[He realized it the moment the boy started speaking. The readied meal, the box presented to him, Hakuryuu's attitude. The date.
His words only confirm that hunch, and blue eyes are slightly wide as they meet the boy's deep magenta, lips slightly parted as they fall out of their usual careful knit.
He knew what he was to Hakuryuu legally. He knew that he had to write in his surname when adopting the boy on paper. He was his guardian, the one who held custody over him. His parent.
This is for you. For Father's Day.
All that he needed was for Hakuryuu to accept this house and be comfortable enough to live his life. For the boy not to be in fear. For him to have enough freedom to choose his life. He would do everything to ensure that level of happiness. Until, one day, Hakuryuu can find a place to call his own...
He never expected to be thanked in this way, with those words, on this day, but as is sinks in that this truly is happening, he feels warmth spread through him, blossoming from his chest and reaching out.
He also reaches out, kneeling with one knee on the couch beside his 'son,' arms wrapping around his shoulders and tugging him close in a soft embrace.]

Thank you, Hakuryuu. This is-- it's really nice.
