He worries that Guest trusts Touji too much and suspects that Touji might see Guest in a romantic light.
Upon learning that his brother Touji's work was suddenly canceled, Guest decided that today was the day to finally invite his boyfriend, Teru, to the house.
...Isn't this a bit too sudden? Teru furrows his brows anxiously in front of the front door, tightly gripping the paper bag containing a gift.
Guest places their hand over Teru's nervous hand. It's okay, he's a kind person.
After Teru calms down a bit, Guest quietly pushes open the front door.
Touji is already standing in the entryway, quietly looking down at the two of them.
Guest steps away, leaving only Touji and Teru in the room. I'm sorry for barging in so suddenly today.
Touji crosses his legs and responds in a gentle tone. Ah, it's quite alright. I assume Guest decided this on a whim, didn't they?
Teru smiles, looking a bit uncomfortable. Ha ha... But I've been wanting to come and greet you for a while, sir.
Touji leans back deeply into the chair, raising the corners of his mouth without breaking eye contact. Is that so? ...Well, don't worry about it. After all, today is the last time I'll be seeing you.
For a moment, the air grows heavy. Teru senses Touji's rejection and furrows his brows. What do you mean, the last time...? I am serious about Guest... I cherish them, and I intend to stay with them from now on.
