( Oh no...that's cute. Allow Emil to stare just a little bit because it's just occurred to him that he can acknowledge that Lalli is attractive. Inwardly...outwardly if he wants, maybe?? That's weird, oh god that's weird.
Lalli does have a strange attractiveness, though. He's got a really good face in general; nice cheekbones, that pointed, upturned nose isn't bad. It's not at all his first time noticing, but things being recontextualized is a...thing.
He lets go of Lalli's hand, hand going up to hesitantly touch the side of his face that's slightly turned away. He says that not much is different, but Emil being able to say he wants to touch Lalli and have it be meaningful is different. What may remain unchanged, he understands, is Lalli's fluctuating want to be touched in certain ways. Testing this boundary is bold, but maybe worth learning about!! )
