Akira hurried along the next Saturday, not because Kraig was going to use him for free labor but because he'd finally see Yun. They hadn't spoken at all since Halloween and Akira was still mad that he was at Starbucks but hid from him. Besides his invitation, he was radio silent, not even a single meme. 

He pulled open the glass door to Fry's, looking around for a familiar face. No one was there yet, Akira was about to reserve a table in their stead when Kraig appeared behind him, tapping him on the shoulder. 

"Heyo, morning Akira"

"Hey Kraig, how was your class?" 

They sat down at the first table, putting down their bags. Kraig brought out his laptop, so Akira did the same. 

"I didn't have class, teaching is finished for me, yours isn't?"

"That's nice, I have classes for the next 2 weeks, straight until the winter holidays"

"What? That's ridiculous, having classes on the last week of school?" Kraig asked in disbelief, looking over his screen with wide eyes. The blonde's face looked much better than Sunday night, although there were still some small blotches of red. 

"I know right- how's your face by the way?" 

"My face?" Kraig asked, reaching up to touch the side, "Oh, it's perfectly fine now, here feel-" he said, grabbing Akira's hand and rubbing his cheek on it. It really was smooth, despite the red marks.

"Am I interrupting something...?"

Akira jumped at Yun's voice, slapping Kraig on his nose with the way he turned to see who it was. Kraig let go of Akira's hand and grinned, "I resigned from being straight, I didn't tell you?" 

Yun waved his bullshit off, grabbing a chair from another table and dragging it over to theirs. 

"Thanks for noticing, by the way, I didn't even know I was allergic to latex" 

"Kraig, have you never used a condom before?" Yun asked, yawning as he opened his bag and rummaged around. 

"Does it look like I've had sex? I'm just a nerd that happens to be social" Kraig said in a lower voice, pouting. 

Akira stared at him, he wasn't ugly but the joke had to be made-

"It's the bowl cut"

"It's the bowl cut" 

Akira paused, realizing him and Yun had just said the same thing. Yun gave him a blank look then picked up a menu, not saying anything more. Kraig gave them both a sideways glare, "But I like it so I'm keeping the bowl cut, thank you very much" 

They got to planning, ending the meeting some 2 hours later at the coding stage which Akira would take care of. They were using a free template for starters so the coding work was minimal, Akira didn't mind. 

The trio walked down the frozen path, Yun and Kraig were still discussing the website. This was their idea, they were now going to be business partners, which was really cool. It hadn't snowed since last Monday, but the skies had remained grey and dismal until now, shutting out the sun for most of the week. People had begun to put up Christmas decorations and the ice skating rinks were at their busiest. The second snow came down on them lightly but the sky was a dark grey, almost black mess. 

"I'm going this way" Kraig said, stopping at the female senior dorms. 

"God, Kraig, stop being so dense" Akira grumbled to him, eyeing the window that Misha was waving out of, holding up 5 fingers then disappearing. 

"Dense? I am?"

Yun and Akira exchanged looks but Kraig just laughed nervously, "Misha acts that way to everyone"
