But he doesn't say it, too fascinated by the characters inscribed on Akashi's skin. He leans in to examine them more closely, not really paying attention to the distance between them closing to border on the intimate in the process; it doesn't matter that he's seen these plenty of times in real life and on tv, it's entirely different when it's his name. He's never felt his heartrate speed up like this in response to seeing the strokes that make up his name's kanji before, that's for sure.
Of course, that may also have to do with the realization that he should be reciprocating. ]
Yeah, mine's...uh, inconvenient to show you here.
[ He's way too fast to move onto answering Akashi's question. ]
About soulmates, though? It's just how the world works, I guess. You don't choose whose name you get just like you don't choose who your family is. If you're that type, I suppose it's a romantic thought to have someone out in the world you're connected to by destiny that's supposed to be perfect for you.
[ Mayuzumi doesn't know about calling it love at first sight like they do in fiction, but already Akashi's face and hair and wrist and the sound of his voice and all the rest of him's burned into Mayuzumi's mind. He can't pretend that he doesn't find Akashi intriguing and highly attractive on a purely physical level; the temptation for Mayuzumi to wrap his fingers around Akashi's wrist and pull Akashi closer or press his mouth to his inscribed name, the sign that Akashi's meant to be completely and rightfully his, does exist even if he isn't acting upon it.
Even if so much else about Akashi's still unknown territory... ]
But fate is what you make of it too, isn't it? Destiny links people together but the rest is all really up to them.
