[ No matter what comes before or after, in moments of stillness, it's impossible to forget who he's speaking to.
He doubted it at first, why wouldn't he? That man was strong, capable, wise, if a little charmingly goofy at times. Haruaki here...well. He hadn't seemed anything but charming when they first met.
But the longer Akira paid attention, the more he couldn't help but notice, especially in the way he handled those around him. That light shining off in the distance of the train tunnel had been the final nail in the coffin, the reason for him to see even more, and more, and more, and more.
There's no doubt in his mind that the most important man in his life is beneath his hands right now, close enough to count every wrinkle in bright red stromata.
And the effects that's having on him gives him the belated realization that his own ability to compare their temperatures might be skewed.
It's fine. This is all fine. Like he said, just a quick check and treatment if necessary, and he can usher Haruaki back out the door where he no doubt wants to be. Where he should be, to guide yet more lives that need him along their paths.
Still slow and steady, eyes unknowingly half-lidded in their brief contemplation, Akira rests his forehead against Haruaki's. Silent. ]
