aoba had been in some sort of funk for like 9 days where he barely came out of his room. Mink decides enough bedrotting and carries aoba for some fresh air. His first reaction to getting grabbed was uncharacteristic for him - aggression, a small fight. But once mink explained what the plan was, the resisting stopped, and he just let mink help him put some shoes on.

Naturally, 9 days of bedrot does not make a very energized ao, so he just climbs his partner. Mink is fine with it. The fresh air is a main goal, after all. And he knows aoba isn't quite "himself" right now, either, and spending time with him, however or whoever, is important time for mink.

Later when they get home, he'll pry for why Aoba’s so low, fuss over his hair and ask why he didn't take out the feathers if he planned on letting his hair get so tangled. Recieve a simple answer that he felt he couldn't touch them no matter what. They're too important to risk screwing up...
