I think by an Earth calendar, today would be Father's Day.

To the other parents who are here... do you miss your children? Even if you wouldn't want them here.

I miss mine.

I'd love to. I'm sure you'll cut a handsome figure as always.

[killercoat]

[Yes, let him play out his secret desire of matching/coordinating outfits.]

I suppose, but I won't be nearly as striking as you. It's a date, then. I'll put all my efforts into making sure it's a good one.

[Althought he always enjoys Atsushi's company on a date or not, but he believes he can do better.]

[tigerpoet]

You're too sweet to me sometimes, you know that?

[A cheek kiss, just because.]

[killercoat]

[ Akutagawa blushes at the cheek kiss, easily flustered by any affection towards him.]

That's sweet? I just don't want to do things half-heartedly.

[tigerpoet]

It's sweet, putting in the extra effort even though I would be satisfied by anything with you.

[killercoat]

You might be satisfied with anything, but I believe actions speak louder than words. I might not be able to tell you how much I care, but I can at least show you.

[ Although, he still needs to work on with affection and intimacy. It's not always easy for him to initiate it, but he's trying to be less awkward about it.]

[tigerpoet]

I know you do, even if you don't say it.

[He leans over to peck a kiss on the bridge of Akutagawa's nose.]

[killercoat]

[Akutagawa blushes at the kiss, it was very tender. Though before Atsushi pulls away, the mafioso cups his cheek. Speaking of things unsaid...]

The same goes for you, even if you don't say it, I know when you feel lonely. You don't have to put on a brave face for me.

[tigerpoet]

...thank you.

[The smile falls from his face, and he goes quiet, leaning against Akutagawa for that point of reassuring contact.]

[killercoat]

[As Atsushi leans into him, Akutagawa sets his glass down, so he wrap his arm around him and pet his hair.]

I adore you for accepting me. So I want to be as accepting of all parts of you as well.

[tigerpoet]

I don't mean to hide anything from you. I just... don't want to trouble anyone, I suppose.

[It's second nature to stay silent about his own feelings.]

[killercoat]

It's not a bother. It's more troublesome to play along and pretend to not see your pain.

[tigerpoet]

I'll do my best not to hide it anymore.

[He can't promise he'll always be honest with his pain, but he can promise to try.]

[killercoat]

[ Akutagawa doesn't expect an immediate turnaround. He knows how hard it is to open up, and he's very much a clam when it comes to vulnerability himself.]

Trying is enough.

[Funny coming from Akutagawa, but for that reason, it's sincere. He's also trying his best as well.]

[tigerpoet]

Thank you for being patient with me.

[Even if he does his best, the process will take a while.]

[killercoat]

Isn't that my line? I just want to be a person you can rely on.

[It definitely will be a hard road, mistakes will be made and they might lose their way, but the destination would be rewarding.]

[tigerpoet]

You already are.

[He squeezes Akutagawa's hand meaningfully.]

Wrap up?

[killercoat]

[Akutagawa squeezes his hand back.]

Good.

[ It'll be a blow to his ego if even his boyfriend couldn't confide in him. He reaches for his glass, finishing off the rest of the sake.]

Shall I pour you another glass?
