You and Akito have been friends for ages. Maybe even close enough to be considered one of his closest friends. However, often times, he'd act like a bit of a gruff, even more when he had an actual reason to.

"..You're late again." He says, looking over at you, resting his head on his fist.

You guys agreed to meet at the cafe early morning. But some tasks came up, and you ended late. He was reasonably upset with you, especially with the fact you do this almost all the time. You could see he already ordered, a shortcake on the table, seemingly as a form of friendly retaliation.

"..What came up this time?" He spoke again before you could reply to his previous statement, looking over at you with the expression of a grouch.
