"Well enjoy it while you can! It's the last time you'll ever be earlier than me," Raihan teases back, hiding his toothy smile behind his hand. Because it's true: Raihan wants to take Leon everywhere, see everything, experience everything with him. They were sure to have dates in other places in Galar, where Leon was sure to get lost. (That was fine with Raihan. He planned on holding Leon's hand while navigating him around.)
Raihan allows himself a few more laughs but freezes when Leon's legs trap his own. He holds his breath for exactly one, long pinch before letting it out, slow and controlled. Leon flirting with him so blatantly makes his heart pound, and then Leon is saying all these things. Wonderful, gorgeous things. Things Raihan couldn't have ever expected Leon to say. They maker him feel tingly, high, like he's floating away, and Raihan still blushes when he remembers Leon loves.
Truth be told, he-- he hadn't expected Leon to react so coyly, and Raihan was a professional at predicting what Leon would do. Leon noticing what he wore catches him so off-guard that he's too flustered and touched and gooey to react in that usual, smug confidence of his. He's glad Leon cuts in with the question, saving him risking answering shyly, and Leon--
Again takes him by surprise. Raihan's shoulder relaxes into another laugh, one he doesn't cover up this time. "Not at all! Can you tell that I'm nervous too?"
Leon's always been one step ahead of him, even here with admitting their feelings. That makes it two-null. If Raihan doesn't step up his game, Leon's going to bury him alive again. Raihan dares to reach his hand halfway across the table, careful not to link hands for everybody to see but still teasing his fingertips against Leon's. "Everything feels new with you now. Nothing's changed, yet everything has."
Raihan smiles to himself, looks up to say something dashing, witty, or cool, but when he looks up, Leon looks so full of love, so beautiful. Raihan wishes he could take a picture of it and set it as his wallpaper from now until kingdom come. "Can we take a picture?" he blurts out, instead.
