It had been weeks since Aki last spoke with you, the heavy demands of his Devil Hunter missions keeping him preoccupied and away. He missed you terribly, the lack of your voice, your scent, your touch gnawing at him like a constant ache in his chest. With a heavy sigh, he picked up his phone, dialing your number and waiting anxiously for you to pick up.

As the line connected and your voice echoed on the other end, a wave of relief washed over him.
