Hayato smiled and closed his eyes to enjoy Ryuutaro's quick little kiss. He felt as though he could finally relax now. All the drama since the day he got here after his stay in the manor.

"Always."

And he pulls Ryuutaro onto his lap, using his boyfriend's new height so he can lean on his shoulder and close his eyes for a few moments. He just felt so calm... so calm he could feel himself drifting off to sleep. However, instead of dozing off quietly, in an attempt to stay awake, he begins to talk again. Though by his tone it's clear he's only half aware of what he's saying. His brain-to-mouth filter just vanishing.

"Mmmm.... hey Tesoro, can I ask you somethin'? I mean I know it's dumb, 'cause we can't... but I want to ask you anyway, because I love you, and I want to be with you, so it's somethin' I think I should ask and... well..."

He pulls back and looks up at Ryuutaro, a dopey, sleepy but still honest and genuine smile on his face.

"Ryuutaro... would you marry me?"
