[In return, Shuichi can likely feel the way Kokichi's melting under that kind of gaze, soaking it in like it's the last drink of water he'll ever get. He'll never get tired of Shuichi looking at him with any level of affection...and it'll take some time before he stops feeling like it'll be the last time he sees it.
Though those feelings are quickly replaced with a mixture of a bust of love mixed equally with embarrassment as Kokichi ducks his head, cheeks pink and feathers ruffled.]
J-jeez, what lame romance novel did you get that from?
[In spite of his words, it's easy for the demon to feel that he loves it. That he's clearly weak kneed here. Please say more things like that to him.]
[Feel free to bask in it as long as you like, Kokichi. For once, Shuichi isn't shying away from eye contact. It's almost like he never wants to STOP looking.]
Mmmm, not from a novel. I just thought of it. Sometimes I'm capable of being romantic, you know? Not very often, but...sometimes!
[It's more than sometimes. It's just usually not with words, that's the thing.]
[He absolutely wants a kiss, even if that makes his cheeks and the bridge of his nose start to actually glow with his blush now. Gotta love that holy blood.]
W-well...I can't let you know how often you do. It might go to your head! Or totally embarrass you if I suddenly go weak kneed and collapse in public. Besides, I'm the Ultimate Apathy, remember? Nothing fazes me.
[The look of it, anyway. He uh...definitely doesn't love the taste or what it does to him when ingested. Sorry, Kokichi. He loves you but your blood is gross.]
[He leans forward a little and nuzzles Kokichi's nose with his own.]
That's fair. I'd hate to get a big head. Though, at least if you do do weak-kneed in public, I'm strong enough now that I can take you somewhere out of the way so I won't get embarrassed.
I never said I would leave you in an alley. Or leave you anywhere, for that matter. [Clean your earwax, Kokichi!] But say we were in the middle of shopping or a nice day out and we didn't want to go home yet. I'd simply carry you somewhere out of the way and stay with you until your knees recovered and we could continue with our business without either of us getting embarrassed.
[How about another nuzzle? He thinks you could use another nose nuzzle.]

[While he still looks embarrassed, he glances back at Shuichi with a little grin.]
With how often you sweep me off my feet? Definitely more than sometimes.

[Hey, do you want a kiss? He thinks maybe you could use a little kiss. Just a quick, little peck on the cheek. Nothing scandalous.]

That's what I meant.
