[ Something isn't right.

He's not so caught up in the splendor and novelty of everything to miss something like that, even if he also isn't expecting Shouto to return the same sort of energy as him. It's partly why he reached for his hand; to make him a part of that high good mood and bring him along with. Because it's because of him that Allen is also in as good of a mood as he is, don't you see? And he isn't expecting to see that same kind of elation matched back, but that... It's like he disconnected for a moment and was entirely flat. Just briefly, but the lag in reaction is noticeable and something about his expression just seems... off, and it causes Allen to still slightly. Melancholy?

Shouto? He says it aloud, but the sound of fireworks and people swallow it up. So he just watches the other boy's profile for a moment after he looks back skyward, eyebrows knit in concern. He returns the squeeze lightly, not pressing it for now, but he's also quieter for the rest of the show. ]


Are you alright? [ He says it gently after the booms fade and the distant murmur of people fills the silence instead, watching his profile carefully. Keeping the majority of his concern in check as maybe he misread, but it isn't entirely absent from his face.

He wasn't expecting the same sort of energy returned, but something about you felt so... far away. ]
