Despite treating each other as friends, they never admitted it out loud, and this was the first time that they both acknowledged it.
Arren couldn't help but also smile, his mind and heart relaxing. He looked at Rave and remembered just how he only looked at the omega as the protagonist of the book and was always thinking that he knew Rave more than himself just because he knew some of the plot.
Now, when he looked at the white-haired omega, he wasn't looking at him as the character anymore but as truly his friend, someone he could rely on other than his father and Rave.
His eyes lit up, and he grinned, "Yes, we're friends." For some reason, he liked the sound of it.
In the end, Arren decided not to accompany Rave further as he met his subordinates.
Arren laughed and embraced the omega, he was always clingy when it came to Rave, which the other didn't reprimand, even if he jokingly did occasionally.
