It was nice to see Akira smile so much. On the other hand, Josh also loved to have the chance to smile, to laugh, to have the ability to be who he wanted to be in front of Akira instead of keeping himself guarded by his life and responsibilities.
Trying to look at the tip of his nose, but only making his eyes cross, Josh chuckled and put his hand to his chin, posing for a moment with a smile on his face. “Too bad I can’t keep bubbles on my nose all day then.” he joked with a soft laugh, putting his hand back into the water and looking into Akira’s green eyes.
“Do your legs feel a little better now?” Josh wondered while carefully running his fingers along Akira’s legs under the water, massaging his calves slowly in an attempt to help ease his muscles.
