Aah, next year? [ Allen answers offhand without really thinking about it, wiping a couple grains of rice from Shouto's cheek where they got stuck and taking the time to clean his own face finally too. ]
And maybe when I kissed you and you flooded the house. [ He licks his thumb to clean the grains from it, meticulously not letting a single one go to waste. ] Or after we cleaned everything up... And then not long after that is when I met you--
[ His pale eyes flick back up to Shouto then, and he smiles softly. No teasing or cheekiness, just the quiet sort of affection that comes from having a heart so full of devotion. Good meals and a full belly will put him in high spirits any day, but that's only the icing on top of the warm sense of fulfillment he has now.
