“Ah, you think? Perhaps I’ve pushed myself a little too hard today. I appreciate the seat...”

Goro sat heavily at one of the counter seats, fighting the urge to rest his throbbing head on his arms. It was more than pushing himself, but Akira didn’t need to know that.

“Sometimes I just get so lost in biking I don’t realize I’ve been going for too long. Ahaha...do you also get lost in your own head, perhaps?”

Akira raised an inquisitive brow, regarding the other with a mix of concern and curiosity plastered all over his features. He couldn’t know whether Akechi was being truthful as to why he had pushed himself to the brink of total physical exhaustion, but it was evident that his body needed either rest, fuel or both.

“Sometimes I do,” Akira admitted half-heartedly in response to his question, his head already in a different space. “Now, I have five options for you to choose from.“

“Number one– I’ll get you a premium glass of cool LeBlanc faucet water, freshly tapped.” As he elucidated the first option, Akira gestured toward the empty glasses on the shelf. “Number two, I’ll make you some coffee as a pick me up, on the house. Three would be some curry for the calories you obviously need, and four is calling my trusted neighborhood doctor over.”

While he had spoken, Akira had already fetched the other a glass of water. Seems as though Akechi had to go with option one at least.

Valentines Day Alphabet! - Accepting.

A   :   AFFECTION.  How does your muse show affection?

I would say he’s definitely an ‘actions speak louder than words’ sort of guy.  Whether it’s the deeper romantic gestures like surprising them with a hug from behind or trying to take them out for dinner, or even the small things like just reaching to hold their hand or put a hand on their shoulder.  That’s not to say he wouldn’t express his love and appreciation verbally, I just think he thrives through his actions, even moreso.  He’s definitely a ‘little gestures’ sort of guy, though he’ll try to go big every now and then.

K   :   KISS.  Is your muse a good kisser? why / why not?

He doesn’t have a lot of experience with kissing in his own defense, so his earlier efforts might come off as a little inexperienced and clumsy as he tries to figure himself out.  But eventually he’ll try to go for it and initiate kisses.  I don’t think he’d be a wet or a gross or a sloppy kisser.  Maybe just a little clumsy and timid here and there.

E   :   EMBRACE.  Does your muse like hugs? What are their hugs like?

He loves hugs! Back when he was trapped with his horrible monster of a dad, he always felt safe and comforted when he was wrapped in the warm embrace of his Ma so that’s what he tries to go for with his own hugs.  He wants his partner to feel safe and protected and loved.  He usually goes for bear hugs, bringing the person as close to him as possible and pulling them in for a close, albeit gentle hug, though he can loosen up and given lighter hugs or on-armed hugs too.  The bear hugs are usually reserved for people who really need them or people who he really loves.

C   :   CHOCOLATE.  Does your muse like chocolate? which one is their favourite?

His training as an athlete naturally deters him from junk food but whenever he allows himself to cheat a little, he finds that he enjoys it quite a bit.  He doesn’t have a particular favorite as he can’t be bothered to keep up with all of the brands and flavors.  He likes anything - dark chocolate, light, milk, white, chocolate with peanuts, almonds, sprinkes.  It’s all the same to him.  He likes it all equally.

H   :   HEART.  Is your muse quick or slow to give their heart away?

Probably not to a total stranger or someone he’s still getting to know, but I feel like he would be a lot quicker to fallen in love with confidants, like other Phantom Thieves or close friends due to the level of trust and the bond they’ve established between each other.

I    :   I LOVE YOU.   Does your muse find ‘i love you’ easy or hard to say?

Deciding when he wants to say it is the tricky part as again, he doesn’t want to be too quick with a total stranger and it comes a lot more naturally with people he trusts and already has a strong bond with.  However, with newer relationship or with people he doesn’t feel quite as certain with, he might need some time to think about it - not because he doubts his partner or their relationship, more like he’s doubting himself.

“You made it,” Akira spoke, waving as he greeted the brunette, putting his phone away to approach Goro.  “The fireworks aren’t for a while, so lets look at the food stalls.”

“...Yeah, me too.” He was still panting a little from how cold it had been outside and he could feel droplets of snow still clinging to his hair, but his hands were too cold to even bother with brushing them away.  “Was hoping to catch a train home, but I guess that won’t be happening now, huh...?” He joked, offering a wry smile.

“…Man, it’s cold here,”

He had underestimated just how cold it would be today.  His Ma’s warning had gone completely unheeded and now he found himself in only his gym clothes, his arms instinctively wrapping around himself in an attempt to shield himself from the cold.  Just as he’d resigned himself to a long chilly walk home, he felt something covering his shoulders and his shaking suddenly stopped.

“A-Are you sure…?” He turned to face the source of his salvation - his cheeks turning red, though whether it was from the cold or not, he honestly couldn’t say.
