Aki brought you to a field of flowers of which the people called the 'springs of beauty'
There were many differently coloured women who all had different bodyshapes, hair colours and wore their own types of unique clothing"at spring time many couples will be seen here or even just a group of friends will come here to prove their strong bonds as this field withers when a fake one is sensed" he explained
"it is why its called springs of beauty, it continues blooming even in harsh conditions as long as the bonds are strong. Strong bonds are a type of beauty and give peace to whomever"
You nodded at each explanation "in konoha, strong bonds are rare. Marriage which is known to be for the sole purpose of business ruined any hopes anyone would have in terms of love. There was also a strict beauty standards that women had to follow or else they would be thrown out as prostitutes or kunoichi"
"oh my" aki's gaze softened "and i suppose this is why you are self conscious of your looks?"
You nodded "but it warms my heart to know that at least somewhere in the world i am beautiful"Aki frowned "it shouldnt warm your heart, you should be beautiful everywhere else in the world because many think so" he gestured to your right and you looked there and saw a crowd of people that stopped moving just to stare at you
"women are the most precious creations of god, they are the symbol of beauty and it should stay that way everywhere in the world" he turned away to look at the sun setting
"everyone exists at the sole cause of a woman, a woman brought them in this world and a woman shall accompany them out of this world as well... At least thats what i believe""thats what you believe?" aki turned to look at you
"i believe that every beauty thing that doesnt have a specified gender is a woman, for she as in my god created them. Beauty found in men is the womanly side of them, the side that their mother possibly gave them"He reached his hand over to yours and your breath hitched at the contact
He kneeled on one leg and brought the back of your hand to his lips as he held it with the utmost care"but i also believe that now my god would look exactly like you as you are the symbol of my type of beauty, beautiful heart and beautiful exterior. Your body was formed in the most perfect mold, for as every curve your body carries shall be imprinted in my mind for as long as i will live on and as for you heart, every time it beats mine will bloom as i do not even have to mention your way of thinking, you follow your heart and that leads to an honest woman which is the most beautiful flower in a woman"
He brought your hand to his cheek as he cupped it with both of his hands
"my mother told me that the eyes of a person never lies and by looking into yours- i saw perfection itself. Your being does not dare to lie about its perfection. You are filled with insecurity caused by the wrong and so i shall tell you from the bottom of my heart how mesmering you are as a person. I ask of you to learn the dance of my home as my heart will sway to each move your body will do of the dance. I will not look at your body with lust but rather admiration as i pray to god for having shown me the true symbol of beauty"
Your eyes were wide open as you looked at him talk his mind to you
"konoha might've made it so that each time you look at yourself in a mirroir you see a woman who doesnt fit the title of beautiful but i promise you that each time you visit my home it will welcome you with open arms and reassure you"You blinked a few times before speaking up "aki-san, are you proposing to me?
Aki chuckled "maybe when you're looking for love, you did state that you werent looking for it... Correct?" he pecked your hand one last time before standing up and dusting his pants"are you saying you'd wait for me?" you rose an eyebrow
Aki smiled and opened his arms wide, walking closer to you in hopes of getting a hugYou panicked at the upcoming physical contact and you quickly took many steps back
Aki was a little shocked at your reactionYou opened your mouth to say something but closed it
Your gaze landed on the floor and you started speaking "i am not a good person, i do not like physical contact with men, i do not care about most people, i will not wait for them either. I bite"
It was as if you brought the walls around your heart back up and you enclosed yourself from everything
"i would not be a good wife either, i am not attracted to women and i am afraid of men. Interactions with them scares me and its hard to admit that but i am now. I do not take mean words or insults well, i will lose my patience and talk back... Even louder. I have a hard time loving people no matter if they say nice things to me or care for me"
"i-... You might think of me as perfect but i am a bad person. I am rude, savage even you can say all this but i cannot say it back as i barely even know you"
You inhaled shakily "it is too early for you to say all this about me and im sorry to say this but i do not like you the same way you do for me"
Aki rubbed the back of his neck embarassingly "i am sorry y/n i just tend to talk like this to women i deem attractive even if i just met them"
A feeling of guilt washed over you, you said those were a bit too harshly and you said too much. Just a simple no wouldve been fine but you got stressed out and...
"y/n?"You gave him a bittersweet smile "but, i really appreciate what you said and i promise i will visit you once more in the future once this is over"
A smile of his own formed on his lips "sure, i apologize for the physical contact. I didnt know and i will be more concsious of my actions from now on"
"its alright, just as you said you didnt know. I shouldve told you in the beginning but i never seemed to think about it"
