Not yet, but they have in actions. As stoic as Asami is, I think he shows it more (showing up wherever Akihito is, fireworks display, ruffling Akihito's hair in public, personally picking him up from Hong Kong, etc) since we don't get to hear his thoughts like we do Akihito's. I'm hoping they say it eventually.

Do you think they understand? I think we readers understand and can read their feelings in their actions but I don't think it's as clear to Asami and Akihito. I think there's still some uncertainty for both of them that would be cleared up if they'd just say something concrete. Communication has been a problem with these two from the start.

yeah i noticed they've already came this long with the story without saying iloveyou to one another but i noticed its more of asami showing his affections to aki.. just that aki is kinda stubborn and deny it, but its good that hes supportive to asami he just dont know how to show it. Im also glad hes so humble without being fascinated with the status of asami and use it for him to climb to a higher status, he didnt desire any of it for that i love him as he is, and thats what asami love's about him too. Asami x Aki forever!!(๑•ㅂ•)و✧

right on the spot, but they trusted each other which is enough to hold them together, aki is hesitant to open up tho he kept denying even when Asami asked him if he was jealous he just brushed it off while walking away brushing ahahahah it was cute. Lets home the next chapters they will be able to talk as @INeedYaoiSurvive said communication is important

Well, option option 3, would never happen, he won't give up Aki to anyone, not even to a girl. As for option 2, Asami won't lock Aki up because he wants Aki by his own will. When Aki ran away from Asami and after he came back he said to lock him up in his house if Asami wanted to. And Asami got angry so its clear Asami wants Aki to stay with him out of his own will. As for option 1, I think he won't let Aki get close to a girl in a romantic sense. And moreover, I think Aki is too caught up with Asami, he doesn't have anyone else his mind except for Asami. Asami will never let him go, he said, 'If you betray me, Ill track you down, even to the ends of abyss".

Aki is more like, he doesn't completely submit to Asami. He even feels like he gets sucked into Asami's world of darkness. Aki is stubborn and has got his pride as a man and he refuses to be looked down upon, that's why he struggles to get on top. He doesn't want to lead an easy life. I admire that about him. And obviously Asami also loves that side of him. But they really ought to communicate more, Aki can get insecure at times.

What makes you think they're not real lovers?

Also, check the expression on Asami's face when he thought Akihito got shot,
