The best part of mutual pining is when two characters just have very different pining styles and don't recognize the symptoms of the other person. Theo pines in soft moments and stolen looks and slow blinks and quiet. Akk pines in over the top jokes and flirting he can deny and close contact and holding eye contact and winks. And they both think the other one couldn't possibly return their feelings because how could they do that and feel the same way?
