[he's willing to take that kiss, and when leon finally speaks his mind, it warms stahn's heart a lot to hear.

most people may not have understood those words. when he says "satisfactory," most would interpret it as a cold statement, that perhaps it wasn't unenjoyable, but not something enjoyable, either. but stahn knows leon, he knows the way he thinks and how hard it is for him to put his feelings properly into words. so for him to say that, especially with flushed cheeks and that tone of voice...

he knows that leon is being incredibly sincere. he knows it means that despite his tension and having been unsure of what to make of it, he truly enjoyed what they did the night before... he knows all of this for a fact. and for stahn, that's enough to easy any worries he had as well.

it's fine.

they're fine, and they're going to get stronger together.

so stahn leans in again, pressing his lips lightly to leon's in a very warm, loving (but chaste) kiss.]

You don't have to worry about those things, Emilio. I... don't regret anything either. With you...

....With you, I think it's okay. [that's how strongly he feels. he may have been a bit embarrassed himself thanks to his more conservative upbringing in the countryside, but for leon, it's okay. for leon, he would do absolutely anything, and in this case...

well, he knows this is love.] I'm really happy like this. With you...

[he'd do that again and again, but his own cheeks flush a bright shade of pink. he can't really bring himself to say it yet either.]
