[Gentaro shifts closer, and Hifumi closes his eyes, bowing his head and pressing their foreheads together. It's light, but Hifumi seeks the slightest touch of warmth nonetheless.
He recognizes that this is vulnerability, that he didn't have to share quite this much, and now Hifumi feels small. He cherishes his bonds with Doppo and Sensei deeply, but he can't even claim this kind of belonging. And... he knows it's his own fault, for hiding behind a smile and a jacket. He's somber for a moment, considering, before he realizes with a soft laugh that he's gotta have some kind of ego to compare himself to someone else's experiences, story or not.
Belatedly, he registers that that last part might... be about him.]
Maybe... it's kind of like one of those enemies-to-lovers kind of deals? [It sounds like a joke, other than his tone being as sincere as it can be.]
