[Junpei scoffs and rolls his eyes, mostly unserious given how he can't help but grin through it at the same time; he did a jazz hand, Charles, in public. People saw. That and only that he will allow the title of "hardest part," actually. Sure, in the moment it was stressful, and he still had to worry if Charles might finally think Hm, no, that's enough of this weirdo and his bullshit, but now? A whole hour later? Telling Charles how he feels is the easiest thing in the world. He'd go to the ends of the earth (or, like, C drive or whatever this place technically is?) to keep that dazzling smile, so...
Well, it's easy now. That's what counts. He twists in his seat, leaning away from Charles only enough to turn around in his arms and slide his own around Charles' waist.]
Love you, too. [See, so easy, and privately he remembers all the other things that were just as easy to say back when he promised them - to stay together, to carry each other's burdens - and feels a fresh rush of all those desires now, looking up at Charles in his dinky little kitchen.
If he looks, briefly, kind of intense about it, well! He'll probably reiterate all those other things out loud again at some point. For now he leans up into a kiss like a perfect punctuation mark on this decision he's made.
Then, looking back towards the stove,] Soooo... lunch?
