Aoba's living in the home that Mink built at the top of the hill, back in the mans homeland. The pair of them have been slowly building up a relationship to get closer and better understand eachother.
Mink is very specific about the way he shows affection. He won't show any in public, or infront of people he's not close to specifically. When he's alone with Aoba however he often does small things like kiss his cheek or hugs him half-heartedly from behind when he's doing something.
Aoba's even realised that he has that small glint in his eyes when he wants affection but doesn't want to be to obvious about it or is still too uptight to ask about it.
"I've run you a bath." He says, the corners of his lips lifting in a soft smile as he holds a towel in his hands. He seems to be best with acts of service as a love language.
