[le_mat]

Here, let me-

[he tilts his head slightly so they slot together a little better. The height is a little awkward, and he has to lean down more than is comfortable. All the more reason to change to something else. The idea makes him grin against Akechi's mouth, feeling giddy to the point of near mania]

[policedefective]

[Goro, meanwhile, wonders if he should push himself into the air a little. Or ask to become taller...it makes him surprisingly self-concious, so when he feels Akira smiling, he briefly pulls away, looking surprisingly vulnerable. Maybe that's why he expects the worse.]

What are you laughing at?

[le_mat]

[Oh... that's cute. His smile softens considerably]

I'm not. Just thinking how this will be way easier once I'm a demon.

[Aka he 100% plans to keep doing this long term]

[policedefective]

[Well, that did confirm he was going to go with it.

Goro can't deny his own excitement at the prospect.]

Just don't disappoint me.

[le_mat]

[He leans back in, resting his head against Goro's, his ears flicking a bit at the other's hair tickling them]

Wouldn't dream of it.

[policedefective]

[He can't help but laugh at that.]

This feels...nice.

[Confusing, but nice.]

Don't think I'll go soft on you, however.

[le_mat]

Mmhm.

[its very very nice. But Akira tenses slightly, his tail flicking]

Good. No matter what all... this... ends up? Don't change. Please. Just... be you.

[mean and bitter and a little insane. All of it]

[policedefective]

[He's silent for a few seconds, pondering those words, realizing the fear that Akira had. Then he grins and laughs.]

Ha! This changes nothing when it comes to that. If anything, it simply means the stakes are more...intense now.

[le_mat]

[oh that sounds like a threat. But regardless Akira just nods, relieved. Yes yes, of course adding this extra layer was just asking for Goro to get possessive and likely even more violent. That came with losing too much too many times.

It doesn't bother him one bit, he finds]

I can accept that.

[policedefective]

Of course, I expect the same of you...

[He goes to reach him, then ackwardly pats his elbow. He's. So. Bad. At. This.]

[le_mat]

[Akira shouldn't be surprised, but he almost laughs. He DOESN'T, but his eyes twinkle with mirth and wrinkle at the corners with it. Full of fire from the kissing, he reaches over and takes the awkward patting hand and places it more firmly on his bicep]

Thanks to Ryuji and Yusuke I'm pretty relaxed when it comes to physical stuff.

[Ryuji's tenancy to fling an arm around him and Yusuke's utter lack of body shame did wonders for getting him used to touching casually. And people in ryslig just seem way more open with that kind of thing. When in Rome...]

[policedefective]

[That is something he'll have to come to terms with. Akechi's face becomes a mixture of surprise and embarrassment. This isn't exactly an area he's touched on - well - anyone. Even if he got curious about what it would feel against Akira lately it just...well...anyway.

Stupid Sexy Joker.]

Should I be taking that as a threat?

[Akechi takes everything as a threat. He still sits there with the hand on the chest, knowing he looks stupid, but too unsure what to do next.]

[le_mat]

Only if you want it to be.

[He grins and steps back, freeing Akechi from embarrassment. His tendrils swipe out to grab their weapons as he goes, hands in his pockets and a light bounce to his step]

I'm gonna go check on the dumplings~

[policedefective]

...Huh.

[Where's the usual piss and vinegar, Goro? Lost in that hand as he watches Akira walk away.

Nooo, come back.]

Are you sure they haven't escaped?

[le_mat]

Well, if they have at least we'll be armed.

[policedefective]

[He tries not to laugh.

After all, this is stupid and dumb and Goro Akechi, despite just having a roller-coaster (rainbow?) of emotions , doesn't like showing too much vulnerability.

But after everything that just happened, it almost feels like a sweet release.

So he laughs. Laughs until tears form in his eyes.]

They might..go right for...right for our mouths!

[le_mat]

[Of course he's heard Goro laugh before. Both the held-back Prince laugh and his unhinged Black Mask laugh.

But this is different. His mouth forms a round little 'o', eyes utterly delighted]

...

[policedefective]

[He finishes laughing and holds a hand to his chest.]

Ha, ha, ha...oww that hurt.

[He hasn't laughed like that in years.]

[le_mat]

.... you should laugh like that more often.

[policedefective]

[He scoffs and walks closer to him.]

Give me more reasons to, and I might.

[le_mat]

I'll take that as a challenge.

[His tendrils slither over and drop the sword into Akira's hands, and he fiddles with it a bit as they walk. He's never actually handled it before]

[policedefective]

Good. I'd already be disappointed otherwise.

[He looks at Akira fiddling with his sword, curious.]

Thinking of swtiching weapons?

[le_mat]

Hm? No, I like using lighter weapons.

[Though his daggers were hefty enough to almost be short swords. He curiously presses his thumb against one of the 'teeth' of the blade, watching blood well up]

I bought almost all the Thieves' weapons, so I got pretty familiar with them. But not your Black Mask ones. Guess I'm just curious about it.

[policedefective]

[Um, excuse you, don't prick your finger on his sword when we're not fighting!]

...well I had a weapon from Amamiya. Something about it being created during an 'red light execution'? It sounded interesting, but I didn't pry at the time. As for this one...I had it made once I understood how the Metaverse worked.

[le_mat]

[His ears perk at the mention of the executions]

I didn't use those very often, but when I did it was usually pretty useful.

[He sticks his thumb in his mouth for a second as it heals]

Makes sense. Looks more dangerous than the laser sword.
