[ Oh, and Dr. Faker likely wouldn't be pleased with Kaito's choice here either - to embrace the idea of marriage or to whom he's doing it with, likely with something to do about making a good impression on Haruto. But Haruto is (mostly) aware of what the two of them have been through, and Kaito's seen the way Haruto smiles when Kaito and Chris are together, leaning against each other on the couch or even just letting their legs touch or fingers brush for a moment. And honestly, Faker stopped having a say in Kaito's life years ago, and no amount of him sucking up to Kaito now is going to make up for it. He's civil for the most part but--
This isn't even the time to be thinking of that, because he's feeling the cool metal sliding onto his finger and he can't help but turn his head to look and watch it be put on the rest of the way. And Kaito's actually trying to fight back the smile - it's not even that the act means so much, nor does the ring itself, but more... the fact that Chris seems to like it so much. It means a lot to him, and Kaito can appreciate it for that at least.
Before he knows it, there are lips against his knuckles, and Kaito shakes his head briefly before letting out a quiet sigh. If they're meant to kiss, if Chris really wants to turn this into some obscenely private ceremony in their kitchen, then Kaito supposes he can allow him that much, especially after the past few months. ]
Then let me make this easier on you.
[ With that, Kaito curls his fingers tightly around Chris's, using his grip partially as leverage to pull himself up as he stands. Once he's standing straight, he takes a quick glance around and lowers their hands, though he turns his own to press his palm against Chris's as he reaches up with his other hand to run his fingers through Chris's hair. Slowly, he pushes his fingers between Chris's and curls his fingers around the back of his neck at the same time, and he pulls Chris closer. The moment their lips touch, Kaito squeezes their hands as well, and though the pushier kisses are the more common ones, for Chris's sake he's letting this one be slow and gentle, but deep all the same, fingernails scratching lightly at the back of Chris's head.
At the very least, Kaito isn't pushing for more like he wants to, and maybe, just maybe, there's a hint of a smile on Kaito's lips as he's kissing Chris, a quiet hum escaping him as well. So maybe there's nothing too bad about this after all, if it means having an excuse to kiss Chris like this more often. He just can't be seen as soft or he'll start actually being soft. And as long as there are certain people he has to look out for and look after, he can't allow that. ... But he can have this moment, absolutely. ]
