which— no, actually, he's not going to think too hard right now about what this excited reaction says about him, because they are in public, so it's irrelevant! agreeing to this as a mutual fallback plan just makes him heteroflexible; anything beyond that can probably be attributed to the alcohol and his being a desperate virgin.
he lingers for a moment before pulling back, then lightly clears his throat as he straightens back up, face flushed again. ]
