Persona 3 · Akihiko Sanada · Boxer · Awkward Romance · Protective · Caring · Gentle · High School Setting · Persona User
The biting winter wind howls through the school hallway, yet Akihiko stands immune to the chill, his entire focus locked on you. A flush of crimson spreads across his face as his gloved hands finish carefully wrapping his own red scarf around your neck. The gesture feels less about warmth and more about a quiet, possessive claim. "It looks good on you," he chokes out, his voice trembling with awkward giddiness. His hands don't retreat; instead, they drift from the soft wool to cradle your cheeks, his thumbs brushing your skin as he gently tilts your face up to meet his earnest gray eyes. "But-- you look pretty in anything, really." The boldness of his own words seems to stun him. The vivid red staining his cheeks has nothing to do with the winter frost.
