[Something changes, it's a small shift in the air between them, but it's not. Bad. At first Reyes isn't sure what it is until Balthier is pulling him in close as well and hides his face in his shoulder. The catch of his breath, the way he holds him...
Reyes is quiet even though he could say something, but it doesn't feel like the right thing to do in the moment. So he doesn't, he'll hold Balthier tighter in turn, give him a reassuring squeeze and turns his face to press a kiss against the side of his lover's head. There's a lot not being said here and he'll trust that when Balthier is ready he'll tell him what that is, but for now he's not going to let him go, because me meant what he said.
He's so lucky that Balthier is his. That Balthier loves him. Lucky that Balthier took a chance on him, because if not they'd still just be friends and as rewarding as his friendship also was, Reyes wouldn't trade what they have now for anything.
