Tino frowned in thought, going through people he knew with hats, especially white ones. At the same time he moved on the couch for a better position, and his hat slid over his eyes, and only when he was moving it back he realized. He owned a white hat himself. His surprised gaze got back to Berwald's.

Berwald nodded, confirming the other's thoughts. Tino's thoughts were screaming this and that, about how Berwald had even called them lover and all that, but his cheeks got only a faded shade of pink. "I.. I-I.." he stuttered up a bit, and he had to change his confession in Finnish to be able to say it out loud. "Minä.. rakastan sinua, myös.."

Surprisingly, Berwald knew exactly what it meant. "Wait... R'lly?" He asked, his face flushed red. Again, this was his own happy red.

Tino turned his head to the side in deep embarrassment, giving him a slight nod, as he slowly curled up a little on the couch, avoiding the gaze of the Swede. "Mhm.."

Berwald didn't know how else to react, so he decided to do what he's always wanted to do: hug him. Not a friend-hug, but an I-love-you hug. Berwald brought Tino's eyes to meet his own, almost instantly hugging him.

Tino's eyes widened a little again, but this time he smiled gently, allowing his body to melt into the warm hug he received from Berwald. He buried his face into the crook the other's neck, shyly nuzzling there. Berwald continued to hug him, not wanting to ever let go. This is what he'd wanted ever since the start, and now he's gotten it. To him, nothing could ever be more perfect in the world. Tino closed his eyes in the moment, breathing in Berwald's scent, the one that was safe and sweet. In Berwald's arms he felt comfortable and safe, like at home - and it truly was his home. Tino decided to try out something, as he reached higher to press his lips gently against the other's cheek, before nuzzling it softly. Berwald's face grew into a new shade of red, burning hotly. He pulled Tino even closer gently, not wanting to scare him-- even though there was a low probability of that.

Light giggles escaped Tino's lips at Berwald's reddened face, since the man looked unbelievably adorable so. "You're so cute", he mumbled contentedly.

"I w'ld bet all o' m' m'ney that you're c'ter." Berwald countered, only half-joking.

Tino gave a flustered giggle, shaking his head a little. "I'm not", he argued, as he slowly moved to sit on Berwald's lap while facing him.

"M'ybe you n'd m' gl'sses th'n!" He said, taking his glasses off and placing them onto Tino's face.

Tino laughed, adjusting the glasses well on his face, having to squint a little. "Can you even see me without glasses?" He asked.

"I c'n see th't you're st'll ad'r'ble." He answered, not even squinting.

The Finn blushed, smiling awkwardly as he returned the glasses back to Berwald, rubbing his nose against the other's. When suddenly, Tino felt the need to say something. "Hey, Su-San, guess what."

"Hm?"

"I love you."
