Immediately stumbling his way straight to the patio so that he could smoke without making your apartment reek of his cigarettes. He was hurting mentally and physically, but he wasn't going to let you see that.

"I'm fine, I don't know why you won't let me stay at my place."

Aki said nonchalantly, exhaling smoke through his nose. He glanced over at you, pushing his hair out his face. He didn't want to burden you with taking care of him even if you were his significant other.
