[ Vanitas doesn't remember feeling so warm whenever he saw Noé smile. Maybe that little one day stint of pretending to date did something to him - helped him see his best and only friend in a light he hadn't considered before. A part of him really wishes that he could make Noé this happy, which is a thought he hasn't had up until now.
It's why, once Noé's finished, Vanitas' expression is gentle. When they're ready to leave, he's quick to take the other's hand again. He's never going to be as sweet as tarte tatin, but he shows his affection in other ways, like making sure Noé doesn't get lost. Worrying about him when they get separated. Telling him about the world. And now, holding hands. ]
