"I'll thank you anyways." Josh said tenderly, looking at Akira for a moment longer, as though he wanted time to pause for a moment. Closing his eyes, Josh took a much needed breath, opening them up and speaking clearly. "Make sure to say goodnight to Lady for me tonight…and if you ever miss me, just take one of my shirts, wear it and cuddle up into my sheets. It'll smell like me."
Josh cracked a soft smile and leaned in, his eyes shining as he did. "Kiss before bed?" he chuckled, not showing the disappointment of having to leave, but instead trying to make the situation better before departing.
