It's occurring to Balthier that's probably what happened; he's growing at catching himself writing stories for others, but he still has a blindspot when his fear of overstepping and breaking his own soap-bubble fantasy dominates his rational mind.
But with David leaning so sweetly into that kiss, lingering so close and agreeing so happily, Balthier can't help chuckle at the both of them, hand holding David's neck and brushing his cheek. Maybe it's wonderful, actually, that he waited and asked like this. All of this is still terrible and daunting, but, what a bright spot amidst it.
"I will be so happy to have my beautiful figure-skating genius living with me," he says back, humming with contentment as their foreheads rest together. "I love you."
