Rib was a childhood friend who was close to Soraru, even more than Hashiyan. However, they drifted apart when Soraru started hanging out with Anku and Lon. Eventually, Rib moved to another part of the city, and Suzumu entered their life. Rib's departure had Soraru feeling broken for a while, but they called each other every night until... lack of time and busy schedules made them drift apart even further.
They had been connected through dancing and art and music, and everything Rib loves aligns perfectly with what Soraru loves. When Rib moved back to his area, he tried to connect back with Soraru, but the other male was busy with his relationship with Araki and everything else in his life. They pushed their reunion back a few months, and now, today, was that day.
Rib was looking as gorgeous as usual, his hair all fluffy and ruffled. He was all smiles, too, and Soraru felt a little wistful when he look at the pretty boy. He misses Mafu, somehow, but he pushed the thought away, leaning forward and sighing at the familiarity that Rib brings along with him. "sorry I took so long to meet with you," he says, shrugging his coat off and smiling apologetically at Rib. The dark haired male shrugged in response, squeezing Soraru's hands in reassurance.
"it's quite okay, baby," Rib replies. "Hashiyan filled me in with everything, and baby, you deserve so much more!" Soraru felt tears rising to the surface and gave Rib a watery smile in response. "thanks, boo," he says softly. "where did Hashiyan tell you until?" he inquired, and Rib winced. "everything, including the thing with Suzumu and Lon, and the thing with Mafu," he replies. Soraru flinched at the mention of their names, but Rib tightened his hold around Soraru's hands. "don't feel bad about it, baby, you get me? Hashiyan and me will be with you the whole fucking time, alright?"
Soraru gave a strained smile at that, his heart bursting with adoration for this male in front of him. He had no idea how he managed to score two of the best people as his best friends, but he is sure as hell grateful for it. "thanks," he whispered, and Rib smiles, raising Soraru's hand to his lips to drop a soft kiss on his knuckles. "always welcome," was what he replies, before he lets go of Soraru's hands. It was a habit of Rib's to kiss Soraru's knuckles in a way to calm him down, because when they were kids, he had claimed that he wanted a unique way- his and his only- to calm his best friend down. It was stupid, but it had been a tradition or so for Rib to do just that. Soraru's heart swells slightly with happiness that even though they have been separated for quite some time, Rib still remembers what they do.
The waiter arrives with their drinks, and Rib grins at Soraru as he helped the waiter take their drinks. Soraru glanced up at the water, a thank you just on the tip of his tongue, that is, until he met the eyes of the waiter's.
all words were stolen from his lips.
