[There's a moment when Chris isn't sure Kaito will do it--it's that look, probably, which Chris would have found amusing most other times but right now is just nerve-wracking because this is a situation where he might actually mean it--and he isn't sure he actually wants Kaito to do it after all. No matter what Kaito had written in his note (which he agreed with) or how comfortable they were living together or the fact that they had thought of the same thing, it's a little fast and this is a very big symbolic step...which was the idea, but that didn't mean it was easy.
But then Kaito's taking his hand and there isn't even a moment to breathe much less worry (though that could have been because of the way Kaito slides their hands together and then the way he kisses his fingertips once he's done, he did like to take advantage of that). And by the time Kaito lets his hand go, in seems silly to have been worried in the first place; in fact, watching the ring catch the light and how nice it looks on his finger, he's quite interested in shoving Kaito back and showing him just how much he likes this particular gift--maybe if there was a place to shove Kaito back against that wasn't another chair.]
Thank you.
[And it's quite pretty enough without anything engraved in it, not to mention anything he can think of would be horribly sappy and this is already sappy enough. Not that he's above being more sentimental than Kaito--there's a present under the tree that can attest to that--but it doesn't seem right in this case.]
It seems we were thinking alike on that too...
[He wiggles his fingers to watch the light catch on more time and then reaches into his pocket to pull out Kaito's gift: a little, dark blue box that couldn't be for anything other than a ring or earrings, but in this case it's a ring, tungsten with a dragon pattern. And much as he'd like to put it on Kaito's finger in turn, there's no saying Kaito would want that, so he holds it out for Kaito to take and decide.]

I didn't think it needed any engravings either.
