[ 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?
[ If he falls asleep holding her like that, she won't complain. She's just going to keep rubbing his back softly, enjoying the flow of chroma between them, and most of all just enjoying his presence. She was able to be there for him today when he needed her.. that makes her really happy. ]
[ Akashi huddles closer until his nose touches her side. He's comfortable like this, even if he's acting like a kid right now. It's just Emerald. It's fine if he lets his guard down for a bit. He'll just have to pick up the pieces a little quicker so that she can go back to relying on him again. ]
I love you.
[ The trickling of Chroma from being close is nice. He really is able to relax, and he closes his eyes soon after to get some rest. ]
[ Emerald likes relying on him, but it's a special feeling right now to have him relying on her. It's rarer and it's not something she really thinks of herself as qualified for all the time. So when he does rely on her like this, she feels confident. Proud of herself and proud that he's able to trust in her despite her long track record of being a diamond in the rough and someone who has no right for anyone to trust her completely.
She can't help but think right now, if they were back on empatheias, they might be floating in the air right now, warm as could be, because of how happy she is in this moment, both because of Akashi and with herself. There would be flowers all over the floor, unable to be contained because right now she just feels love and affection and happiness. ]
