[ ... That's a sign of a agreement that they have to go to Mayuzumi, but he is also a little hesitant to let go just yet. ]
I love you.
[ When he finally lets go, his face is all watery thanks to his tears, but he wipes them away with his jacket sleeve. He can actually be a messy crier, so Emerald's shoulder has gotten a little bit wet, too. Sorry about that. But... he feels good. Whatever heavy feeling he'd been harbouring since that phone call is gone. There's still some guilt left, but he can actually look Emerald in the eye now.
He's a little shy in taking Emerald's hand this time around, and he's likely not going to want to initiate any contact until he's done sulking. He did something bad, so of course he's going to have a difficult time getting over it. With heat and Chroma flowing thanks to their joined hands, he leads her outside of the bedroom to where Mayuzumi might be. There's not much in the apartment, so it's pretty easy to find him. ]
[ Mayuzumi's relieved to see the two of them approach him hand in hand, even if the signs of their tears is obvious.
It's inevitable that he overheard part of their conversation, but he kept quietly out of the way regardless and waited in the living room; he'd done what he could for the both of them but ultimately they had to work through the problem between them on their own.
[ Ah, she wanted to trap him on the couch.. Oh well. Emerald holds onto Akashi's hand as they head over to Mayuzumi and chooses to sidle up to his side without letting go of Akashi's hand. In fact, she's kind of tugging Akashi so she can have both of them on either side of her if he doesn't fight it. ]
Thanks to you. We're all staying here tonight, right?
[ All three of them. She's not letting go of either of them now. ]
[ Akashi doesn't fight it. He sits down next to Emerald, but he tries not to get too close. He doesn't want to act overly familiar after he's done something wrong to her.
He doesn't voice that he doesn't think he deserves to stay over after what happened, but states another concern. ]
I don't have any other clothes with me.
[ Which is honestly an easy remedy, but... he feels the need to say it out loud anyway. ]
Well...you're...both pretty important to me, you know.
[ Indispensable at this point; as much as thinking about things in a longterm way feels so intimidating, he's starting to have a hard time picturing a life without both of them in it, happy and by his side. He might not be able to fix every problem for either of them, but if there's anything he can do to help things along, he'll do it. ]
And you can always borrow some of mine, it's fine.
[ He slips his arm around Emerald's shoulders, letting his hand brush against Akashi, encouraging the guy to come closer. ]
So...let's stay together.
[ A statement that carries more weight than just their immediate plans for the night. ]
Just skip pajamas. The building has heating, you won't get sick and I'll wash them for you.
[ Emerald is comfortable not wearing much but she knows Akashi is going to go with Mayuzumi's solution anyway. She doesn't mind hand washing if that's what he needs.
She doesn't seem too committed to it since she figures he won't accept her solution, so she closes her eyes to get comfortable. She's fine just staying right here until one of them has to do something. ]
And leave an outfit here so you can always stay with us.
[ He falls silent after that. There's not much he wants to add to the conversation. Not to mention, he's pretty tired emotionally. He doesn't really want to think or argue anymore. ]
I don't think we'll have any problems keeping warm either way, as long as we stick close to each other.
[ Indeed, like this Mayuzumi's already feeling warm, the Chroma generated from the contact between the three of them cozy as being huddled up together beneath a blanket. He hopes it'll help soothe away all the lingering stress from what's been a nerve-racking day, along with the simple comfort this kind of physical contact provides in itself.
He's more than willing to stay huddled together this way, whether on the couch or later in bed until they're all feeling calm and content once again. ]

He stands up now to approach them. ]
I guess you were able to talk things out, huh.
