[ In all honesty, even Akechi wouldn't know; his own heart was uncharted territory, and his feelings for Akira have always been far more complex than whatever anyone else might have ever stirred in him before.
So he chooses to tackle them one at a time, and focuses on the present moment. And right now, what he feels is that he wants to make it last a little longer, enjoy this peace and quiet and... maybe more than that. Maybe what he wants is to enjoy Akira's presence, and try to forget that palpable tension that stood between them, once.
(And it's not until right here and now that he realizes he had missed this, the casual talks and friendly banter, and even the comfortable silence over a cup of coffee. He had missed the company. Akira's company.) ]

... Are you not going to join me?
