Don’t use your photographic memory for weird things, either.
[The teasing unnerves him, just like the smirk, and the warm proximity, but not in an unpleasant way.. what’s worse is how easily Lavi can say what he said just a moment ago. All of it looks easy to him, even as it’s huge steps alone for Kanda to open himself up.
You're a lot more to me than that, Yu.
What can he say to that? What is he to him? Before he might have ignored the sentiment, detached himself from the idea itself, but in the past several weeks he’s learned that taking people for granted.. it’s painful. It’s a suffocating feeling when it backfires and that person suffers.
He doesn’t fly off the handle like he usually does when Lavi calls him Yu, either -- he’s been doing that a lot less lately for obvious reasons. Kanda’s purses his lips before looking up decidedly, his expression akin to pouting; it stems from heavy thought more than anything else.
Kanda knows of Lavi’s past, his near death experience, and there is no doubt that the bookman has heard what happened when the Third Exorcists lost their sense of humanity, the whole thing preceding and following that moment Lavi experienced .. so he knows everything, seen all the skeletons in his closet - everything involving Alma Karma.
Kanda doesn’t say anything following that recollection, just leans in to press his face into Lavi’s scarf, arms drawing hesitantly around the other’s middle.
He can’t say why for sure exactly, but he wants to be closer. They’ll have to return to the Order eventually, and they take separate halls to their rooms, but even then Kanda wants him there.
What can he say to get the point across?]
You're always obnoxious when you get in late after drinking.. Bookman will catch you if you return to your room tonight.
[The alcohol has done a stellar job of making him an honest man.]
