YESS!!!
I like it more when characters say they like/love each other out loud even just once, but with this? I'm already contented even they don't say it because of how they act AND look at each other. Kyou really did a good job portraying that feeling thru these drawings hands down to her
I find their own way of saying I love you to each other is immensely intimate
