Right … he had to leave. Kaito nodded his head and smiled awkwardly at the smirk. “Safe travels ….”
Once Hakuba had all of his belongings, he gave Kaito another little smile and a nod, then turned away from him. “Goodbye, Kuroba,” he called to him, looking back once more over his shoulder. “Don’t get into too much trouble while I’m gone."
He started up the walkway to his terminal where they had begun boarding, and every step away made the thudding in his heart louder and louder. How was he supposed to just leave him?
"I’ll miss you.” He didn’t look back as he said it, but he didn’t keep his voice very quiet, either, just letting out air as he tore himself away from the person who had become all together far too much to him to leave. But here he was. Leaving.
