[Whether she's aware she's been slow about it or not, Shiro certainly is. Except he hasn't thought of it as slow so much as... 'still getting there'. Just because he's the type to make up his mind fairly quickly when he's sure of something, doesn't mean he expects anyone else to. So Hana's drawn out approach to whether she loves him or not -
he'd honestly expected to have to wait much longer before she was sure she was in love with him.
Except now she says it so easily and with such casual confidence - he wonders when it happened. And how he missed it.
His throat tightens and the bands close tight around his chest but it feels like his heart is swelling too large anyway. The stupid smile starts, stops, starts again and he pulls back just enough to meet her eyes without taking his hand away. His voice is husky - and somehow a little young too.]
