[ Every part of what's said next is so unexpected that Aguero isn't sure he's heard properly. Maybe he's gone deaf? His eyes are wide and blue, a sky without clouds. He doesn't understand and his heart contracts tightly in his chest.
Love?
The expression on his face is the same as the one he had at the bath, when Tatara first took his hand and told him the one thing he's always wanted to hear without knowing it. Awestruck, at a loss for words, entirely thrown off balance.
Instinctively his reflex is to pull away (like he did at the bath, pulling back his hand), but that fails him here. If he were going to leave that would have happened some odd time ago when he felt like he was useless and that there was no point being here. But there is a point—Tatara likes him and wants him to say. No, he loves him.
That word makes him feel dumbstruck And so very warm. ]
