[ There's a small smile when Akira agrees to think about it. Nico can't help but press another short, but sweet kiss to his lips. ]
I'm glad.
[ Even though the other says that and Nico nods in agreement, he's just going to stay there for another minute. Gazing at Akira's face with a softness and wonderment he hasn't before. Just absorbing the fact that he isn't being pushed away. Finally: ]
Yeah. [ He's very reluctant to unwrap himself and get to his feet, but he manages. Then Nico holds out a hand and should Akira take it - will find that he's stronger than appearances imply. ]
If there's ever anything you want to know about me, just ask. If it's you, I could probably say it all.
He loses his breath at that fond, lingering gaze, feeling his face heat.
He lets Nico take his time in pulling away. When he gets up and says that to him, there's a brief flash of doubt in Akira's eyes. His brow tenses, but only for a moment. And then he reaches out and lets the other boy help him up.]
[ Nico continues to hold his hand as they make their way back inside where it's warm. Letting their shoulders and arms brush. ]
Guess I should start by saying... I don't actually remember much about my life before I was ten. After my mother was killed by Zeus, dad washed away mine and my sister's memories away in the River Lethe. Zeus was aiming to kill us because of some stupid prophecy. That's why we ended up in that hotel for seventy years, never aging.

[He lets the touch to his face linger just a bit longer.]
We should get back.
