Ryuutaro paused. He'd noticed the beginning of the nickname shining through before, but now he couldn't really ignore it anymore. "An old habit that lasted very long it seems." And he couldn't say he wasn't satisfied. After all of these years, all of these years without him, Hayato would still easily refer to him in such a way. Despite their forced separation, he'd made that deep of an impact on the other man. Ryuutaro's heartbeat sped up a bit. This was awkward, difficult and not the kind of situation anybody could give you advice for, but.
"I do not mind it, however. Do you?" It might be unclear what their relation one... it might be foolish to just assume they could go on where they left off, now that they were diffeerent people... But still despite all that, Ryuutaro was willing to give it a try. He might regret it, but he would definitely regret just ignoring this now. 'Must be fate, eh?' Ryuutaro had to agree. Of course, it had been fate all along. So now the next question was, in what kind of situation it'd put Hayato. He had complimented him earlier and seemed happy to see him, but that was no clear indicator on what his current situation was. Especially not since this was an overemotional and therefore irrational moment. Ryuutaro felt a bit of hypothetical jealousy arise, but he quickly tried to shake it off again.
