Feeling that gentle touch under the table, Josh smiled softly and nodded, understanding what he meant by that. Sighing softly, he wanted to desperately kiss the man in front of him, hug him and have a moment to just...lay beside his boyfriend, but Josh held himself back for now.
"I know...and when I come back I want you to be the first person I see." Josh smiled a little more, glancing at the time and then speaking to the others politely. "I appreciate the food, but I'd like to go to my room early...I'm not feeling the best, although Kimberly I must say thank you again."
The young woman waved her hand and smiled. "It's not a problem, you welcomed me so much...thanks, and it was a privilege to meet you Akira, you draw wonderfully." Kimberly said softly. "Harumi said she'd walk me out, so you can go ahead."
Nodding his head, Josh looked back at Akira for a moment, brushing his fingers over his hand and whispering. "You can stay a little longer if you'd like, eat desert and maybe say bye. I just think I should lay down..." Josh said, his voice holding barely any emotion so it was hard to know what he was feeling.
