Suguru feels just a little anxious under Satoru's heavy gaze and the silence. He can tell he's trying to remember, and he hates to admit how hopeful it makes him feel.
He stares back for just as long, trying to recall all of the memories he has of them together, as much as it pains him, with the hope that the other man will get a glimpse of them behind his own eyes. Maybe, he will see himself tucking dark, silky strands of hair behind a pierced ear with the utmost tenderness. See how their bodies fit perfectly together, see how his fingers fill the gaps between his like puzzle pieces when they intertwine holding hands.
The man that is the moon hold his breath. He sees recognition there, and his throat suddenly feels so thick in his neck everything gets lodged in it.
As soon as it comes, it flickers out. Suguru doesn't realise how tightly he's holding his mug until it clatters lightly against the table from the tremble in his hand. He releases the breath he was holding, as well as the mug when the man sitting across from him shuts his eyes and ruffles his hair, and he looks away for a second to gather himself. But his attention is caught back immediately when the other pulls out the shades and slips them on. He blinks, confused, and the explanation feels like such a stab in the heart Suguru isn't able to breathe for the next few seconds.
He tries really hard not to make a pained expression, he really does, but his brows do twitch ever so slightly as it sinks in and he realises just how unnecessarily cruel that it. The light of life, the sun himself... Burnt too bright he's even sensitive to his own radiance. It doesn't help his pain when Satoru quips about his past life ; that makes Suguru's lips purse and hum to conceal a small whimper.
« Maybe, » he answers, trying to play it cool. « You don't seem too bad, though. » His smile is small, eyes downcast in what would be a bashful gesture were it not for the melancholy around him.
Gojo. Right. Surnames... He wonders how it's spelt, what it means and whether it suits him. It already doesn't, since he shouldn't have one to begin with, but he supposes it's all part of the punishment, isn't it ?
« Geto Suguru, » he answers after releasing a small breath through his nose. He really is still the same...
« You must have been staring back to notice. I can't be blamed for looking at those eyes, » he says, pointing vaguely at the eyes hiding behind tinted glasses with his coffee spoon. « You are the one that's come to sit at my little table, talking about looking familiar. Maybe from your dreams ? » He asks, a bit of a tease, a bit of a prod.
