40 40 GINNAN'S CURIOSITY

{"It's my fault, let's just say so,"} Renji said. 

{"What?"} asked Haru. In his seat he looked up and met Renji's eyes. 

{"I left you 3 days. Then it all happened."} 

{"…"}

Haru never blamed Renji in the slightest. He hugged the man before being strong enough to face everything. Back then, maybe he had never imagined falling in love with Renji in the slightest. However, after it really happened… 

Renji remained the center of his world. During the procession, Haru only kissed Rose's forehead as a formality. Then as soon as it ended, behind him he immediately took off his coat as if he had just had an allergy.
