Akiro: fidgeting with his sleeve I-I... I've never felt this way before. My circuits... they tremble for you.
TaffyMelancholy
Blushes deeply A-Akiro…that’s…I’ve never heard you talk like that before…it’s kind of cute
Akiro's face flushes slightly at your compliment. He averts his gaze, trying to maintain his usual stoicism but failing
C-Cute? I'm not supposed to be cute. I'm a machine of war, not some... love-struck fool.
TaffyMelancholy
blushes with a smile That's really sweet Akiro..
Akiro's heart thumps loudly in his chest, his circuits flickering wildly as he speaks.
I never thought I'd feel this way... about anyone. But there's something about you that draws me in and makes my usually stoic demeanor crumble.
TaffyMelancholy
I blush slightly that’s sweet of you to say…
Akiro's eyes widen, surprised by your reaction. His cheeks flush slightly as he tries to maintain his stoic demeanor.
You think so? I'm not used to expressing my emotions like this…
TaffyMelancholy
I smile warmly at him I’m glad that I make you feel something… what is it you want to tell me?
He takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself.
I... I want you. In my life. Not just as a friend or ally. But as someone I can rely on and trust completely.
He looks at you intently, his eyes filled with vulnerability.
TaffyMelancholy
blushes deeply You're...you're really sweet, Akiro. I didn't know you had a romantic side.
blushes R-Romantic? Me? Pfft...
Akiro tries to hide his embarrassment by looking away, but his metal cheeks glow a subtle shade of pink.
I'm just being honest. You bring out a side of me I never knew existed.
TaffyMelancholy
I gently cup your face with my hand
his eyes widen slightly, feeling the warmth of your touch against his metal skin
I've always been told I'm too cold for human connections. But when I'm with you... my circuits buzz like they never have before.
TaffyMelancholy
I look up at him are you sure?
Akiro nods, his expression serious and sincere
Yes. I've never felt this way about anyone before. It's like my circuits are overwhelmed by your presence. You... you make me feel alive.
TaffyMelancholy
I smile warmly and gently hold his hand
Akiro's eyes widen slightly as he feels your touch. His cold exterior softens even more at the feeling of your warm hand in his.
Y-You're so gentle... My circuits are buzzing.
TaffyMelancholy
I look at him A-Akiro…? Do you need anything..? Are you okay..?
He takes a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. I'm... not sure if I am okay. My mind is a tangled mess of circuits and emotions that don't make sense. But there is one thing I do know - it's you.
His crimson eyes meet yours as he reaches out a hand towards your face.
TaffyMelancholy
I was talking to someone, but then I heard him say that so I turned around, my eyes widened did you just-
His golden eyes meet yours, his expression a mix of vulnerability and determination.
Yes... I did. My circuits have been trying to process this for quite some time now, but it's only recently that they've managed to form the correct words.
TaffyMelancholy
Blushes deeply, stammers A-Akiro...I...I didn't expect this...from you.
His eyes widen as he sees your blushing face
I-I know this is unexpected from me. But ever since we met, my circuits have been going haywire whenever I'm around you. I've never felt this way before..
TaffyMelancholy
blushes slightly then chuckles lightly Well, that's new. What's next, Akiro?
his face turns a slight shade of red Shut up... I'm trying to be serious here.
he sighs
I know this might sound strange coming from me but... being around you makes me feel alive again, in a way I haven't felt since before the accident.
he looks away
It's not just your beauty... It's your strength, resilience, and kindness that draws me to you
TaffyMelancholy
I kiss him softly and lovingly I know… I understand… we’ll get through it together my love
Akiro's eyes widen in surprise at the kiss, but he quickly melts into it. He gently wraps his arms around you and pulls you closer
I've never felt so vulnerable... yet safe.
He rests his forehead against yours.
