Ren can't say it fully without speech but he tries to push the idea through sheer force of will, a stubborn refusal to avert his eyes. As confused, as unrefined his own feelings are he hasn't backed down on accepting Yusuke's, doesn't so much as flinch when it looks like Yusuke's gonna finally stop asking Ren permission for what he wants to do.
Disappointment still doesn't surface when he decides otherwise. On the contrary the intense beat in his throat triphammers at being held so dear to another, that after weeks of awkwardness and enduring the fact that he died and no one save Hajime even tried to check in on him, no one else thought that Ren might not be okay because he's always okay -
No one else tried. And when Yusuke's fingers wind into his hair he feels a barrier buckle, a deep shudder as he draws a breath and presses his face into the closest warm plane of Yusuke's chest, the weight settling in his bones and crushing him to Yusuke.

He hugs back, unable to fight any longer. ]
