[Hikaru always manages to be impressed by Taichi. When he puts his mind to something, he can accomplish a lot. Hikaru had seen it for himself countless times. He smiles and thinks back on everything Taichi has done here. From getting his own apartment to getting his own theater...Taichi had done so much.

Yet as Tsumugi continues, Hikaru sighs.]

Yeah, yeah... [It had been the same for him when Kaoru left. Taichi had been a huge help but he hadn't been Kaoru. Hikaru assumed it was similar. But the way his heart clenches that Taichi hadn't stopped thinking about him makes him groan.] Ugh, stupid sentimental idiot. [Ah, shit. That sounds kind of mean? He looks to Tsumugi, sheepish. Most times Hikaru has some type of persona up but right now this is just him.] I don't really mean it. Not like that. He just...ugh, he always catches me off guard with how much he loves me. Always has. Even when we were just friends.
