[ Akashi doesn't say anything, but just takes the spoon with a smile. It would be best if the soup didn't spill onto the blanket, but if it did, then he can wash it away with Dunamis easily.
He scoops a spoonful of the tomato soup for Emerald and places it close to her mouth with his free hand ready to catch any drippings. ]
[ Akashi's not the most excellent at cooking despite being great at everything else. He can at least follow a cookbook, unlike a certain green haired shooting guard, so he's pretty confident that what he made is edible. Whether Emerald likes it or not is a different story, though. ]
[ he could be a crap chef and she wouldn't really care, she'd still eat it. But she does like it. Maybe it's because it was made with loooove. Or bc tomato soup isn't super hard as long as you don't oversalt it so even Akashi's medium cooking is good with it. ]
That's good. I would hate for it to not taste good when you requested for it.
[ Akashi doesn't like being left behind. He may not have been friends with Mercury, nor did he like him, but it sucks being left behind. Maybe he's taking this a little too seriously, or maybe he feels like Emerald's way too hurt and sad that he has to pamper her like crazy. ]
You know you don't have to be good at everything with me, right?
[ She doesn't really know if he realizes that. Like.. he's constantly "on" with everyone else, so maybe he should know. ]
I want you here whether you can make good soup or not. [ He's not used to not being perfect at everything.. and she teases him a lot, but when it's something that he's not actually perfect at, she has no intention of making him feel bad about it. ] You let me come home with you when I needed you. That's all I needed.
[ What a strange thing to say. Akashi looks at her as if she just said something he's unable to believe. It's not that he doesn't believe her, but it's not something anybody has ever told him before. Not even Miu told him something like this, and he's not quite sure how to process it.
It's why he stays silent for a while. His hand remains on the spoon, set next to the bowl, and if Emerald wanted another bite, she sure isn't getting it any time soon. Then, when he thinks he's thought of a response, he says: ]
I made it for you. If it's for you, then it has to be good. I won't accept anything less.
[ Akashi takes a moment before nodding. He believes her. If she says it's good, then he's happy because she likes it. That's the most important thing. ]
[ He looks a little embarrassed now. He's shown some confusion and the spoon he's holding has gone too cold. Not frozen or anything, but it's as if the spoon was left in the freezer for some time.
He gets up to grab another spoon from the kitchen, then sits back next to her and places the spoon on her right side. ]
[ She'll eat with a cold spoon, she doesn't care. It'll warm up in like two seconds, it's soup. but she doesn't complain more than that and instead pulls the soup over to her to start eating it in earnest. ]

Is the other spoon a family heirloom?
[ She takes the new one but lmao?? AKASHI ARE YOU OK??? ]
no subject
[ Well, she can, but then she'd know he made it cold. It's not worth lying about though so he ends up saying so, anyway. ]
