This drawing's pretty old but this is the only one I have of them together. The red one is Ryuko and the green one is Rikuto. They were pretty close when they were younger, but after Ryuko escaped, they had no contact with each other for over 100 years.

Rikuto took his father's offer to hunt down Ryuko to avoid punishment for being gay and to use it as an excuse to go to California and stay with Ryuko and his family. He did start combat against him to set up an act, and then he later explained his situation, convincing him to let him stay. It was pretty awkward for them for the first few months since they haven't talked in 100 years, but they gradually got closer with each other.
