It took Crow a second to register the fact that Rean was blushing, but when he did his expression naturally took on a teasing smile and shine, his mouth forming the words and opening to voice it before he even gave it permission, "I want to be with you, too, in all sorts of different ways and positions. ♥"

And then he closed his trap and very nearly bit his own tongue because now was not the time for sexual innuendos and teasing his poor little boy...friend? Old habits were hard to tear himself away from and teasing Rean just came so naturally that he couldn't help himself.

After clearing his throat, he waved his hand in the air vaguely and moved away from the desk. "For however long this lasts," he paused only to walk around his desk and over to Rean, raising a hand to ruffle Rean's hair in a touch that was way more tame than any lover would've given their significant other, "I look forward to working with you again."

Of course he wouldn't promise Rean never to hide something like that from him again. Crow was already planning things out with people all around Erebonia to tears his own organization apart and nothing that Duke Cayenne does could even begin to stop it. But, for now, he could pretend that everything was fine and that he wasn't planning on leaving again once everything was over.
