Gokudera just smiled and closed his eyes feeling the warm hand holding his, but the smile was brief. It only took a few moments before the events at his father's house came flooding back to him and his eyes started to water.

"Ryuutaro... he... I... I'm not...."

He held Ryuutaro's hand tighter. He was unwanted... he was such a horrible person that his father couldn't even speak to him as though he was a person. Why was he so horrible that he couldn't be loved... why couldn't he have a family?

Shamal was about to put up a fuss when he saw Hayato's emotional state. He figured it would be better to just leave him in his lover's hands until he calmed down. He didn't like to get into these sorts of matters.
