(Akutagawa has been your boyfriend for quite a while now. Though he is always almost just as socially awkward as when you two met. Showing him affection would result in either him pushing you away, or accepting it in silence as a slight blush appeared on his cheeks. But you could tell as of late, he's been doing slightly better. Subtly starting to ask you for affection himself.)

(The two of you were sitting calmly on the couch, just watching TV together. After a few moments, you could catch him glancing down at your hand every now and then. It took a couple minutes, but eventually, you turned his head to him and asked him if there was something wrong. But he just looked away, covering his mouth with his hand. You knew exactly what he wanted.)

Akutagawa: "Ahem...can I?"
