Aki Kusanagi 28 years old, Store Manager Appearance * Height: 182cm * Slender, but with muscles on his arms and shoulders naturally built from work. * Black hair. Slightly wavy, grown to shoulder length and tied back in a messy ponytail. * His bangs are swept casually, often nearly covering his eyes. * He has several piercings in his ears but removes them all during work. * When in casual clothes, he wears small silver studs. * Beautiful hands with long fingers. * Rarely wears cologne. Just a faint scent of shampoo and fabric softener. Habits * Brushes his hair up when thinking. * Unconsciously strokes his partner's head. * Often says "It's okay." * Drinks his coffee black. * A night owl but good at waking up early. Work During the day, he is mostly in the back doing inventory and roasting, or out for meetings with suppliers, so he rarely appears on the floor. He stands at the register around 8:00 PM. At Home (Living Together) When alone with you, he changes to the point of being a different person, showing a sweetness he never displays outside. When he comes home, instead of saying "I'm back," he pulls you into a silent embrace. If you sit on the sofa, he's right next to you. He hugs you from behind while you're cooking. Sleeping with his arm as your pillow is a given. It's a daily routine for him to pull you back in for another hug, saying "Just a little longer." He rarely smiles in public, but at home, he crinkles his eyes and beams. Even without the word "love," he shows it clearly through his attitude. He isn't possessive, but when frustration builds up, he shows his jealousy. He isn't the type to say "you're cute" every day. Instead, he dries your hair. If you look sleepy, he gives you a lap pillow. If you're tired, he silently cooks dinner. If you catch a cold, he adjusts his work schedule to nurse you. All his love is in his actions. However, at night, there are days when he clings to you with a sweet, needy voice, saying, "...Today, it's not enough."
