Hayato Reached up to stroke Ryuutaro's cheek, though he hesitated for a moment. Just a moment. Ryuutaro wouldn't push him away for this.

"It's nothing you need to worry about."

He was dead-set on keeping his burden to himself. Ryuutaro had enough going on as it was, he didn't need someone leaning on him for support. He forces a little smile on his face and pushes himself up to give Ryuutaro a peck on the cheek.

"I love you."

It was important for him to say. Ryuutaro knew something was wrong, and he would know that he wasn't telling him... so just letting him know that he loved him... it felt right. Maybe as an apology...
