Nick was still feeling insecured. Afterall, legally Aki was still the partner of Christopher. They remained silent in the car ride, Nick continuing to imagine all kinds of wild things, all the scenarios involving Aki turning to christopher.
It was a long ride. Nick was plagued with all kinds of thoughts, he didn't notice how long they had been on the road. When he recalled that, Aki was already squirming around, clearly in need of a bathroom break. "Aki do you want a break?" he asked, looking around, fianlly realising it had been 3 hours since they started driving. Aki should need some time to stretch his legs way earlier than this. "i'm sorry... i was preoccupied."
Nick looked around wanting to find an oil station, but the nearest one was 30 minutes away. he bit his lower lip and decided he could just pull up the car by the side. "I'm so sorry Aki..." he said, stopping, he hurried over to help Aki down.
then it hit him - maybe Aki was so worried about Christopher he kept silent even if he physically needed the break. this just reinforced Nick's wrong concept about Aki's priorities, and the young man continued down the spiral of desperation, getting sadder by the minute.
