While his arms were around Akira, Josh looked at Alice, giving her a look that just read he had no hard feelings towards her. It wasn’t difficult to make Akira feel uncomfortable, so he knew it mustn’t have been her fault completely.
When Akira let go, Josh looked at him, noticing how fast he did it, showing that it was most likely because of the other people in the room and not because he actually wanted to stop.
“You okay?” Josh asked Akira, looking into his eyes and holding one of his hands before clearing his throat and looking back at Alice.
“We’ll only be here for a few short hours, I don’t think Akira can take much more, and I found a stray cat that I’m taking care of, so I’ll have to check up on her later.” Josh said as he took a seat back down onto the couch and pulled Akira gently down with him.
