Additional note, the author really didn't have to jump into romance and intimacy (the "licking") immediately (again, he's SIX YEARS OLD, I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH)
Like... they could've treated each other as a precious person platonically and develop sumn later on, why couldn't they have done that instead
I love these kinds of tropes but WHY CAN'T PEOPLE GET IT RIGHT?
THE OLDER ONE DOESN'T SEE THE YOUNGER ONE AS A LOVE INTEREST UNTIL THE YOUNGER ONE TURNS INTO AN ADULT AND THE YOUNGER ONE EXPRESSES IT FIRST. Vro it's the only acceptable way, the rest is just YIKES.
Granted they're both fucky-wucky in the head BUT HE'S LITERALLY SIX. SIIIIIIIXXXXX!!!!!!!
