[ Ren loves Ryuji too. Loving Yusuke as well just seems painfully selfish of Ren at that point and he'll feel guilty about it as he wants to whike Ren obediently extending his arm, the brush licking down it. ]

Yeah, I could use a stretch. Thanks.

[ Ren is careful not to ruin Yusuke's work when he rises and gently rolls kinks out of his neck. There aren't any mirrors in here, but if he turns he can catch the dark tips in his peripheral thanks to his thin frame, the work only half done.

It... also leaves no more barrier between him and Yusuke when Ren takes a seat on the table's edge, bending forward to avoid smudging the paint. This has the side effect of bringing him and Yusuke's eyeline about level. ]

I do know what you're going through. If I didn't have any reservations you wouldn't have to be, but I'm glad you told me.
