[ He will at her signal, then! He needs to get clean himself, anyway, so he'll leave her to her own devices. He's not in the mood for anything, it's true. He just wants to take care of her and be quiet, maybe have the TV on in the background while they just lay down and stare at the ceiling... Maybe talk about existence a little.
He gets out once he's clean enough and... if Emerald gives him the space right under the shower head for a bit so he can rinse off. He'll need to get a towel for Emerald, which he has in the cupboard. So with the one towel he has, he dries his hair and then wraps it around his waist before getting a fresh and clean one for Emerald. ]
[ Emerald takes a little longer in the shower. She likes long showers and at some point while he was off getting a towel, she sat down with her legs folded to just quietly drown in the water.
Okay, not drown, but it's raining all over her when he comes back in. Once she sees he's back with a towel though, she stands up and turns the water off, squeezing out her hair before she even steps out of the shower so it doesn't drip all over the floor. ]
[ If she's not dripping wet from her hair anymore, he removes the towel from her head and hands it to her so she can dry the rest of her body. Meanwhile, he's going to pick up pieces of her clothing all over the floor. ]
He doesn't even bat an eyelash with what she does, but instead moves past the bed to his closet to grab a pair of lounge pants and a shirt. It's comfortable, it's rainbow, and most importantly, it does not show her tiddies. No underwear for her for now...
And instead of giving the clothes to her, though, he places them on Emerald's side of the bed before he heads back to dress up. ]
[ He says it softly like it's a secret he's been keeping for some time now. He's not into sweets, but he does enjoy hot chocolate from time to time. It's a comfort drink of sorts. ]
I'll prepare it, then. Please get some rest.
[ And Emerald should do as he says. Mom will take care of her!!!! ]
[ What an ominous yes. She's not really tired in the sense of being sleepy, but she knows Akashi will enough by now to know when he wants to be close to her, he tries to take care of her. And she.. really likes it, honestly, so she stays in bed. ]
[ It doesn't take long to get the water ready and then mix in the chocolate. He prepares it the way he likes it—thick and creamy with a little salt. It's not too sweet, but not too bitter either.
Once he's done, he heads back up to his bedroom and with two mugs. He figures he may as well drink, too.
He sets the mugs down on his bedside table before he slips under the sheets and rests his back on the bedrest. ]
Sit up. The chocolate will spill.
[ He hands her hug mug soon after. It smells nice! ]
[ She says it jokingly, sitting up and scooting to the end of the bed. The bottom of the T-shirt is tied so that the shirt fits her a little better. Her butt is bare and she tugs the blanket to keep it over her bottom half. Then she accepts her drink and goes to take a sip. ]
Yes. This particular mix, specifically. I was curious because there was a merchant who offered me a cup at the grocery. It was good, so I bought an entire canister.
[ This is the child whose sugar intake has always been controlled. ]
The man said I should add a little salt, so I do whenever I prepare a cup.
I can see why, since you don't like sweet that much. Cinnamon is good to balance it too since cinnamon is actually bitter.
[ She likes cinnamon too since she likes things to be a little spicy, but this is good. She takes another sip, licking her lips to get a bit of chocolate off of them. That feels much better, warmer on the inside too...
She thinks for a moment since this isn't just exhausting physically today probably. At least not for Akashi. ]
Are you okay? That's the first time you've seen her and it wasn't me.
[ The question makes him blink a little more rapidly for a second. He's... admittedly not yet used to people asking how he is. He's supposed to always be okay, to be on top of things and to not show weakness. He's an Akashi, after all. It's Emerald he's with though, so he's found that it's okay to experience all kinds of emotions with her, whether it's positive or negative. She always helps him, so... ]
I'm not really sure how to feel. [ He smiles though, before inching closer to her. His arms stay by his legs, but over the sheets. If he hugged Emerald now, chocolate could end up on his comfort. ] I think I'm okay. It was short-lived, but I got what I wanted.
We didn't get to talk to each other, but I suppose that's better than hearing her call me a disappointment. You got to see her, too. At least, I hope that truly was her.
[ He looks at her before placing a soft kiss to her temple. ]
I'm very fortunate to have you in my life, Emerald. I really am.
[ And he wishes he could express himself properly, show how much she means to him. That's why he wants to take care of her at every chance he gets. Emerald is someone to be treasured. ]
[ He shakes his head before he slips under the sheets even further. He's been careful with making sure the chocolate doesn't spill, but he wants to hold her now. She's all the company he needs right now. Mayuzumi too, of course, but at this moment, Akashi feels very content with having just Emerald by his side. The fact that Mayuzumi is in his life in this way is such a huge bonus, too. ]
I'm fine now. [ She asked him if he's okay, she's here with him now, and she told him she'd do anything for him to be happy and safe. That's more than what he could ever ask for.
Once he's lowered himself enough that his head is on his pillow, he shifts so he can wrap his arms around her waist. ] Thank you.
[ Emerald takes one more sip before setting her own mug aside so she doesn't spill on him. She doesn't scoot down with him, instead placing one hand on his back, gently running her fingers up and down over his shirt between his scapulas. ]
[ For now, he's going to hold her and stay silent. The two of them don't really run out of things to talk about, but right now, Akashi's not really sure what to say. He's tired and all he wants is Emerald's company. ]
Would it be alright if I closed my eyes for a little while?
