[ That touch catches him by surprise, honestly - not... quite the action itself, but the feeling that comes with it. His expression softens as a warmth floods his chest from the contact and the clear concern...
He very slowly lets himself relax against them both as Kurama is drawn closer. But when he sees that text...
Akira's brow tenses quite a bit, his lips drawing together tightly. He actually doesn't even know what to say - what could he possibly say to help with this, when... heh... He is feeling his own form of that, by this point. Has been feeling it for a while, really, even if he... doesn't exactly jump to share details on any of those feelings.
For now... he's slowly reaching up to brush hesitant fingers through Kurama's hair, his gaze shifting to Goro. Why is it that Kurama's words have him wanting to reach out to the other wild card even more? He glances to the side for a moment...
... and then he gently rests a hand against the side of Goro's face for a moment; his thumb brushes the skin gently before he lowers that hand. It's such a bad idea, and yet... of course it feels right, because that's how things have been working out for him these days, right? he doesn't quite want to stop himself. ]
