"About time you said something," Ryuji remarked. "I thought I'd have to spell it out to Yusuke."
"Still," Makoto said, her voice trailing off. "How long have you guys known?"
Futaba shrugged. "A long while ago. We noticed you looking at Joker and smiling a lot during meetings."
Self conscious, Makoto covered her face, which began to flood red.
"Aww come on," Ann reassured. "It was kind of cute to see you fawn over him."
"So it's decided," Yusuke spoke up. "Makoto-san will care for Akira while the rest of us wait for him to recover. Hopefully by the eighteenth."
Makoto blanched. "Wait, why me?"
"He's you're boyfriend, isn't he?" Ann asked. "I mean, I'd jump at the chance if Akira were mine."
"I guess..." Makoto bit her lip. She looked down at her boyfriend, who sat there crosslegged, wordless as ever. Though she could never admit it publicly, she couldn't help but think he looked adorable at that stature. "If he's okay with it."
Once again, the entire group focused their sights on Akira, who only kept silent. He was still trying to process the events of today, yet he could think of no other solution than just waiting it out. If leaving Mementos didn't fix it, then he had to just wait and see if it would wear off on its own.
"Okay," he said simply.
"I'm going to pick you up now..." Makoto inched closer. "T-that's okay, right?"
Akira nodded, standing up and moving closer to Makoto's hand. Carefully, he climbed aboard, finding it hard to balance on the fleshy surface. He sat down on the center of the palm and tried to keep his lunch down as he was lifted up to Makoto's face.
"It's getting late. We should get going." Makoto slowly lowered her boyfriend into an empty pocket in her bag. She turned to the others. "Goodnight, you guys."
