Dude. (all-gender dude is my fave form of address, sorry) Duuuuuuuuuuude. Allow me to expand a bit. :D
I am watching for the first time round, while trying to avoid spoilers, but also rewatching and lingering as I go, because I already feel like I don't want it to be over. (Am at ep 28 right now and things are getting TENSE.)
And I feel like the Scene with the Orange in ep 26 (basically the very opening scene, ignore the bit with the crows, and then the scene after that, which are one moment) is giving us a fantastic, emotionally charged baseline for the relationship, from which things are going to ramp up.
There is NOTHING HAPPENING in this scene that is plot-related, nothing that needs to happen, and I want to build a house in this scene and live inside it. To jog your memory: they get home, find out SW's apartment has been broken into and set somewhat on fire (not that SW was living there anyway, koff), strategize on ZYL's couch for a bit, and then SW goes into the kitchen to delicately cut up an orange for ZYL.
When he comes back, he's on the point of calling out to him, then stops--and stares--his gaze is open and vulnerable and loving--and we see that ZYL has fallen asleep. SW comes to sit with him, actually sits on the CORNER OF THE COFFEE TABLE as if he's ZYL and has forgotten how to comport himself politely, and just stares with utter heart eyes at ZYL, who looks soft and tired and lovely in his sleep. Then SW gets out his pendant and stares at ZYL some more, and smiles. OH and also SW covers him with his own grey suit jacket, just to make him more comfortable. <3
The whole thing lasts about three minutes and all it needs is some music to turn into a fanvid.
