopeful child. Like he's also just realized yes, we can still go to sleep together and that means the world.
Even if he's exhausted he doesn't think he'll sleep for a while, not after everything that's just happened, but-- his knees press tight against his hips while he hugs Shouto a little tighter too. ]

I think... I'd like to just hold you for a while.
[ If that's okay. ]
