[It's electric. Wataru grasps his hand before he can even process what's happening, and Eichi gasps audibly at the powerful sensation that he's not ready for. Memories, spilling into him, just barely the tip of an iceberg. But those eyes, the ones he's meeting now with his own wide ones, were always the same. They were always the most beautiful things.
His hand is released and words are being spoken before he can even register it. Slowly, he takes in a breath, and his free hand lifts to his chest to try and regulate his breathing after that. What? It was... He'd never listened deeply to any of Keito's rambling about reincarnation, but this was—]
Wataru!
[He calls out the name before his mind can even catch up. Eichi has turned, reaching to brush delicate fingertips at the edge of Wataru's fingers, not catching them so much as hinting at it, grazing by. But his eyes are wide and he exhales shakily.
When he realizes that he's called him something like that without thought, the hand from his chest lifts to cover his lips, briefly, and he looks startled. But slowly, that hand drops a little lower, and he dares a step forward again.]
Just now... that powerful feeling was something that we shared? This isn't a trick. Emotions can't be forced on someone, even if I can't understand them... but this one is quite clear.
"Stay by my side, whatever it takes." I'll continue to close the distance between us if I have to, but if you becoming my "jester" means that you'll stay there without that, then... Please. Hibiki-kun.
