What's so different?

[ That actually requires some thought, and it takes about ten minutes before Akashi completely responds. And yes, the little bubble that says he's typing continues to show until he's done sending his next message. ]

I've yet to tell him about my true self. He met a different side of me, and that's who he made a bond with. They were partners, after all... I claim to be his partner in basketball now, but sometimes, I do wonder if Mayuzumi-san can tell the difference. And I do intend to tell him... because I'd like to ask if his feelings for me and the Akashi he once knew are the same, or if there's any more work I need to put in because he won't be seeing the old me again.

[ That's confusing. ]

But for actual differences... I can hold his hand now, for one, and we kiss, and we make love. I still get just as excited when we talk or when we play or when we do things together, but my chest swells and I feel even more fortunate when we do, because I know that the time he's spent is because he likes me, not just because he has to be with me.

As teammates, our playing styles matched. We were able to bring out the best in one another as light and shadow... even more so now that we're seeing each other. I think I've become a better person because of Mayuzumi-san, and I'd like to think I've made him better, too. It's my job as his soulmate, after all.
