[ He laughs and nods at Akira's first words there. ]

It isn't a bad thing to be called it. It fits how Nico Nico's been towards me, and all I've seen of you has been good.

[ There's a playful touch to his smile at Nico's question - he'll have to wait and hear. The last part from Akira has him blinking in confusion, at first. ]

... Oh.

[ But then he laughs quietly. Cute. Then he looks to Nico with a small smile, even as his cheeks darken over the forehead kiss. ]

Right... Of course.

[ Apollon takes a deep breath and looks up at Akira with a more serious look on his face. ]

I can trust you both... [ he's learning, he's trying ] I'm... in your hands. I'm ready.
