I'm not really worried. You're... an incredibly loyal person, Yusuke.
[akira sees no reason not to address that directly, too. it's the truth; all of the phantom thieves are loyal and trustworthy—and akira treasures that in every way.]
I trust in you.
[oh. the words come out with a quiet contentedness; there's really no doubt that akira means what he says.]
It's enough to make Yusuke fall completely quiet. There's even a small tinge of pink high in his cheeks as he looks intently at passers-by (this is a ruse he is not looking at all).
What? It's fine not to talk on occasion. So what if he's experiencing a significant tightness in his chest and a heat in his throat (you're feeling things, yusuke) he's fine and not sick.]
usually, yusuke has something to say, even if it's just an eccentric sort of response. but akira isn't used to that kind of... non-response, so he tilts his head to look over to yusuke more properly, and—]

...Yusuke? [is he okay?]
no subject
[What is wrong with him??? Yusuke wonders.]
I believe I was overly touched. Words escaped me for a moment.
[Yes, that must be it. Reassured by his own logical conclusion, he glances to Akira and smiles.]
no subject
I didn't realize I said anything touching.
[mostly because he didn't think his sentiment of trust would be perceived that way by yusuke, but it's fine.]
no subject
I suppose that's how naturally it comes to you...

...I guess so. Huh.
[he still seems almost a bit puzzled by this, but it's fine.]
