[He's thinking that right now, but he also feels like Akira will just rebuke an effort to say that. Leader-syndrome, or something like that. So instead, he nods, and then he moves to pull Akira into a hug. Hugs helped the last time Akira was in a bad spot, so maybe they'll help again.]
[Akira, unsurprisingly, goes easily into the hug, and this time he is less surprised by it. with a light huff (the sound is grateful) he leans into it, his own arms wrapping around Chuuya's back]
And hugs are great. Hugs make everything feel like it's going to be okay. And that's what Chuuya wants Akira to feel: that everything's going to turn out alright.
Because it will. Chuuya will make sure of that.]
Y'know, it sucks right now, but the fact that it hurts means he was important to you, yeah?
[And this time, he'll actually let his hand go up into Akira's hair and do the scalp-massage-thingy. He's found that to be really helpful at keeping people calm.]

[he knows this and he believes this, with all of his heart. it's just. . .]
[. . .]

. . . I know.
