Someone taught me what I'm making for both of you now, too. There are small ways that it becomes yours, even if it doesn't look that way at first.
[A smile cast over his shoulder, small but true. Back when Sojiro taught him... Maybe he said things like that, too.]
Next time we get together, you can make it for us. I'd like to try your cooking, too.
[Cooking should be shared, so I'd like to share it with you. That's what he'd said to Izutsumi. That's what he feels here, too.
He isn't good with words, or wanting things for himself - except for the times that emotion gets away from him. But this, here, is something that he can do. He can share the meal that he knows best with the two people who frighten him with how quickly they cause him to spill what's in his heart.
It's a recipe that was taught to him by someone that put love and hope into every plate, and sharing that... Well. It's the least that Akira can do.]
