[Llewellyn raised a brow at the ‘Obviously!’ as though to patiently suggest that at this point, it was definitely not obvious. He could open his mouth and say that, but he knows Eddie is just about ready to explode into another rambling explanation again.
The kid needed to let it out, as hard as it was to follow sometimes. Holding all that in was going to give the kid heart problems before he was twenty.
So he waited a moment or two, and then listened as another wave of words were thrown his way. All the expected anxiety and panic obvious from the rate and tone of Eddie’s voice. Wow... There was so much to unpack there, the detective needed a minute to run it over in his head a few times. At least he had time, as Eddie took a couple good puffs from his inhaler.]
So... Um... In a state of panic, you acted on impulse and kissed him. Believe it or not, I’ve uh— seen that happen. That seems like a fairly normal emotional response when someone you have feelings for is past the worst of some sort of danger. He might have been shocked because he didn’t expect it, but uh— I believe you should probably try to talk to him to confirm his feelings before you decide he hates you.
[Basically, Llewellyn is saying Stan is right without saying Stan is right.]
To be honest, having observed both of you since — I expect around the time this happened — you’re both rather anxious and miserable over awkwardly avoiding each other. At least if you approach him and find out how he felt, you could make a logical decision on how to progress from there, rather than continue without certainty.
