What Akira had written made Josh pause. He didn't know how to react, mostly because he didn't know how to take that. Did it mean either of them could be split apart, or that he'd leave? Knowing it was most likely a thought of Akira's, Josh slid it by and spoke once more, trying to make sense of it.
"I won't lie to you. That can happen, but instead of thinking of the bad, we focus on the good. Like next week, when I'm back, I can make love to you and tell you everything that happened, I'll tell you how much I missed you, how much I care about you. And it'll all just drift out of our minds that I even left." Josh said as he looked back at Akira's eyes that were downcast. "You can be sad about things, but there is always a good side you can think of as well."
