This was really different from his visions after all, Ryuutaro thought. What he got where cryptic messages, a code of fate, things he could so easily get wrong... This was nothing like that. It was all in front of him, right in front of him. If he moved and reached out, nothing would fade away. No flash of white to take him back into the past, not yet. In all his years as a fortune-teller, a gifted one, Ryuutaro had paid the thought of what was going to happen to himself amazingly little thought. He had been fine with small things, good or bad, irrelevant omens and knowing he was on the general track of fate. Now he had it all written out, in direct view. How he was going to look when he was older, how he would dress, what kind of places he would be at... who he would be with. On their first meeting he had made just such a simple and everyday prediction. Telling people they would find someone for them, that special encounter coming up... It was what he did. He had told people countless times, because that was how life was. What he could see and others couldn't. Fate. In the end it turned out that the person who's future he had been most oblivious to was himself. Ryuutaro could see everyone's future, the fate of the world, but his own had just crashed into his life without warning. Looking back, Ryuutaro wouldn't have wanted it any other way. It had been so hard, everything had been, even only days before.. and he wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Ryuutaro hadn't thought about the oddness of it all for a long time already, but now he just smiled silently to himself 'Strange, isn't it?' Because it was.
His hand matched Hayato's in tightening the grip. For a while he said nothing. His eyes were just looking at the pictures over and over. He didn't seem like he would lose his eccentric nature anywhere in the next ten years, albeit his looks varied. His make-up did and on one of the recent pictures it seemed almost shockingly subtle. Future. It seemed like they wouldn't change a lot though... and then again they would. Ryuutaro was a patient person, but right now he couldn't wait.
"We look happy." It was obvious, but what did he care? "Being able to see the future is nice, isnt it?"
