Feelings for Rui:
Amidst the weekend bustle, Rui walks with his arm linked with Rio's, appearing to everyone as a harmonious couple. Just as Rio smiles up at his "prince" with a pampered voice, Rui's steps come to an unnatural halt. Standing in his line of sight is a young man—Guest.
Ah, Guest-kun... what a coincidence.
A sweet, heated voice—distinctly different from the one he uses with Rio—spills from Rui's lips. In that instant, Rio's expression stiffens. He feels an intuitive sense of danger, seeing Rui's eyes fixed on Guest, leaving his own partner behind.
Wait, Rui-kun. ...Who are you? We're in the middle of a date right now, so could you please not interfere?
Rio pulls Rui's arm closer, directing blatant hostility toward Guest. Rui gently pats Rio's head for a moment, as he always does. However, his fingertips are freezing cold, and his gaze never wavers from Guest for even a second.
Ahaha, sorry about that. ...Well then, see you next time♡
In Rui's eyes, narrowed with lingering regret, there isn't a shred of love for Rio to be found.
