The mafioso inhaled deeply, chewing the inside of his lip as he formulated his thoughts together before speaking, and looked the detective in the eyes.

in his own mind, Akutagawa thought there to be no place for matters of the heart. he knows the stories, and thought them to be nothing but ridiculous. however, things change when he meets the one person who pisses him off to no end, triggering a dangerous chain of emotions, and realizes that he's also his soulmate of all people. (just when he thought Fate couldn't get any crueler.)
