this is-- comfortable, though. easy. his head is still off balance, but he's managing to quiet it somewhat, distract himself and his thoughts away from where they keep turning.
the problem is they turn elsewhere instead, and he's suffering a lack of impulse control.
so after resting here for a minute or five, he's just... shifting to lean up, reaching up to turn io's face toward him, and kissing him again.
he did say it wasn't affection week, and he did believe him, okay? he just isn't used to this sort of thing, having his face turned and met. so it takes him a moment to attempt some sort of reciprocation. his brow furrows, but he does...
cautiously press back this time. it seems hesitant and uncertain, but present, and there in the moment, because that is what matters in this instant. when he pulls away, it's just to look him in the eyes. ]

... Did that... help? Even a little?

[he's a little pink, after, but. it does make him feel a bit better. not fully, it can't push out the feelings he's struggling with, but...
having it returned, at least-- that's something for him to hold on to.]
...what about you?
[how is it for him?]
