He sees them mere seconds later, paused on the sidewalk with their foreheads touching and gazes locked. He's not sure what he was expecting, only that he wasn't ready to see it. The boy is way too close.
The kiss makes something hot twist in his stomach. He keeps himself exactly where he is, a safe distance away, until the cab takes Akaya's company away, leaving him alone.
The smart thing to do should be to walk in the other direction and forget he saw anything. Fuck that. He has no interest in what's wise right now. He's tried that for most of the last two years; there's nothing waiting for him down that road.
Instead, he approaches like any other pedestrian just minding his own business, until he's standing in the same spot Akaya's little friend occupied a moment ago to hail that cab, and he flags one of his own. He doesn't make eye contact.
But if he sees Akaya dare try to turn and walk off from his peripheral vision, he'll be summoning his Captain voice. Just because he's pretending to ignore Akaya right now doesn't mean he'll tolerate Akaya ignoring him back.
