[Shinya has the good sense to not dig this hole any deeper (even if it might be fun, but that thought barely passes his mind before it's discarded). He's deceptively casual as he picks up the cutlery, pretending not to notice the way Gino's blush darkens; apparently, he's not dense enough that the unintentional subtext went over his head.
Or maybe he is, and the only reason that he picked up on the implications is because he was already thinking about them in the first place. There's a connection to be made here, Shinya thinks, between this reaction that first time he had blushed, and maybe all the way back to that first mention of "distracting". A connection that links back to all the tiny incidents he had noticed over past months, each too minor to be of note by itself, but when brought together form a dangerous picture.
Dangerous, but not exactly unappealing. Shinya can feel the beginnings of heat prickling at the tips of his ears, and focuses his attention on breakfast before he can pursue that line of thought any further. He's not one to be in denial, but. Well. Better to save that kind of thought for later, when he's not shirtless and sleep-rumpled and Gino isn't right there.]
Then we should set aside some time this evening. [That should be enough time for both of them to cool down.] Anything else on today's schedule?
