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.

[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.]

[ 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?
