"Someone else?" Ryuutaro chuckled. "No, nothing like that. There were more important things to take care off back home and even if there had not been, I would not have been interested."

Hayato's relief made Ryuutaro relax as well. Maybe it was stupid to feel possessive of someone who you hadn't actually been dating since your teen years, but Ryuutaro was still pretty happy that apparently they were still kind of together, it appeared. They say that the first love never quite disappears. If that was true then Ryuutaro was fine with it, supposedly.

"Though I the worry is realistic, I suppose." With that he tilted his head, looking at Hayato. It didn't seem like he was or had been taken, but it would be much better to directly hear it.
