@sparkinglove continued from here.
There had been a certain bit of nervousness to him as he had done it - even if their friendship was pretty strong and their relationship even stronger (or at least - he liked to think so, even if their relationship was relatively new) - navigating things like this was as terrifying as it could be exhilarating at times - in spite of what his warm and open demeanor might cause others to think, Ryuji...wasn't actually used to showing such open affection to others, especially...especially anyone that he was with. He...really cared about Ren - beyond just not wanting him to be cold - this was...a tentative first step, a caring gesture - in his own way.
As he shyly managed to look up at Ren - at his boyfriend, any doubt or fear he might have felt in that moment faded seeing the look in Ren's eyes - the genuine appreciation and warmth. "Heh, that so...?" His voice still betrays his own shyness in comparison but even so, he tries to match Ren's smoothness.
He has to admit, he's curious to know what exactly Ren has in mind and soon enough - he feels Ren hugging him closely - Ren's hands around his waist and Ren's face only inches away from his own. He knows he must be flushing as red as a tomato - but deep down, he's also incredibly happy and as he manages to bob his head up and down - once, twice - he leans in closer - happily hugging Ren close. "This is just great..." He manages, his voice a surprising soft whisper. "I-I don't mind this at all..."
