Josh felt slight regret run through him when he saw how Akira reacted, not wanting him to feel bad, or obligated, even worse if the idea of wearing it bothered him that much. Taking a deep breath in, Josh ran his fingers along the side of Akira's neck and spoke once more.
Parting his lips to speak, Josh stopped and kept quiet for a moment, not saying anything else. For the time being he allowed Akira to think, despite the high possibility of them being negative.
