His free arm flew up, making a flexing gesture as he continued to hold tight to the rolled up parchment. "My girlfriend said she wanted to see me in the robe, so I'm going to stay in it until we get back to the apartment. I might think about taking it off, then."
The fabric swished as they walked, the brunette leading them both out of the building and clearly making no move to remove the garment. He truly was silly enough to walk around town while still wearing the dreadful thing.
As they made their way through the crosswalk, the insecurity in her voice gave away her uncertainty about visiting his apartment; he had been afraid of this very thing.
He didn't stop and draw attention to this, choosing instead to playfully dismiss the notion.
"My thoughts are as pure and chaste as a saint's, darling." It wasn't actually true by any means, though he wasn't going to allow her to think otherwise. The struggle was a daily thing, but the young college graduate didn't have to think twice to know that making her aware of his issue would only upset her further. "Just call me Saint Akio."
In the meantime, he would simply continue being as playful and ridiculous as he normally was, sans his hidden desires.
"Just pizza and television, beautiful. That's all I want for my special day."
And it was as simple as that.
