[oh my god. laughs a little breathlessly, drawing back just enough to catch Minato's gaze with his own, hands pressed against his cheeks]

[he's smiling a little doofily, but it's oh-so fond]

That's exactly what I want to give you. . . and what I want from you in return.

[messianic]

[ ... ah. And Minato just hums softly at that, tilting his face into Akira's touch contentedly, eyes fluttering shut. ]

I'm lucky, then. That's... exactly what I want too.

... You understand me better than anyone, Akira. There isn't anyone else I'd rather be devoted to.

[survivaltricks]

[tilts his head up a bit so their noses brush together. cute eskimo kisses!!]

Yeah. I feel. . . the same way.

[he feels so, so lucky]

But I want you to be happy, so. . . I dunno. I guess. . . I thought I should ask.

[messianic]

... You're sweet.

[ Minato is content to brush their noses together peacefully, affectionately and gently. ]

Thanks for looking out for me. I still feel... well... I'm not used to asking for someone to focus on me and only me.

But... I'm happy.

[survivaltricks]

[to hear that Minato is happy, just as they are. . . well. that's all Akira could ask for in this conversation, isn't it?]

[he cards his fingers through the hair at the nape of Minato's neck, idly toying with blue locks]

I am, too.

[honestly!!]

[messianic]

[ .............. he rolls a little to be half on top of Akira now, peering at him. ]

Now that we've established that--there isn't anyone else you'd be interested in that with at all?

[ he doesn't sound doubtful so much as like.

He... needs this to convince himself that it's okay to expect this of Akira!!! ]

[survivaltricks]

[allows for this, though his cheeks do turn a little pink. they've made out like this plenty of times before but it's still!! kind of!! exhilarating!!]

[his fingers continue to stroke through Minato's hair cuz he finds this to be soothing!! and his ears perk forward as he takes a genuine moment to consider the question]

Not really?

There are a lot of really attractive people here-- [VICIOUS] -- but I don't want to date them. Not because they wouldn't be fun to date, but because I'm just. . . well. I'm not into them that way.

[messianic]

[ It is soothing... and Akira's answer is soothing too. So he just rests his cheek on Akira's chest, settling there peacefully. ]

Okay. ... Mm, okay.

In that case... I think I feel okay with asking you for something like this.

[survivaltricks]

[a quiet, content noise]

. . . what about you?

[the question goes both ways!!]

[messianic]

There are so many people I'm really fond of here. And like you said, there are lots of attractive people here.

[ Vicious' monster form. Gojo's stupidly pretty eyes. Etc.

A soft sigh. ]

But there isn't anyone who's made my heart skip a beat like you do.

[survivaltricks]

[boyfriend why do u clarify "monster form." why]

[slides his fingers under Minato's chin, tracing his jawline gently as they talk. Minato has his full and complete focus, which is exactly what he wanted, right? . . . Akira is more than happy to give it. in this moment, and in so many in the future]

Why, thank you.

[earnestly pleased]

[AND THEN JOKINGLY]

Must be all that time I spent reading "Reckless Casanova."

[messianic]

[ at least he didn't say that out loud, right?

Anyway... Akira's touch is really, really, really nice.

And.

Then......

There's that. ]

Is... that some of your favorite reading material, or something?

[survivaltricks]

A joke. It's a joke.

[tilts his head forward to press a kiss against the tip of Minato's nose]

[messianic]

[ the gesture is cute and Minato is weak to it. ]

I wouldn't have judged you if you read it every single night before bed.

[survivaltricks]

I would have.

[that'd be super lame, Minato!]

[messianic]

[ It would be super duper lame. ]

Hm.

I guess I just find everything you do to be endearing.

[survivaltricks]

[laughs a little, light and airy, before settling again]

. . .

I was a little worried.

[he admits, voice barely above a whisper]

. . . I care about you so much, but if you had wanted to-- to be more like Cerberus, I don't think I could have. . .

[. . . and he trails off]

[messianic]

[ Hmmm... Minato inspects Akira carefully at that for a long moment, before he just cups Akira's cheek with a hand. ]

... You know my parents died when I was really young.

[ Akira saw that memory, unfortunately. ]

After that... I was passed along from distant family to distant family. I ended up in an orphanage a few times too. It wasn't... I was glad to have a roof over my head, but...

[ ... ]

I guess what I'm trying to say is... that never in my life have I felt like the most important person to... anyone.

[ SEES has gone such a long way to healing those scars, and his Social Links too, but-- ]

... What you're giving me is special, and... I don't want to give that up.

[survivaltricks]

[tilts his head into that hand, eyes fluttering as he revels in the warm contact]

Minato. . .

[he utters that name just as breathlessly as his words from earlier, lifting his own hand to press his fingers against Minato's knuckles, pushing the other wild card's palm all the more firmly against his cheek]

[. . .]

[he feels like he should say something else, but. . . the words won't come, no matter how much he wishes they would. he feels light, his heart fluttering like a butterfly, threatening to float right out of his ribs]

[so what else can he do but tilt his head up to catch Minato's mouth in a kiss instead?]

[messianic]

[ Minato thinks that's a perfectly fine response, honestly--so he gladly and willingly leans into that kiss, thumb from the hand still cupping Akira's cheek gently sliding along the ridge of his cheekbone as he does.

They seem to be on the same page to Minato, so... he's not too terribly concerned with more words right now. ]

[survivaltricks]

[they are definitely on the same page, and that fact couldn't make Akira any happier. sometimes actions speak louder than words anyway, right?]

[. . . he's melted into Minato once today already, but hey. there isn't a limit on how many times they're allowed to do this, is there? so with a completely content hum, Akira continues to kiss, keeping it just as lazy and affectionate as his earlier ones were]

[messianic]

[ HOW MANY TIMES A DAY CAN THEY MAKE OUT, AL--



by which I mean

They are trading affectionate kisses again, warm but relatively innocent and chaste. Minato's honestly really comfortable just like this. ]

[survivaltricks]

[SO MANY TIMES. . . THEY'RE AWFUL]

[but Akira seems happy to be here again, swapping kisses with Minato like there isn't anything else in the world that matters. and quite frankly? in this moment, there isn't]

[he slides his arms around Minato's back, hooking his hands together to let them rest at the small of the other wild card's back, perfectly innocent!!]

[messianic]

[ innocent, warm and affectionate smooches!

Minato is pretty content to just linger in this moment for awhile--but eventually he does pull back, instead pressing his forehead to Akira's quietly.

Mmm... ]

... You're really addicting. It's not fair at all.

[survivaltricks]

[it's probably a good time to pull back. . . Akira needs to catch his breath, after all. though Minato's statement does make him laugh]

I suppose I'm not really trying to be fair. . .

[tilts his head up to nuzzle Minato's nose again!!]
