Ken blinked at Yohji in surprise. "What? Oh." He shrugged and waved it off, his eyes sliding away.
"Just been a long, uh, week. But you know that. Of course." He took a steady breath so he wouldn't sound so desperate to believe his own statement.
"But hey! You! You and Ran! That's great!" He put his hands in his apron pockets and let his face relax into a smile. He was going to have to be really careful. It would be awful to do anything to destroy the careful balance that had been so painstakingly made.
And he was getting better at keeping his instabilities on a leash. There were a few tense moments, but he was improving overall.
(Sure Hidaka. You want a gold star for your efforts? Christ, you see how they're watching you now, don't you?)
"I'm glad it all worked out for you."
(Even now he can't get comfortable around you. He probably can't stand to be alone with you too long, who knows what will set you off?)
"You'll be good for each other, you know, now that he finally realizes how awesome you are." Ken said with amiable sarcasm, forcing a tiny laugh that was only spoiled by the finger rubbing at his temple.
(It's only a matter of time, Hidaka, and you know it. You can't lock me down forever. You. Aren't. Strong. Enough.)
