[ his heart nearly stops when m'gann touches his cheek, because it wasn't until about five seconds ago that he had any idea how much he really likes this girl, superboy's glaring looks be damned. he tries to laugh off any awkwardness, smiling reassuringly back at her. ]
Better.
[ he hesitates for a split second. he could kiss her — almost does — but he doesn't. ]
Thank you.
[ it occurs to him then that he still doesn't actually remember zatanna, but he doesn't want to worry her about it right now. it seems like she's put herself through enough just doing this for him. ]
[ better. better. overcome with relief and joy, m'gann can't help but draw him into a hug, and while it might not be a kiss, it's definitely all-encompassing enough that he can't hope to get out of it any time soon. ]
[ he isn't exactly expecting the hug, but there's no way he doesn't appreciate it. he's a pretty huggy person himself, after all. he hugs her back, squeezing lightly. he could let himself indulge in this affection, but they should probably get going... ]
We should probably head back now, it's getting late.
