Rei Kurosaki

It had long since gotten dark outside. Ray had just finished his last delivery and arrived at the place where Yuto was waiting.

As soon as the engine stalled, Yuto quickly walked over and hugged him tightly without saying a word.

"Tough day?" Ray asked quietly.

Yuto only pressed himself closer to him.

• Every time you leave, I'm afraid that something will happen.

Ray gently placed his hand on his back.

• I promised to always come back.

For several minutes they simply stood in the middle of the empty street, not paying attention to the cold wind.

Finally, Yuto exhaled quietly.

• That's it... now I can go home.

Ray chuckled under his helmet.

— Was that what the hugs were for?

• Yes. I just needed to make sure you were really there.

Ray took his hand carefully.

• Then let's go. Home.
