#missing Akkayan

[tiistirtipii]

Day 125 of missing #AkkAyan and I’m going to get four separate parts out of this one scene so buckle in.

We all already know that Ayan knows exactly how to trick Akk. But as I’ve said before it’s interesting to consider it as Akk allowing himself to be tricked. By ‘trick’ I refer to the little games Ayan plays to get affection from Akk. I’m hesitant to call it manipulation even if it is because Akk is in a way consenting to this manipulation as it allows him to show honesty instead of having to say it. Something we know he struggles with. I don’t at all want to label their relationship as one of manipulation. I see it more as understanding each other to the level where Ayan is exchanging the teasing words that allow Akk to take a passive role (see day 123 and 120) for acts from Akk such as eating dinner together or kisses in order to get more comfortable with them overall. To a point where these exchanges aren’t needed or can grow to become a form of playfulness.

Ayan’s first attempt to get Akk to kiss his cheek very nearly works judging by the stunned and mesmerised look on Akk’s face and the fifteen straight seconds it took him to answer the question. This is when Ayan pulls out the tactic. Slightly different then what’s talked about above and on day 120 this trick of Ayan’s goes for Akk’s honour.

I could talk for longer about the politics behind the translation of the word ‘wife’ but there are many people who have done it far better than I could already so go read their stuff about it.

Anyway Ayan calls Akk his ‘wife’ and the anger that lights up in Akk’s eyes is quite funny. And quite cute. Ayan gives him an option when before his only choice to in a way retain his honour/masculinity was by not giving Ayan a kiss as the things he were concerned about were his position as head prefect and loyalty to the school (and also a bit of his honour as a man who shouldn’t like another man- internalised homophobia yay). Ayan gives him the opportunity to focus on another position he has. The one as Ayan’s boyfriend. The one where the honour comes from being, ‘the only one who kisses.’ And suddenly this task is so much easier for Akk. He’s not thinking about being head prefect he’s thinking about #winning at relationships.

You could go down the path of saying it’s sad this works on Akk. Him doing things for honour is part of why he got into this mess in the first place. But I chose to think Akk is smarter than that. As said before these teases are an exchange. It’s not like he actually didn’t want to kiss Ayan. More like the only way he can reconcile placing his prefect honour aside for a moment is picking up something to take its place- that being boyfriend honour. Which Ayan happily pushes him towards.

Finally Akk gives in and gives Ayan the longest cheek kiss he could possibly pretend to give as if forced to. He really could have given Ayan a tiny peck or the barest touch with his lips but no we all saw your nose get squished there Akk. Ayan felt it too judging by his smile that could light up the whole earth afterwards.

I’ll continue on with this scene tomorrow hopefully but things have been getting busy lately I’ll try keep making these daily but who knows. All i know is that I miss Akk and Ayan. More and more every day.

Ayan’s hugs are so incredibly warm and enveloping. He often looks like he’s the only thing holding Akk up. And that little squeeze he does on the back of Akk’s neck.

Akk & Ayan in Our Skyy (Saison 2 Episode 5)

[tiistirtipii]

Day 123 of missing AkkAyan. I was going to pick a different scene for today but I opened episode 10 to find it and got lost in repeating this beautiful moment. Undoubtedly one of my favourite scenes I’m focusing on just the first part of it for now.

It’s their first day at school as boyfriends and Ayan is ready to use that to his advantage. His claim to Akk has been put into words in a way it wasn’t before. Before it was just two shared kisses and comfort they provided eachother and while Akk still can’t admit his feelings Ayan made it so he didn’t have to, he let Akk ‘allow’ himself to be his boyfriend. Sure he asked a few times and wouldn’t let Akk sleep but that let Akk almost hide behind the pathetic excuse that is he was just trying to get Ayan to stop annoying him. Something along the lines of ‘yeah sure I’m totally only agreeing to be Ayan’s boyfriend so he will let me go to sleep not because he makes me feel happier or safer than anyone ever has haha’ and that technique of Akk’s to hide behind being annoyed is exactly what he uses in this scene as well. When Ayan asks him if he misses him at all, Akk’s answer of, “I did! Happy now?’ Is a great example of the deflection he uses to allow himself to be honest. He did miss Ayan but he can’t just say that, that’s lowering himself to Ayan’s very sappy level and Akk is too cool and too repressed for that. Ayan of course is very aware of this which is what makes it work for them. Ayan can annoy Akk into being honest and see straight past the insults it takes to get to that point to see the true meaning beyond 🥰.

The scene itself is very pretty, it’s no ep 7 island scene but the lighting here is beautiful and in light of (haha) the gorgeous photos we got of First in the sun today it seemed perfect to talk about. Ayan’s face shines as well but I can’t tell if it’s because of the sun or how widely he is smiling and I can’t tell if that’s the sun shining in his eyes of if they’re bright with love and adoration.

There are so many little bits and pieces I love about this scene I’ll just start listing them. The audio work at the start and the way you can hear their shoes along the floor and Ayan’s palm smack against the wall. That paired with the quick cut from Akk looking so confused to Ayan smiling so widely as the audio fades away makes that moment especially rewatchable. It seriously scratches some part of my brain. I love Akk’s eyes the whole scene although I love them in every scene. First’s eye acting is unmatched and the way his eyes soften from concerned to shy has me entranced. The way Akk’s hand comes up to grab onto Ayan’s backpack, failing at keeping Ayan away and instead holding him there. Ayan’s mini pout.

Akk’s seconds of consideration before he admits to missing Ayan, probably when he thinks about the benefits of being honest or just denying it or doing a mix of both as said before. Ayan’s absolutely radiant smiles throughout the whole scene as he gets to act as the mushy boyfriend he has always wanted to be. The way Akk pulls Ayan’s hand off from the wall behind him and Ayan doesn’t even hesitate for a second to place it right back. How he doesn’t care at all that Wat and Kan are coming and continues on to ask for a kiss.

There’s the fact that this scene is the last scene shown in the intro yet technically we never get that exact scene from the intro because we don’t get a shot from that angle and Ayan’s hand looks to be completely behind Akk’s head (stopping it from knocking into the wall☺️) but because that scene was in the intro it was something to look forward to.

I remember early on I couldn’t picture Akk and Ayan looking at each other with that much love and it gave me butterflies to imagine that’s the two idiots on my screen who hated eachother were going to get to that point eventually.

There’s more to this scene but I’ll leave that for another day. I miss Akk and Ayan, more and more every day.

I want to kiss you. Can I kiss you? Of course. I want to kiss you too.
