Even Alias didn't realize what he had done until he looked up and saw the surprise in Theo's eyes.
"Ah," he flinched and moved back, "Sorry," but he acted way too fast and lost his balance, his back heading for the floor, but Theo went down with him, using his arm to save Alias's head.
"What's got you all jittery this morning, Alias?" Theo asked, directly above Alias, blocking the light falling on Alias's face.
Alias didn't know. He just… did it. Now, his heart was racing as well. His face was dusted pink, and he turned his head away.
But Theo grabbed his chin and brought his face back so he could look him in the eye.
"Hey, moon boy, is there something you want to say to me?" He asked, not sounding upset but rather… curious.
Theo wanted to know if Alias was also having those complicated feelings as he was. He wanted to know if he wasn't the only one who had to contain his racing and pounding heart while looking into the other's eyes.
