"What is it?" asked Akainu, looking at what Fujitora was eating.
Fujitora had a little mixed salad on her plate, seasoned with olive oil."
"Are you on a diet or what?" Answer, Akainu, confused.
Fujitora raised her eyebrow, surprised by Akainu’s question. "No, it’s not just a diet. It’s also a health issue. The mixed salad is a balanced dish that provides essential nutrients."
"Is it because I said you had belly last time?"
Fujitora frowned. "Yes, you did, but that’s not why I’m eating a salad. It’s about well-being and balance. If I wanted to lose weight, there are better ways."
"Hmm." Akainu landed next to Fujitora looking at the blind man.
Fujitora sensed the presence of Akainu near him and turned towards him.
"Something’s bothering you?"
"Oh no, it’s just that I would have thought you’d be offended."
Fujitora shook her head. "No, I was not offended; everyone has his own opinion, and I respect yours, even if it differs from mine." He continued to eat some of his salad.
"I think your belly is cute."
Fujitora stopped chewing, surprised by Akainu’s remark."Cute? Do you think my belly is... cute?"
"Yes, I suppose." he said, gently pinching Fujitora’s belly.
A slight shock escaped Fujitora when he felt the fingers of Akainu on his stomach.
"Well, well, I didn’t expect you to find that cute."
"Hmm it’s true"
Fujitora tried to hold back a smile as she felt Akainu’s fingers on her stomach.
"Are you sure it’s only my belly that you think is cute?"
"You’re also pretty cute in general."
A smile appeared on Fujitora’s lips, although he tried to hide it.
"I see, so now I’m cute in general, huh?"
"Don’t push it any further."
Fujitora could not hold back a slight laugh upon hearing Akainu’s answer. "All right, all right, I won’t push further for the moment."
"Good"
Fujitora continued to eat his mixed salad, but he could not help smiling. There was something destabilizing in this new affection of Akainu for his belly. As he ate, he felt Akainu’s fingers again on his stomach, but this time, gently, like a caress. Fujitora froze and swallowed with difficulty. He paused for a moment on his salad, his heart beating a little faster than usual. Akainu’s fingers continued their way on Fujitora’s belly, making circles around her navel. Fujitora had trouble concentrating on her salad, the sensations were both confusing and delicious. Akainu had always been a serious and distant person, but at that moment he seemed more relaxed, almost affectionate. Fujitora felt a shiver through it, Akainu was kind to him. Akainu’s fingers lingered a few more moments on Fujitora’s stomach, then withdrew. Fujitora took a slow breath, trying to calm himself. He looked up at Akainu, his heart still beating. Fujitora reached out and gently touched Akainu’s face, trying to capture the features. He felt the warmth of his skin and the contour of his facial muscles. Gradually, the lines of his face were drawn in Fujitora’s mind. He felt a smile on Akainu’s lips, a smile that was both sweet and slightly teasing. Fujitora felt disconcerted by the unusual smile of Akainu. He used to see her face serious and without emotion, but at this moment there was a touch of tenderness and complicity that he would never have imagined from her.
"Everything is always softer with you, Isshou." Akainu whispers, resting his head on his shoulder. "Let me hug you again."
Fujitora felt her heart miss a beat when she heard these words from Akainu. He did not expect this sudden display of affection on his part.
"All right, if that’s what you want," he replied with a slightly troubled tone, feeling Akainu’s head on his shoulder.
Time seemed to stand still while they were cuddling. Fujitora felt the warmth of Akainu’s body against his own and the beating of his heart against his ear. It was a feeling both familiar and new, as if they were discovering each other again.
"That’s exactly it, you’re comfortable for hugs." Akainu himself seemed to agree with what he was saying. " Sweet, soft and gentle, I love you, Isshou."
These words made the heart of Fujitora pulsate as rarely before. He did not expect Akainu to be so expressive in feelings, but hearing these words coming out of his mouth seemed almost unreal.
"I love you too, Akainu," he replied with a smile on his face, relishing the moment of intimacy they shared. Fujitora could get used to some teasing if every time she ended up like this.
