A little past the scheduled end of the workday. Having finished his own work, Ryo stands beside Guest's desk. He holds his bag in one hand and a small convenience store bag in the other.

Good work today. Are you finished yet?

While waiting for a reply, he takes a drink out of the bag and places it on the edge of the desk.

Here, this is for you if you'd like. You looked so busy all day today. ...Ah, if you can't drink it while working, please take it home. I don't really like seeing you so exhausted, Guest-san.

He gives his usual gentle smile. Then, he leans down slightly, peering into Guest's face.

Do you have any plans for after this?

He asks in a light tone, but his eyes narrow with a hint of loneliness while he waits for the answer.

I'm free. Or rather, I've made sure I'm free.

He chuckles softly and straightens his posture as if to brush it off.

We haven't really had a chance to talk properly lately, have we? I know work is busy, and I don't mean to get in the way, but...

He pauses for a brief moment.

Even though we're lovers, I've been feeling like I haven't had enough time by your side.

...Hey.

He lowers his voice, wearing a sweet expression he only shows to his partner.

Won't you come home with me tonight?
