[Aha, of course he's smug, Junpei all but handed him that ammo on a silver platter - and he's amused about it despite himself, not at all managing to stop smiling even as he raises an eyebrow like, come on, ego much? It's cute is what it is, and Charles isn't wrong, so...
He hums and shrugs again - it's a mystery! - and lets go of Charles' hand to slide both arms around his shoulders, pressing himself as close as he can get with his feet still on the ground. Clearly he should tell Charles all of his idle kissing thoughts, if it inspires him to kiss like this— Junpei is all too happy to kiss him back in earnest, the middle of the street be damned. Maybe he'll care about that someday, but right now the whole world is him and Charles and the way that kiss leaves him almost dizzy - whether that's purely from the high of finally confessing or quite literally from being breathless is anyone's guess.
Either way, he doesn't want to let go; he wants to stand right here and look into Charles' eyes and let it really sink in, to adjust to the way it feels almost like the world has tilted on its axis in his favor, for once. The reset worked and Charles loves him, they're blocking the whole damn sidewalk and it doesn't matter because Charles loves him, him! Of all people! Even after the jazz hand—
Well, now's not the time for insecurity. Now is the time, actually, to give Charles an affectionate hair ruffle while he, ahem, settles down a little after being kissed so thoroughly. Whew.]
Now you're just showing off. [but also please continue to do so—] ...We should go on a date. Like, get dressed up nice and everything. You want to?
