It's... a statement that makes Minato's heart thump faster in his chest, and he drags in a shaky breath, a faint flush to his cheeks--and then he breathes it out and smiles a little more. ]
... I'm really happy to hear that. I don't know if I really see all of you yet, but...
[ he gently strokes his thumb over Akira's knuckles in his hand. ]
[ He does understand what Akira means--and it makes him feel so, so warm inside. He looks a little bashful at that kiss--but he just squeezes Akira's hand firmly in response, meeting Akira's eyes with his own. ]
I'm really, really glad to hear that, because... that's how I want you to feel.
You can rely on me. It... makes me really, really happy when you do. More than I can put into words. Because I think you're really just so, so amazing.
[ And that Akira deserves someone there to see all of him--and support him through everything. ]
[god, he is going to explode at this rate. or melt. either-or. possibly both at the same time! how is it that one person is so, so capable of making him feel like a bashful middle-schooler again?]
I think I underestimated your power levels, senpai.

And, patiently: ]

[. . . reaches for Minato's hand again, lacing their fingers together]
Who sees all of me.

I'm excited to learn more every single day.

You see enough of me. You make me feel like-- I don't know.
[a helpless little shrug, and he draws Minato's hand upwards so he can press a kiss against the back of it]
Like. . . it's okay to be a little needy.
["needy" is, perhaps, not the right word, but he trusts that Minato knows what he means]

That makes Minato laugh, a faint, short noise that he covers up with a hand. When his expression is settled again, he responds: ]
... I don't know what you mean. Anyway... I'm just saying what I think and how I feel.
Sorry about that.

[said with a gentle huff! it is also a gentle scolding, but it's fine]
You've always been the type to say what he thinks and feels, without reservations.
It's-- admirable, in a way.
no subject
[ Minato seems more amused than anything, as he squeezes Akira's hand in his own. ]
And in the other way, it's pretty annoying?
[ He's obviously teasing. ]
no subject
Thaaaaaat's not at all what I was thinking. Absolutely no part of it is annoying.
[squeezing Minato's hand in return]

You're sweet. Thanks.
I'm glad for that, since I think that's something I just can't change.
