Beauty in the mist

He meets her gaze, trying to focus on her eyes, but truth be told, it's a bit difficult when either one of them is a different color. Still, he holds it, his features softening with every moment they spend together. Outside of this moment, with anyone else, Akito is the stoic boy of little emotion and even fewer words. Outward expression is not his forte, but around her? Clove is different. He feels that wall lower and his brain turn to mush. She basically has ever chance to crush him beneath her paw if she wanted to.

His gaze is drawn away a moment as she leans back slightly to cross her paws. Akito is amused as she pretends to be confident, his smirk twisting even more as she realizes just how tall he is. Though he's not conceited or any sort of full of himself, he doesn't mind a compliment every now and then. He was known to doubt himself from time to time so the reassurance is nice.

Her giggle is sweet too, light like the wind and pleasant like the chimes that knock against the bamboo. A sound that makes his ears perk up with delight. There's something between them that Akito can't quite put a paw on, his brain is racing too fast to really even think anyway. Her face is close, her nose even closer, their breath intermingling as she mentions that he could also reach out to her.

Before he has a chance to open his mouth, her paw is reaching toward his cheek, resting there gently, mentioning just exactly what she meant. Surprised by the impulsive action, Akito stares at her wide eyed. Breathless and unsure how to react, it takes his brain a minute to reboot. Just as she's about to pull away, Akito moves his own paw to place it over her smaller one. "Your paw feels nice," Akito says quietly, awkward boy thoughts taking over before he can register just how odd that might have sounded.
