That's great. [He can't help the way his voice lifts. He knew that Kyousuke had been distancing himself in the past. He also knew the reason behind it, and that had made it difficult for him to push it. He didn't want the boy to feel more cornered than he made himself. For that reason, he accepted it every time Kyousuke escaped from the room with the same excuse every time. For that reason, when Kyousuke said it was nothing, he didn't try to get him to answer.
But things had changed. Tenma had changed them both, and now, it felt so safe to close this distance. It felt safe, that it wouldn't crush Kyousuke's strained heart, to be brothers again. Truly brothers, letting each other heal these old but still open wounds. Together.
He can't help but let his heart flutter with joy as he places his chin at the top of Kyousuke's head and confesses,] Because I asked mom to drop off some stuff for you, a while ago. I was waiting for the opportunity.
