it was nearly 2am when akutagawa arrived. he was about to knock when he received a text.
jinko: the door's unlocked btw
akutagawa smiled softly to himself before walking into the apartment. taking off his shoes, he immediately made his way towards atsushi's bedroom and sure enough, there he was, eyes puffy and red from crying. it broke akutagawa's heart.
without saying a word, akutagawa sat next to atsushi and wrapped his arms around him. atsushi clung to him like he was his lifeline, sobbing into his shoulder while he rubbed circles on his back and quietly shushed him. if you had told akutagawa a year ago that he'd be in the jinko's apartment, comforting him, he would've killed you for spreading such lies, but now..
"hey atsushi.." he said softly once the sobs died down, "how about we lie down, mm?"
atsushi nodded, not trusting himself to speak just yet.
they laid down, atsushi burying his face in akutagawa's chest.
he had never felt more safe.
they stayed like that, for a while, until atsushi slowly drifted off to sleep. akutagawa couldn't help but blush at how cute he looked, just registering the close proximity between them.
"damn it, atsushi." he blushed. "why do you have to be so cute? i went from wanting to kill you to wanting to be with you every second of every day. you have no idea what you do to me, jinko. i think.." akutagawa waited a few moments before planting a kiss on atsushi's head, "i think i love you.." he murmured into his hair, before drifting off to sleep himself.
atsushi wouldn't tell akutagawa until the next morning that he heard every word.
