Akio was unsure what to think, watching the other’s reactions to his words. He seemed a bit surprised, while at the same time grew a bit dark and still confused. Akio worried a bit that his words were still only doing more harm than good. He felt bad, knowing that in doing so, he was opening himself up more than he already was. Dorian finally spoke his eyes closing as he took a step back from him. Akio frowned lightly at this, watching him. He spoke that Akio would not be sleeping in the dungeons. Akio only nodded at this, not wishing to push him more than he already was. He hesitated then, and Akio stood there in the silence, wondering if he was alright. When he spoke again, Akio knew the words must have taken a bit to say.
He did not wish to see him harmed or conflicted? Akio blinked a bit, looking at him. He said that he would have considered finding safety elsewhere if it were possible. Did that mean he did not wish fully to let him go…merely because of the job? Or something more. He did not speak, not asking what he meant. He continued on so that saying this was their best option and he had already arranged… His pause made a slight lump grow within Akio’s throat. Arranged what? He said that he would be the one who would be handling him tomorrow, to ensure the smoothest trial free of that man. Akio was a bit relieved, but at the same time, he could not hold back that there was a slight bit of pain that the other had been so quick to already make such a decision.
Had he planned to tell him? Or just pop in when the time came. He wondered then once more who it was truly for...to save him the pain, or the other’s satisfaction. He pushed the thought away, he did not truly believe that Dorian was doing it for some sick and twisted pleasure or to cause him more harm. His eyes on the other than, he noted movement. Blinking, he was once more moving close, raising a hand. Akio noticed the slight hesitation, not moving from where he was as the other moved his hand up to brush his fingers along his cheek. He then smiled, and commented on…his clothing? He tilted his head a bit in curiosity, before looking down at his own appearance.
Indeed, they had chosen something that matched his skin, hair and eyes well. He half thought still that it was mostly for Dorian’s pleasure than his own cleanliness or such. But seeing the other happy and pleased with it made him smile, he did not mind. His hand rose, gently laying over Dorian’s on his cheek. “I am glad that you like it…you as well look…” he paused, trying to find the right words without sounding bad or something. The other looked nice as well, he had noticed it before. He realized that he was letting this little tidbit slip with his words, which made him advert his eyes a bit. He gave a slightly embarrassed chuckle. “You look nice as well” he finished his thought, choosing the safest route for now, as to not make it awkward more than it already was possibly.
He looked back at Dorian though, after a moment. Looking at the way he was dressed, his features. Akio paused in thought a bit. He was handsome, and did indeed seem more humane than other demons he had met. Weather it was intended or not, the other seemed to both be conflicted by, and enjoy it. He preferred the other enjoying it though. He found himself taking a slight step closer to him as silence spread between the two of them. His eyes on his, he did not notice that they were very close to indeed being pressed against each other. His hand lowered from the one on his cheek, as his other lifted to lightly once more rest upon Dorian’s chest. He opened his mouth for a moment as if to say something, but decided against it, slowly closing it moments after.
