"Good. He's doing his job then. And I'd love if you talked to me, whenever we both can though, there's no need to do it all of the time." Josh explained, knowing himself and Akira would have moments where they couldn't really speak, or text, which would be completely understandable.
Glancing at the clock yet again, Josh took a deep breath, his voice a bit lower than before. "We should probably rest soon…but Akira.." Josh looked into his boyfriends eyes, speaking rather slowly, as though what he said should be listened to carefully. "Thank you again." he muttered. What Akira had done was a huge step, even if the man didn't see it, Josh surely did.
"We'll talk more tomorrow. I promise." Josh whispered.
