This is nice. It makes Malleus' chest ache, but it's not in an unpleasant way. It feels full, like he wants to preserve this moment forever; he feels that about a lot of things lately, but particularly these moments with Lilia. The embarrassment of earlier has faded, along with any anger or petulance.

Malleus bumps his forehead back against Lilia's; it's something that makes him feel nostalgic. Sometimes, though, he wishes things between them weren't so... familial. But surely that is the way he remains in Lilia's mind, given how often his childhood is brought up. Maybe he really is still just a child to Lilia.

Malleus exhales. Maybe they will just never speak of this again. It was a fluke. Seven only know what those 'energy drinks' do to people.
