[ She should know that first and foremost: she's always welcome. Always.
Even before things between them had shifted into, well, this. He trusts her, pure and simple. It feels like it's been so long since he's really felt this way. Kougami will always have some of his friendship and they'll have their memories, but he only trusts the man so far. Theirs is a relationship shattered and glued back together. There will always be pieces missing.
It won't be this; Akane pulling him down with her, fingers tugging on his shirt. Like a good Enforcer, he follows, hands planted above her shoulders, steadying. He presses a less light kiss against her lips, hesitance erasing little by little. His real hand moves down, smoothing the creases of her shirt along her side. She's warm through the fabric, as though her personality couldn't be contained by her skin or clothes. ]
