title / she whom he obeys
• akito's gender is based on the anime

empathy. tame. sympathy.

three words that never existed in akito's dictionary in his entire life. someone like him, someone like akito never knew the concept of having sympathy or any human-based emotions in him. someone like akito would never listen to others words.

"akito, let yuki out."

the head of the family ignored his childhood friend's words. he gave her a swift glance before returning to his reading.

"akito sohma." she called out again. "do it or i'll stay with shigure-san outside for a while." she said while being watch by shigure.

it didn't take him long before he stood up. his purple hues never left her small figure standing still in front of him. a rough sigh left his lips before going out, not before retorting to her previous words, "i'm only doing this so you won't leave the inside."

shigure's lips broke into a small grin out of surprise. "that still surprises me every time." he said after making sure akito was out of the sight.

"he never listen to anyone except for you, little girl."

"i'll go check on yuki." she announced, ignoring the older's words. "thank you for accompanying me, shigure-san." she smiled at him, bowing slightly before heading towards the room akito locked yuki in.

"you won't be needing anyone to accompany you to see akito, little one."

"no."

"but akito-"

"i said no." akito gripped on the shreded glass harder with blood from his hands flowing out. "you've been spending too much time with yuki. don't you love me anymore or have you fallen for yuki's prince-ly charm?" he snarled.

"i'm tutoring tohru, akito. stop using that against me. i'm getting tired of it." she snapped. "get yourself together or you no longer be seeing me with anyone from the inside." without sparing any second glance, she spun onto her heels away from him.

akito hesitated to chase after her despite knowing very well she always stays true to her words. he let out a long sigh of despair before running to get her.

he tugged on her wrist and her figure was forced to be pull towards him. he nuzzled his head onto the crook of her neck with hope she'll forgive him. he had his own pride to uphold and apologize is something very...odd for him to do.

"akito-"

"i'm sorry." he mumbled.

the female with [zodiac] spirit exhaled. "saying sorry won't cut it, akito. apologize without a change is manipulation and please acknowledge your mistake before saying sorry to me." she replied before pushing herself softly away from him.

hurt flashed through his eyes and there was a lump on her throat. saying sorry was something difficult for akito to do.

"g-give me time, please." he pleaded. "i'll make it up to you by today but just..don't go to shigure's house." the silent in the hallway was the longest one minute for him before he almost gasped out at the answer "okay"

"i'll wait in my room, okay?" the male with horse spirit nodded his head with a relieved smile on his face.

and that was the first time hatori and shigure have seen the head of the family listen to someone's words.
