[ His breath catches somewhere in the back of his throat. Large eyes, the color of amethyst, meet the deep red of Akuki's and then widen. He freezes at the same time one of his hands clasps the bottom of his senior's shirt and curls, tightening into the fabric.
It feels as if time has stopped. Except, perhaps, for the way he can audibly hear his heartbeat begin to thunder between his ears.
Is this alright? Is it allowed? What happens if he kisses back? What happens if he doesn't? He really isn't just teasing him now, is he? But he had also said he wouldn't betray his trust, either. Head spinning, and feeling the color in his cheeks spread through the whole of his system he hesitates for a moment more... before his eyes close, and hesitantly, softly, he returns the gesture, pressing his lips gently against his seniors.]
[For someone who's role in life revolves so strongly around well thought out plans-- this is none of that. It is impulsive, reckless... and yet the risk pays off so sweetly when Crescendo kisses him back. He knows it is more than a show of resolve, of feelings... it is an expression of trust.
Now it is up to him to assure Crescendo that he is correct. That this is not just an act of teasing.
Pale fingers gently reach up to trace the curve of his cheek before cupping it and holding him tenderly as he tilts his head into the kiss. He allows it to linger for a few gentle moments before he pulls back ever so slightly. Just enough to leave room for the both of them to catch their breath.]

Didn’t I swear to you that I would never betray your trust?
