[...what the hell this is so romantic????? Bixing says "like something out of a fairy tale" and Lavi's just like "??? you mean it IS a fairy tale??"
But mostly he's observing Bixing's expressions as he shares his story, as if trying to pinpoint the emotion behind his words. This is an expression Lavi will never forget, now that he's committed it to memory. No matter what happens after, he thinks, he'll always remember Bixing talking about the man he loves.
...He's not sure if he understands still, precisely, but he thinks he gets it for Bixing...]
Yeah, that sounds way more romantic than my story. [but it's warm, and mostly teasing.
if anything, it kind of reminds him of when he first saw Lenalee... though he shelves that name away as soon as it pops up in his head --]
And surprising! I figured if anyone would be the Sleeping Beauty, then it'd be you.
[ oh, that got a little out of hand... his cheeks flush pink, and he waves his hand, now a little flustered. especially at the teasing. ]
Ah - that's, the point is, sometimes you aren't expecting it! I thought love at first sight was just a fantasy, but, I think it did actually happen to me, so I wouldn't discount it.
[ he's still thinking about this like it's science. but, anyway. ] And - no, definitely not. Have you seen Lin? He's so pretty! And, besides, if either of us are half dead all the time, it's always, always Lin.
Thank you, Lavi, that's sweet. [ its okay he takes this like a son might say to their father so its all good
anyway. he puts a hand on his chin.. ]
...You know, now that you mention it... I drank something this week that I feel like made me act a little weird. Did you try anything different at the new bar?

Think you're both good looking. [lavi can say this because he's not inflicted by a gay love potion to make it awkward]
But I guess that tells me it could have happened... Maybe I'm the type who falls out of love just as quickly.
