[ The way that Chris admires the ring has Kaito wondering whether he should give a little laugh or pull him back down for a kiss. It must really mean more to Chris than he'd expected, and it's a little worrying, but there's no taking it back or backing down now. What's done is done, and Kaito gets to deal with it. Then again 'dealing with it' sounds a bit too negative for the situation.
... especially when Kaito's being handed a similar box, and in a fit of feeling like a giddy schoolgirl being asked out on a date by her crush, Kaito feels a lump in his throat forming - just for a moment though. He forces it down as he takes the box and opens it, and seeing the dragon pattern, he can't help but actually smile. He feels silly for it, but as he runs his finger over the design, he shakes his head a bit. ]
And we have similar tastes in metal.
[ It's a bit sickeningly sweet, how they seem to have had the same sort of thought for a gift this year - same intention (from what Kaito can tell) and even the same choice in type of ring, the metal it's made from, the decision against engraving something in it. And with a bit of a sigh, Kaito closes the box and places it back in his hand before he turns his head away and rests his chin in his palm, elbow on the table. With a second of Kaito being uncertain, he clenches his left hand into a fist, then extends his fingers and lifts that same hand for Chris.
If it's that important to Chris, then he'll wear it too. He'll likely take it off doing some things to make sure he doesn't lose it or damage it, but... he supposes he can do it. For Chris. ]
Go on, then.
[ There's a sidelong glance from Kaito up at Chris, urging him to get on with it, to put the ring on him and let them move on before Kaito gets the bright idea to push Chris down to the kitchen floor and have his with right there after a week of being pushed aside for... one of Kaito's closest friends. (Not that he would ever admit that he and Shark are that close.) All the same, Kaito lets out a quiet hum and turns his head a little further to hide his smile at the realization of just how happy this all would make Chris. And the belated birthday date that he has planned as well? That will more than make up for things, he feels. ]
