[He's surprised at himself. Both that he tried to stop Childe from leaving, that he grabbed his arm to do so, and that he is tolerating being this close to him with nothing more than a prickle across the back of his neck. He hears his name spoken, though it sounds oddly distant as he meets that expression on the Harbinger's face with his own eyes slightly widened.
His heart is racing. He realises it all at once when it occurs to him that the thudding pulse in his ears is far too regular a sound to be coming from outside. Childe's eyes dip down - he notices, close as they are - and his bright red ones shift in mimic of the gesture. The other man's skin feels cool under his fingers, a tingling spreading out over his hand and up his arm.
People are watching. He can feel people looking at him - a few openly so, but most attempting to be covert about it. It hardly matters to him. Having eyes on him is not a new experience.
It feels like a minute has passed though it could have only been seconds. Everything pulls together into a split-second, impulsive decision and the thought only briefly flashes across his mind that he's going to regret this before his grip tightens on Childe's wrist and he gives his arm a tug, pulling him in and pressing a warm kiss to his mouth.]
