Breaking Dawn Part 2 Premiere : The Return of Robsten

It is the first time they have appeared in public together since the couple's infamous cheating scandal just a few months ago .

Was there noticeable tension? Touching? Big smiles? Analyze this photo of Rob and Kristen now!

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were back together last night in Los 

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart had their public reunion at the world premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" on Monday night in Los Angeles. The two were cozy, even though they separated mere moments after stepping foot on the carpet to do press.

Still, we caught Stewart caressing Pattinson's back as they stood together in front of throngs of fans and media.

First, the couple arrived in separate SUVs that pulled up at the same time and, as Yahoo!'s Michael Yo observed, "Everybody knows who's getting out of them." They stepped out separately -- yet near -- then came together to pose for photos arm and arm while among studio executives.

Before they scooted further along the carpet in the midst of a crowd of people, Stewart was seen saying something quickly to Pattinson then cracking a quick smile. Posing for cameras again, arm and arm, Stewart brushed her hand against Pattinson's back, giving him an ever-so-slight-yet-loving squeeze. Then the couple parted to do more press, but not before giving each other a quick acknowledgment.

We spoke with body language expert Dr. Lillian Glass, who noted it was impressive that Stewart has become the "affectionate aggressor" in the relationship. On the black carpet, Pattinson and Stewart "look very relaxed around one another and she rubs his back which shows she is  supportive of him and affectionate unlike she has been in the past," Glass said. "He has been the affectionate one in the past and now she has reversed her role. She knew that he was going to be interviewed first so the back rub was a good luck to him and a signal of support and affection."

Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 - Tickets for the November 16 release have already grossed more than $1 million.

Tickets went on sale Monday (October 1), and as of late Tuesday, the film had already grossed $1.17 million in presales, E! News reports. That's up 87 percent in sales from 2011's $626,000 for "Breaking Dawn -- Part 1." It's further reported that a lot of those sales are tied to those purchasing tickets to "The Twilight Saga" marathon, which allows fans to screen all the flicks before the final one opens on November 16.

Earlier this year, the "Hunger Games" made similar headlines for selling out showings of the film ahead of its May 23 release date. Noted at the time was the fact that "Eclipse" broke the first-day advance-sales record back on May 14, 2010.

"Breaking Dawn -- Part 2" will kick off its official promo tour on October 6, with stops slated right through opening day. The cast, including Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and additional cast members will make promotional stops around the world including Australia, Brazil, Denmark, England, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Norway, Scotland, Spain and South Africa. The film will premiere in Los Angeles on November 12 at the Nokia Theater.

The stars are however already out promoting the film, and have opened up to MTV News about the bonus scene screening during the credits of the Bill Condon-directed flick. "If it's what I think it is, it's really awesome. It was a surprise moment on set that was pretty incredible," Nikki Reed told MTV News, teasing the all-cast dance number previously mentioned by her co-stars. "That day, there were about 150 of us, and we all came together and surprised Bill, so I hope it's that thing," Reed said. "It took a couple of practice runs [for us to learn it], and we had one drill sergeant who was in charge of gathering everyone. I got really into it. I was so into it that I wanted to be in the front row."
