When the two arrived back at the base, (y/n) was firmly stuck to Akutagawa's right arm while his left held the basket of gifts. The two were comfortably talking but before they could reach their room, the leader of the gambling group from earlier jumped in front of them. The (h/c)-ette raised a brow.

"Yes?"

"Are you two in a relationship?"

"Yes." deadpanned Akutagawa causing (y/n) to glared at him. She didn't speak on her irritation but cleared everything up. Just when she finished a loud unanimous groan echoed throughout the hall from many hidden angles.

She looked around for the source of the voices though she never found them and the man from earlier disappeared. Disheartened the young woman sighed making her noir friend look down at her and gently wrap his arm around her waist.

"We have a mission tomorrow, you need sleep."

"About that, do you even know what a relationship is?" He ignored her question and almost instantly changed into his nightclothes once they'd arrived at their quarters.

Per usual she groaned at his avoidance and did the same then curled up against his chest to sleep.

The next morning, a light whack to the face sent (y/n) flying out the bed with the guns she'd stuffed under her pillow now in her hand. Her breathing was heavy with adrenaline but it soon calmed when her eyes met those of her attacker. Akutagawa chuckled a bit with a fond stare.

"Good morning." he hummed before facing the mirror and fixing the lace cravat and pendant that surrounded his neck.

"Oh my gosh, did you chuckle?!" The soft smile that adorned his face instantly dropped back to the usual blank expression. While his world was still dark and cruel, (y/n)'s presence managed to make things so much better. Her enthusiasm, spirit, strength and adorable antics almost always made him smile inside but that was something he didn't want her to know.

Because it could so easily ruin things for him. A slight pang of dread hit his heart but her next words quickly ripped it away

"Laugh again."

"Why? There's nothing in this worth smiling about."

"I don't care, i-it's nice to wake up to." Akutagawa turned his back to her and subdued the blush and smile that nearly erupted across his pale features. From behind him, his partner sighed then turned him around so that she could fix his cravat.

"What are you doing?"

"Every time you wear this one in particular. I have to put it on because I gave it to you." (y/n) muttered then began to adjust the lacey neck accessory.

Her delicate fingers worked firmly with the fabric as she stared at it with determination. Unbeknownst to her, the man she was dressing, was staring down at her with fond silver irises that seemed to shine in the dim lighting of the room. 'I love you.' He thought to himself and his hand subconsciously stroked her hair in a comforting manner.

The beautiful (h/c)-ette flinched under the unexpected gesture but soon nuzzled into his hand and continued messing with the lacey garment. After a bit, she'd finished and smiled at her work.

Even though the lace cravat was elegant in itself, the grey pendant that lie in the middle accented it perfectly.

Noticing her look, the noir's lips twitched upwards in an odd but cute smile. It was a little lopsided but the point still got across and that was all that mattered.

"Cute." she whispered causing the room fade into an awkward silence. In fear of making matters worse the two just stood there, their emotions running rampant. (y/n), being the thirsty ass she was, wanted him to pin her against the wall and claim her while Akutagawa wanted nothing but a simple kiss.

After a few more minutes of this suffocating silence, the lovely woman hurriedly slipped on her usual mission outfit and they rushed out the door.
