Though he wants to huff and puff about how Haku isn't taking him seriously yet again - and he's already frowning, halfway there to the huffing - that smile stops him. And that, combined with Haku's answer, silences Eiri and makes him think.
No, this time Haku is being serious, just in his own way. And it is Haku's own way because he doesn't do things like anyone else. Whatever happened to him before Sakura had to have shaped him so much more differently from Eiri or "normal" people, but if this is the only way he knows to communicate, then Eiri, as his Messiah, has the responsibility to listen.
And he wants to know Haku better. He wants to know how the other man thinks and operates.
Which is why, even when Haku kisses him again, Eiri only makes a slight noise of protest - because this is still new and a surprise, after all - as opposed to his usual flailing. Everything about this time is different, he knows, so he'll behave for once.
His eyes slip closed and his hands slowly find a loose purchase on Haku's shoulders.
The fact that Haku is taking his time is nice, too, even if Eiri is trying to figure out what exactly it means, but since they've overcome one hurdle already, this shouldn't be a problem, right?
I don't dislike you either
...No, Eiri doesn't doubt Haku's feelings anymore, if he ever really did. And though he can't put the meaning behind Haku's actions into words, even in his mind, he thinks he gets the gist of it.
His own lips begin to move against Haku's mouth as his hands tighten their grip just a little bit.
