[The staring's a bit of a surprise, and for a moment Ian wonders if something's happened to his face. In fact, his hand is rising to brush over himself in a quick check as he shoots a concerned look to Souji, because that sort of reaction is definitely something to be worried about.
But then that wow reaches his ears, and Ian's concern changes to something a bit more smug. So Souji's just appreciating his looks then, is he? Well, Ian can't blame him for that. He shows his appreciation for Souji's appreciation with a quick wink, before returning to their more serious mood. He allows Souji to put the space between them, but Ian's hand lingers on Souji's hip in preparation to steady or catch him if the need arises.]
It's not too late for you to become my personal cheerleader instead~
[--Sorry, kind of. Ian... really just can't pass up on the opportunity for that comment.]
