[Aaand that is the hand still holding his bag.] Ah, careful, I have fish in there.
[But that quiet warning is the most protesting he's going to do; in fact, he does his best to rearrange the bag himself so it won't be in the way or in danger of being dropped or squished. It isn't the easiest thing to do without looking, but it's going to take a whole lot more than some fish for him to want to look away from Shun right now.
Ren's breath catches in his throat and he can feels his heart speed up a bit as Shun makes that declaration, and his fingers twitch in Shun's grasp like he might have just grabbed Shun right then if he could have. Maybe he should have had more faith in Shun and how much he valued their friendship too from the start, but that still better than he'd hoped for. Even if he is approaching it with his usual overly serious attitude...but while he's sure he'll think it's a little silly when he looks back on this later, right now it's incredibly charming and reassuring. That determination Shun has to stay in control of any situation, or at least power through the ones that make him uncomfortable, is one of the things Ren admires most about him, and if he's approaching it that seriously, they should be okay even if this doesn't work out.]
You're right, I shouldn't have been so worried. [It's just so hard not to worry about screwing up his friendships sometimes...]
I'd really like that. And you don't have to worry, I know enough about what happens next for both of us.
[So that might be overstating it a little, but Shun isn't the only one who can pretend his way through unfamiliar situations, and this is almost certainly less unfamiliar to Ren. Even if it's only by a little bit.
As for that thing that happens next, well, there's definitely one thing Ren has wanted to to do since he figured out his feelings and this seems like the perfect opportunity. He gives Shun's hand a light squeeze as he shifts forward the last little bit and leans up to finally kiss him. He's careful not to seem too eager right away, since Shun is still wrapping his head around this whole idea, but it's still firm and very determined to at least introduce this idea to Shun.]
