[ Ayato's tease lessens the tension in Thoma's body, because he had been worried that he'd be... turned away? Rejected? He wasn't sure what. ]
[ A part of him thought Ayato would never do something like that to him. He knew in his heart that Ayato regarded him with far too much kindness and consideration to heartless turn him away, but his mind... his mind had long ago been tempered by the Inazuman expectations of him not to expect anything. Not to hope past his position. That the man's duty would always come first. ]
[ But maybe, here... Maybe here he could hope a little more. ]
[ So even though his ears still redden from the tease, his smile is soft and with just a little more boldness, he presses a kiss against the back of Ayato's hand before setting it down. At least, he'll stop apologizing profusely. ]
I can go fetch your clothing, or you can borrow some of mine.
