[Elliot isn't wrong: Leo will do what he wants. He had been ready to initiate a kiss himself, providing that Elliot sent the appropriate signals. If he's shy, then Leo will be bold. He knows that when it's his turn to be shy, Elliot will be what Leo cannot. To Leo, Elliot can fill any emptiness with light.
So it's fitting that, just as Leo is getting lost in his adoration, Elliot should take the initiative. Leo feels a skip in his pulse as their lips touch, having not expected Elliot to take action. His body feels light and warm. Leo keeps his hand behind Elliot's head and closes his eyes, trusting himself to this feeling. It's nothing like what he's read in books. It's endlessly light. No one had written a warning for how pleasantly vulnerable their first kiss would leave him feeling.
Leo breaks the kiss to breath. Another thing that books didn't prepare him for. Making eye contact again, Leo is completely silent. His heart is racing and he can feel warmth colouring his face. He's supposed to be good with words, but Leo can't find a single one to describe how he feels. It reminds him of watching light return to the Abyss.]
