i'm sorry but he's not going to do what luca does he's just going to do a few things in quick succession before his brain catches up to his body:
1) turn bright red 2) squeeze luca's hand suddenly out of surprise 3) choked noise/gasp-lean back combo 4) forget any language. every language. anything even vaguely resembling language.]
[finally, he finds his tongue, if only because he's worried that he's offended luca? that's not what he wants to do at all. but he's still shortcircuiting a little.
so he looks away for a second, still red all the way up to his ears, before he shakes his head and tries to make eye contact again. gotta be direct!]
I don't... mean to offend or anything, it's just—
[wow!
he uses his free hand to thump against his chest like he's trying to stop his heart from going a mile a minute]
[THE FACT THAT HE IS SO SINCERELY REASSURING LUCA THAT IT'S FINE because he really thinks it's just a greeting is ending me. he runs a hand through his hair, as if trying to shake the weird feeling away.

[but he does it anyway, clapping his hand into luca's and giving it a firm shake]

[He shakes Mineo's hand a couple times, and then he keeps holding onto the hand as he leans in to do the cheek-kiss greeting. Left, then right.
If they bump into each other it's fine, Mineo is just learning how to do it.]

That is how we greet people we are on friendly terms with. Is it not to your liking?

Not... good for - my heart....
[LOSER. BIG LOSER.]

Luca is also a loser here though, because he can't help but find this adorable.]
Ahh, is that so? I didn't know a greeting would elevate your heart rate to such a point that it was bad for you. My apologies.
[The devious part of him wants to charm Mineo thoroughly. Even if that might take some time, it will totally be worth it.]

is he still blushing? yes. irrelevant.]
It was just - really cute—
[NO, mineo tells himself, YOU GOTTA FOCUS]
Anyway! I'll - work up to that!
no subject
[He heard Mineo just fine. He just wants Mineo to call him cute again.
I'm sorry for this garbage man and his garbage ways.]
no subject
however mineo is too honest so he's just flustering]
I - It's not like I was thinking you were cute or anything!
[idiot]
no subject
Covers his face with his hand.
He can't let Mineo see how much the cute tsundere act is making him flustered.]
Ah. Alright then.
[This is horrible. He's so doomed.]
