Allen was completely off-guard. He yelped and jumped away from Lavi, rubbing his stinging backside.
“Ow! Lavi, what the bloody hell?”
“If it’s hard to put words to feelings than try it in some other way. I find that hand gestures, writing, and actions work fabulously for things such as that.” He said with a small laugh, trying to keep the light hearted atmosphere present. It often worked in his favor when he was trying to keep the white haired male comfortable.
Allen did his best to resist thinking too hard about other ways to show his feelings, and hoped he wasn’t blushing.
“Hmmm…” he tried to think of some way to respond that wouldn’t give away what he was really feeling. From what he already said, maybe he could play it off as just wanting to be closer friends?
