[Rei smiles as his head is tugged up, a tear escaping his eye unbidden. He knows he has a tendency to let his emotions run away with his words sometimes, but Rin knows too - their first real conversation had been explosive enough to prove it to both of them. He just didn't want to be ambiguous about it.
He's patient while Rin gathers himself, heart hammering in his chest. He knows something important is coming, so he doesn't speak, breathing in time with Rin.
And then...
And then it's all out there, and Rei can't stop more tears from slipping down his cheeks, even as his smile gets wider, so, so happy. It takes him a moment to respond, too busy just gazing back into Rin's eye's and feeling giddy, but then he remembers he should be saying something back.
The words are obvious, but it still takes him a moment to settle his mind enough to summon them.]
Me too.
[He reaches a hand up to cup Rin's face.]
I'm in love with you too, Matsuoka Rin.
[And then he kisses him, gentle but enthusiastic. Later he'll wonder if they're moving to fast, but how can it be wrong when it feels so right? He's known this for a long time, he realizes, and now it's in words, confirmed, that they feel the same way.]
