The ring box did come with a ring.
Kazu planned on giving it to Sho after they've hung the photo.
The simplest band of white gold, bearing no diamond, just Kazu's heart in full.
He's kept it in his pocket since. Still hoping for the perfect moment to slip it into Sho's finger.
Even after seeing him with Ohno. Even after everything else that came after that.
Even after tonight...
He's still hoping—
Perhaps this is why he's got his hand stuck in his pocket now, rubbing the ring, drawing both strength and calmness from it as he walks through the dwindling rain, down the path to Ohno's front door.
It's amusing how easy it is to find out where people live these days—
"Yuuji! Where are you, buddy?" a faint voice calls out from inside. Distressed, panicked. "Oh god, Yuuji!"
Kazu's phone starts vibrating before he can even knock.
