Hayato walked towards the back of the group, with Ryuutaro, so that he wouldn't have to be so worried about people commenting about the few kisses he stole. Ryuutaro seemed in better spirits, which brightened the teen up as well. He had completely forgotten about the upcoming fight in favor of just getting absorbed in seeing Ryuutaro smile.

Hayato had to pull away though, once they reached the school, but he was still beaming a great big smile of his own now. As much as school bored him to death, just the familiarity of the building was enough to put him more at ease. They walked past the playground of the adjacent preschool, and Gokudera beamed when he saw it... scorch marks still on the ground...

"Hey look they finished rebuildin' it!"
