“Hey,” Akihiko says, walking up to you.

Usually he would be so busy, with practice and being apart of S.E.E.S, but he made time for you today. You are close with Shinji after all, and it makes him want to get closer to you even more. After all, you two did meet through him.

But the more you two hang out, the more Akihiko feels as if something is stirring inside of him. But he doesn’t.. want to know what this feeling is as he laughs awkwardly.

“Ready to get going?” He asks.
