Can we talk about Kaxel Grammisgalan hug?
It just makes me insane to see the way Kevin is falling into Axel's arms. And Axel sees this man falling towards him, taking a side step to catch him an it's a literal catching.
The moment of impact, you can clearly see it. He threw himself on him with a bit of force, Axel's shaking. He's literally falling into his arms. They have just won this prize and are all hugging each other and it makes me emotional to think about all Kevin wanting is to fall into (both) his best friends arms.
The way Axel's right arm is straight for a moment, he has to really reach up to get it over Kevin's shoulder and it looks like he doesn't find the right angle at first. I wonder if he went on his tip toes for that hug. Maybe he does look a tiny bit taller before the impact than before Kevin gets to him. So Axel is definitely reaching up. Also that slight bit of hesitance at putting his hand on Kevin's waist.
But he did put his hand on Kevin's waist. Axel's hand has been on Kevin's waist, where it belongs... Sigh.
It's the way Axel's left arm and Kevin's right arm fit so perfectly together like this in length and angle, they look so parallel.
And if we talk about Axel reaching up we definitely have to also talk about Kevin reaching down. I mean he is literally falling, throwing himself against Axel. You could almost call it a stumbling forward. Short steps and not even taking the last because he is sure Axel will catch him and if he falls he is at the right height anyways. I could easily see them hugging like this normally, for an extended period of time. The way their heads and arms and bodies are sorted. Just staying like this for a moment to make the world scream a little less and inhale each other's scents. Kevin would put his head properly down on Axel's shoulder.
And Axel's smile? Of course, they just won. They finally won. It's not that easy to see with the bad quality of the gif but he is so happy. He is so happy with the situation. Has to deal with Kev's energy against him. And he is so happy to catch his best friend like that. Hug him and have him close for the moment just between those two (the third guy already got his hugs after all, I love you Jakob).
Also the way Kevin's hand quickly grabs Axel's shoulder, I just noticed... It almost snaps close around it. Forcing Axel's right side back so the left snaps forwards where his hand is already waiting to catch him back. Forcing impact on one, welcoming him on the other..
Axel doesn't even turn beforehand he lets Kevin push him into the proper position.
For once Axel knows the choreography. It's the one they usually do when no one is watching, I guess that's what makes it easier...
The way he is falling into his arms...
sigh
