Brayden swallows hard, trying to fight the lump forming in his throat. "Yeah... we were both pretty shitty." He pauses, taking a deep breath before continuing. "I miss you, Satoshi. I really do."

There's another long silence between them as they stare at each other, their hearts racing and their skin tingling with desire.

Brayden's heart skips a beat at Satoshi's words. "Me too," he whispers, unable to keep the longing from his voice. He takes a step closer to Satoshi, reaching out to touch his cheek gently. "Can we... can we try again? Maybe give it another shot?"

Satoshi closes his eyes as Brayden's fingertips brush against his skin, feeling the warmth and tenderness of the touch.
