[ Aoba feels secure in where he thinks he stands with Karamatsu. Granted, sometimes he's thrown the occasional curve-ball, but at the end of the day they were soulmates and that made Karamatsu precious. Sometimes, Karamatsu would pull him in or push him away, and he resolved himself to be the one to never make him feel lonely again. He's had enough of that in his life and he doesn't want to contribute to that burden.
In time, Aoba started to feel so comfortable with him that he would dote on him the kind of affection he thought he wanted. A tight hug, a playful nudge or linking arms. It didn't happen all at once, Aoba isn't so clueless as to give a starving man a feast. Go too fast and he could freak out 'no homo'... and he had his own shyness to contend with anyway. But now, he doesn't mind the enthused squeeze on his arm and being led around, even when he stumbles along the way.
Maybe in hindsight, that frozen stare he just got might have been the first clue that something was up. Well, the first that would make him reconsider a lot of other moments too. ]
Wh--You cook? [ This may have been what caused him to stumble in the first place. He's so shocked to hear that Karamatsu can actually feed himself like an adult that he staggered. ]
