[Akashi tucks his hands into the sleeves of his yukata--he couldn't be quite talked into wearing casual wear--and glances at a stall as they pass by. Here we go. He turns his head towards Kuroko as they walk, eyes darting from his friend to the path before them to make sure they don't collide with anyone.]
I'm concerned if this is inappropriate to say, considering our history together. You've clearly moved past it all, and I believe the others have done the same. It brings me joy and pride that we can all be together as we are now. That bond is dear to me.
[He sighs.] However, I'm afraid that's no longer what I want, no matter how hard I try to escape myself.
[He stops walking, and moves in front of Kuroko to stop him.]
Kuroko. The feelings I once had for you have returned, but I believe now I have the maturity to appreciate their complexity. It's become clear to me that my old infatuation with you has grown deeper than that. I'm in love with you, Kuroko, and I apologize for perhaps burdening you in this way.
[He's all cool but soft as hell on the surface, but inside those sleeves he's holding pretty tightly onto his arms.]
Your friendship is what I truly value most. I hope my selfishness hasn't jeopardized that.
