[It's all fun and romance until your zombie friend tries to actually eat you irl, which will definitely not happen at any point ever, so why worry about it.
Wow, though, that's GAY. Levity's subconscious definitely reacts to Absinthe's more obvious enjoyment of his heart and the tender touch to his face. The atmosphere shifts again; he's more flustered now, and even though he does know he's pretty drawn to Absinthe (even if in a different way than he is to Lily and D.Va, though these days it's coming dangerously close to an overlap at times), it's still embarrassing to actually think about it! He's not even sure Absinthe actually likes him back that much, and though Levity is naive, it's not to the point where he is fine with a power imbalance, however subtle.
As though prompted by that, his earlier musings return: a different kind of attraction to Absinthe, a benevolent desire to pick the man apart and know how he works and why, and maybe put him back together to be happier than he is, smooth out those strange differences between Ardyn and Absinthe, or at least know where they come from. Maybe in someone else that would suggest treating Absinthe as a mechanism, a toy of sorts, but Levity can't not care about people, and so there is a gentleness to the desire; an interest and determination not unalike to that of, perhaps, a doctor faced with a new patient with an unknown disease. The same probing at possible causes, examination of their behaviour, theories constructed and ruled out.]
