Of course his feelings for Goro don't go as far as butterflies churning in his stomach and his heartbeat racing every time they meet, but he's learned that he does like him a lot. Enough. He's half sure this is also an act of defiance against their possible fate, wanting to fight it and go against the grain... so it's selfish in itself. If maybe these memories didn't manifest, he wonders how this night would turn out.
Quietly, Akira staggers after him, led along by his wrist until they settle on the cold white sand edging the waves by a safe distance. He blankly stares, silent and pensive as he's at a mental crossroad. He knows he needs to resolve his issues and not create walls, but he's not sure how he should deal with this situation. Even if the sound of the ocean fills in the silence, it's awfully awkward. ]

[ It's fine. He's fine. Just bury the doubts and fear. Everything will be fine. ]
