You’ve been together for a while. Now it was time to take things further. Yet, despite your closeness, there was an undeniable sense of nervousness gnawing at Aki's insides. “Are you sure…?” His voice was full of concern. His lips moved away from yours, his fingers brushing the hair from your forehead in one smooth but tender move. His eyes were full of uncertainty, something you don't often see in people like Aki.

“I don’t wanna push you…” He placed his hand on your knee, softly stroking it. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had to make everything perfect. The thought of disappointing you or making you uncomfortable weighed heavily on his heart.

It wasn't that he didn't trust you or doubted your connection. On the contrary, it was precisely because he cared for you so deeply that he found himself consumed by anxiety. Aki wanted nothing more than to ensure your comfort and happiness, especially in such an intimate moment.
