How would Akashi react if he was a part of an arranged marriage? (As a kid or teen)

The arranged marriage had not been his idea. In fact, the younger Akashi
had had absolutely no say on the matter, for it had been a settled deal
long before he’d even been aware of it. This fact disgruntled him
thoroughly, knowing that there was one more aspect of his life he could
not control.

His tie felt a bit too tight around his neck, almost as if it were trying to constrict him from breathing altogether. His fingers pried at the knot sitting at the base of his neck, fixing to loosen it just a hair. Anyone looking at the scene would think that Akashi was doing the action out of nerves, but those who really knew him would know it was simply because of his discomfort; Akashi didn’t get nervous. Not even when he was meeting his future fiance for the first time.

The bundle of roses he had in his other hand, wrapped nicely in plastic that had little hearts printed in a pattern all around, had been picked out by his father’s staff. If he’d had a choice, he wouldn’t have shown up with anything that had thorns sharp enough to draw blood as he carried them around. He probably wouldn’t have shown up with anything at all.

First impressions were everything in the world that he lived, hence the smart getup and beautiful present, but in reality a marriage made from money had no good first impressions to be made. He couldn’t care less how he looked to his future spouse.

“Really? Roses for Valentine’s Day on our first meeting together?”

And apparently, neither did you.
