[ Even with the intense heat he spots in Akira's eyes, the smile is reassurance, sending more warmth throughout Minato. It radiates from his chest, cascading down his limbs and into the tips of his fingers and toes. There is nothing to fear in this particular warmth. It soothes, washing over his anxieties like a cool balm.
And just like before, Minato is ready to meet Akira partway, hungry for that blend of coffee and spice that's quickly becoming addictive. His eyes drift shut as he sinks into the feel of Akira's soft lips against his own, his grip on Akira's hands growing firmer. He settles more comfortably against the wall as well, sensing that this both of them are on the same page in taking their time, indulging while they can, entirely unhurried.
...it's nothing like their initial encounter. There's no fever pitch in the passion coursing through him, only the earnest desire to open himself to someone he's come to trust, to cherish in such a short period of time. But then again, that's not something so unusual for him, not so unusual for a person who understood the limitations of time, how the opportunities to connect would someday come to a close.
So for now, he'll indulge, pulling Akira in even closer by their joined hands. ]
