It was those first clumsy steps into a middle-ground. Proactivity from Declan and Aoba alike, both acting on criticisms received from their respective sources. For Aoba, it came from being told to be the one to do things first, so that Declan would be able to do them too.
Either way, the results were good ones. That little sigh, that show of gently pleased reaction, made Aoba feel good. It made him want to find other ways, other things to do that Declan could react so favorably to. Physically, yes…but in ways that weren’t so physical, too.
The kiss drifted to a natural end as Aoba pulled back from it, his fingers making a few more combs to taper off the gesture, self-conscious but happy all at once.
“I’ll…go get cleaned up now,” he managed. “Would you pick out another favorite of yours for us to watch?”
