It seemed that the years apart didn’t really change Minako that much, she still wore her hair in that bun like always, so he couldn’t really tell if her hair had gotten longer or not— it was still that dark shade of auburn that stood out in a crowd though— that’s why it was so easy to pick her out when she had called his name. Stuffing his fingertips into his back pockets when she had finally made her way over to him, he blinked when she had flashed her own smile at him— it’s been so very long since he had seen it.
" I’ve been well, actually, I had to move more inwards into the city, but I’m glad to be back around Inaba. How’ve you been? It doesn’t even look like the years had it’s effects on you." Unlike Minako, his body stature had become a bit taller than last, and thanks to his tenacious training, his body mass, along with the definition of the muscles along his arms and chest become more well defined— Akihiko grew into it quite well, to be honest. " I didn’t expect to catch you here like this, sorry if I still seem surprised or quiet— I’m just in shock, really."
