[Linhardt approaches and moves into his space, and it's only when Linhardt closes his eyes and leans in that Hubert realizes what's about to happen. Some part of him is aware he should stop this - is this for show? is this what Linhardt wants? isn't this going too far? - but ultimately, he finds himself frozen in place. It's a quick, gentle kiss that has Linhardt moving away immediately, before Hubert can even figure out how he feels about it - or about the fact that it just happened.
Is this what it's all been building to? Is this where they've been headed this whole time? Has all of this actually ended with Linhardt falling for him, of all damn people? Surely not, that can't possibly be what's happened here.
His heart pounds and it drowns out everything else; he's not even sure Linhardt's actually spoken, but he can recognize that his (friend? boyfriend?) isn't taking it well. Maybe Linhardt didn't realize this would go like this. Maybe he thought it was what they needed to do for show or...
At this point, he's fairly sure he's no longer thinking straight. He's been silent this entire time, eyes wide and a deep flush having taken hold sometime after Linhardt backed up, and Hubert knows he needs to say something, but what do you even say to something like this? What do you say when you don't even know how you feel about it?]

...I see.
