When he looks up at him questioningly, Allen's expression softens and he just smiles gently in response, with just the slightest air of secretive mystery. Relaxed and comfortable when, yes, he had been on edge and tense all month about most things in a way that never fully shut off. Never because of Shouto, in fact increasingly trying to stay near him, but... a pervasive skittishness that eased up around him, but not fully.
This is fully relaxed and content like he hasn't been at all in weeks; happy. Although his expression drops and he looks so crestfallen at the 'no'. ]
Ehh? Really? [ Sulking lightly, he drops his head to Shouto's shoulder and sags against him with a slight pout. I'll go with you then on the tip of his tongue-- ]
