[ that name. it shouldn't be fair to have to hear his own goddamn name coming from his crush's mouth, because even just the hint of it has him rooted to his spot, skin prickling for just the chance to hear even more.
his skin burns where hitoshi holds him, despite the fabric of his sleeve in between them. he still doesn't meet the other boy's eyes as he fumbles through his excuse, but rest assured that last bit definitely has him glancing up in clear, honest surprise.
for a long time, he doesn't say anything. his mind gets so cluttered up on that last bit, the rest of him is struggling to catch up to speed. foolishly, he feels a sliver of hope begin to bubble in his gut...
but then he finally processes all that hitoshi's saying and. oh. oh. ]
