Kevin smiled and freed himself from Axel's embrace to climb onto his back. He said, "Let's hurry then; I'd rather spend my time alone with you." Axel was thrilled to hear that, and as he ran toward the Sun Sect, Kevin was filled with emotion.
On one hand, he was eager to learn alchemy and how to create spells; on the other hand, he wanted to be able to always stay with Axel. He had always felt alone in his life, even when surrounded by people, but suddenly that feeling of being just an empty shell had disappeared. All of this was thanks to Axel, who made him discover an avalanche of feelings and emotions completely unknown to him.
Axel heard him sigh and asked what was wrong, but Kevin didn't answer; he just hugged him a little tighter. Axel found his behavior odd but didn't insist; Kevin was allowed to keep things to himself as long as he didn't push him away.
