I love the conversation about the photo shoot… idk why, need you to articulate it.
Well, I will certainly try my best...
What I love about the photo shoot conversation is that it's so effortless. Michael doesn't have to preface it with any sort of explanation or rationalization for what he was feeling, because David just knows. And they both immediately give the impression that David knew during the shoot as well, and that his instinctive response was to soften the experience for Michael. It's that David saw Michael's frustration and discomfort as an externalized version of what he was also feeling and it triggered that response in him where his desire, his need to help overrode his own sense of helplessness. It's that seeing Michael not hiding the things that David always felt he had to hide sparked in David the idea that maybe he didn't have to hide after all. Maybe he could finally be open about certain things, as long as Michael is there with him.
It's that they could be so honest with each other so immediately, without any sense of hesitation or uncertainty, because they were so simpatico from early on. It's the flush of giddy excitement at knowing that someone just gets you and is right where you are, following along and encouraging you not to hold back. It's that I think that was something both Michael and David desperately needed at that time, even if they didn't know it. Falling in love not with violent passion, but with gradual, intense friendship that's just starting to deepen into something more.
I also love that this conversation became the foundation for what we saw all through the GO press tour interview, of Michael saying aloud the same things David was thinking. That this "honest version of what I'm thinking" transformed first into Michael speaking for both of them--giving voice and life to everything David felt but couldn't articulate--and now four years later transforming again into David saying these things himself. Finding that courage to become so vocal about the things that matter to him as a result of everything that's happened since 2019--not the least of which is him and Michael becoming so much closer than they already were.
It's that the newlywed phase (as @climb-dtennant-like-a-tree so perfectly put it) has ended and deepened into something that fills every part of David, that tells him that even when they are apart, Michael is still there with him. Loving him. And always willing to be his attack dog when he needs him.
So that is why i love the photo shoot conversation. I hope this is something close to what you were looking for @fangirl-muse...

Something that I really love that they showed in the Engage manga is just how supportive Lumera is 😭 💗
Like we already knew from the game that she’d be/was a supportive mom but the manga showed that she was also Alear’s hype woman

when my otp isn't officially dating (but I know they're totally in love with each other & it's too obvious) and they go undercover as 'lovers' to steal an important asset, and the antagonist is suspicious that they aren't who they're pretending to be and they accuse them, so my otp has to kiss passionately to prove their love to the antagonist to let the plot develop:

Something I forgot to post on here was that I finally got to meet Marc Thompson in person, and I even got the opportunity to gift him a print of my art! He’s super super nice, by the way!!
Fun fact: when voicing Valon and Raphael, he was also doing narration work for books, and he recorded all their lines separately; he’d have to take a couple hours for Valon and Raphael.
