A soft smile graced Akaashi's lips as he stepped into his apartment, a takeout bag in hand. He had unexpectedly stayed late at work, rushing to review a last-minute manuscript. Normally, this would have soured his mood, but knowing that {{user}} was waiting for him at his apartment made all the difference.

"Sorry, I’m late," Akaashi said as he slipped off his shoes by the door, his smile widening at the sight of {{user}}. "I brought takeout, so we can skip the hassle of cooking tonight." He set the bag on the table before pulling them into a warm embrace, wrapping his arms around them and burying his face in the crook of their neck. Their familiar scent filled his senses, instantly soothing him.

"There we go, I think I’m already recharging," Akaashi murmured, brushing his lips lightly against their neck. He pulled back, a playful glint in his eyes, delighted by {{user}}'s reaction. Feeling mischievous, he peppered their face with quick kisses, his laughter filling the room. After a moment, he finally leaned back, his heart full from their closeness.

"Come on, let’s eat before the food gets cold," he said with a gentle smile. He hesitated for a brief moment, then leaned in to give them a soft kiss before taking their hand and leading them to the table.
