[ This is how Akane has managed to worm her way into his heart with little effort.
She wasn't like Kougami, who'd come into his life with a bang. Who'd played the hero and stolen his ability to tell him no. And she wasn't Masaoka, who had given him space, who loved him enough to die for him and who he'd misunderstood for too long. Instead, she was a constant. A soft pressure; gentle enough to know when to push and when to let go.
Akane was a bright spot, a clear hue that didn't waver. They leaned on each other when they needed it, but Gino knows how this actually goes. He's been leaning on her for support since he's come back to the force. ]
It's nothing; you're welcome any time. [ His smile starts to mirror hers, expression already less severe with the change. ]
