Summary: Ryu has something he wants to give Hayato.
A/N: Written as a drabble for
raziel_gauin from a convo while watching Gokusen 2
Out of sight of everyone after speaking to Yankumi on graduation day, Ryu pulls Hayato aside.
"I...erm...have..." he begins, figeting with his jacket buttons. Hayato notices there's one missing and his eyebrows shoot into his hairline. "I have something for you," Ryu finishes, his head bowed. It's like he can't quite look Hayato in the eye.
"It's your button, right?" Hayato guesses, causing Ryu's head to snap up in surprise.
"How...?"
"I know you, Ryu. I also know what it means to you," Hayato replies, his tone soft as he looks into Ryu's eyes. He's not sure if he should take it, knowing that it would mean a change in their relationship. Hayato doesn't know if he could handle that, but he's willing to risk it. For Ryu.
He holds out his hand and Ryu drops the button into it, biting his lip as he does so, as if he expected Hayato to refuse it. Hayato has a further surprise in store for him, however. "Hold out your hand," he says, a small smirk hovering over his lips.
Ryu complies in confusion, without even thinking of the consequences, then almost flinches as Hayato drops his own button into his palm and closes Ryu's fingers over it. "You're my most important person, you know that, right?" he asks, almost afraid of the response he'll get. He should know better than that.
The smile that breaks over Ryu's face is something he hasn't seen in a while and it makes him smile in return. Ryu used to smile like that before...before their fight. He has to admit that was the stupidest thing he's ever done in a lifetime of stupid things, but he hopes to make it up to Ryu.
"Ha...." Ryu nods and his smile grows. "I know."
Their relationship
will change, Hayato knows that, but it will grow and morph into something better than ever and he wouldn't change it for the world.
