[So it seems it is. Leon snorts under his breath, managing a real smile, finally. At least some of the tension has gone out of this. For one thing . . . none of what Togami's been getting at here has actually been a rejection. It hasn't been acceptance, either, but doesn't it feel like it might be leaning that way—?

Either way, the fact that the topic's even been opened up, instead of being danced around, makes it easier to handle. They're finally talking about it! Talking isn't so hard!]

Seriously . . . ? You never just wanted to go for it before? Do you start every makeout session with, like, "I would like to inform you that we are going to make out now"?
