Woof. Strike what I last said from the record. Too gross to consider.
Just wait for me.
[ The gradually warming weather since the cold snap waned offers some optimism in their trying times living within Duplicity. Ren is relieved not to have to bundle up everyday, and when he arrives he picks his way through the semi dense clusters of people and tables looking like a guy on the brink of collegiate freedom: a jersey shirt, relaxed jeans, and open, asymmetrical jacket that looks to be a deep red leather, almost maroon. No glasses today thanks to seasonal allergies making life hell, but Ren's face lightens when he makes it over to the spot Akechi staked out.
He steals a sip of Akechi's drink for good measure, Dominant bracelet jangling when he sets it back down. ]
All right, what's the game today?

[It's admittedly not a bad look for him. In fact, Akechi might have actually given him a true and real positive comment for a change if the asshole hadn't decided to help himself to his drink. That's like, rude as hell? Acting all proper and dominant is just pissing him off already.
So one could say game on.
Akechi for his part is wearing an ensemble that tethers between being fashionable and the type that makes you wonder if he's going off to chauffeur someone after this, gloves and all.]
You can take the drink, I'll order myself a new one.
[That's not an answer to his question. However considering he quickly goes off to get a pool, it's no question what he wants to play, polished sticks and all.]

[ On Ren's way to the Down to collect Yusuke, he's got a little time to kill on the transport. ]
Don't do that.

Whatever do you mean?
[Also who are you to even decide what HE does.]

> You cannot send a message to this user because they have blocked you.
[He's not used to this. Normally he'd tell the person 'that's too bad' or 'stick your chin up' but with Diva...it's become more complicated. And so;]
Do you need me to take care of someone.

Believe me, if I had killed him I would be gloating.
No, it looks like the idiot left us to fend for ourselves.

[It's 2AM and Akechi is still up and looks at it. The sound of someone visibly gagging can be heard from his room.]
That's disgusting.
That's disgusting.
We should hang out and get coffee.
[That's it. No hello or build-up. Just that.]
[That's it. No hello or build-up. Just that.]
[Uhhh this is sort of sudden and raises a bunch of flags.]
Any particular reason why?

[Delivered to Akechi's residence is a large royal blue wrapped box with a huge bow. Inside there is coffee machine, a whole slew of k-cups for said machine, a mug, and blue wrist watch. Of course, there's an accompanying card.]
Merry Christmas to Goro, my darling new Chevalier!
I hope when you check the time you'll think of me.

Since you did ask nicely I might entertain the thought. What is it that you want?
after Ren's return & Yusuke is attended to ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
[ Not to be outdone by his rival suddenly growing a sense of tact and leaving Ren to Yusuke's (understandably tight) clutches, the afternoon some hours later sees Ren carrying in the remainder of both of their possessions from the Down. A little worse for wear, but a happy kind of consternation is writ in small script in his expression: an upturned corner of the mouth, a lazy softness replacing the normal sharp vigilance in his eyes. Relieved, in a sense, not because he's stuck here in Duplicity again, but because his friends are still here, still remember, still embrace Ren's presence wholly. Or, as wholly as Akechi ever embraces anything, he guesses.
Maybe as a means of assuaging his guilt for making Akechi wait, Ren stopped by Leblanc to whip up a peace offering. He places the takeout container on the counter and shoulders off the bag, looking around for signs of Akechi's presence. Did he stomp off? He's done it before. ]
I'm home!

I'm home!
[Oh no, he's been 'busy' relaxing in a bath and totally using up all that time he said it would take for him to get the papers properly sent in. When he senses Ren's presence, he's busy reading a book in his own room (the bed feels a lot nicer), a large number of apples next to his bed stand. A lot of apple cores in the garbage can next to it as well.]
You're back awfully late. That's more than two hours.
[Technically not all that much but, well...it's Akechi.]
Did you leave Yusuke in the Down so he can catch his wits?

[If Akechi's felt an unshakable unease lately there's a reason for it - Diva's been in a mood, but at least she's justified. Rafa had left her, after all, and while Tsurugi had comforted her she still can't help but dwell on details when left alone. Why not bother Akechi then? He's obligated to answer.]
how do you stop thinking
how do you stop thinking
[He has been feeling like shit, eating more than usual.]
I'm afraid it's near impossible to do. We are the victims of our own minds.

[Yusuke why are you like this...he'll hear a groan coming from Akechi's room.]
Well it's better than the Spaghetti hair, one supposes.

Is that what the both of you engage in behind closed doors?

Surprising....I was speaking to Diva a few days ago on that regard. She gave me a list of a few people I could pursue. I suspect it may be easier for you, however.
Truthfully, I'm only doing this before they start hounding down on finding one.

Thank you for being worried, but it should be others you should be worried about. I'm fine, if a little hungry.
I did enjoy the fighting :)

Not really, no. Feet are made for walking.

[ When Akechi gets home he'll find that Yusuke and his shared room is absolutely filled with flowers. Laying on the shared bed is a surprisingly modest black box. The inside contents consisting of a very nice, high quality pen along with a refillable leather-bound notebook in a dark coffee color.
Naturally, a card is included. ]
To Akechi-san,
Congratulations on your birthday! Consider these gifts my coming to ring the bells of blessing! I am your very own Wataru Hibiki... ☆
The very moment I laid my eyes upon these in the store, I knew they were meant to be yours. Turned out your birthday was just a skip away! Next thing I knew, I had already purchased it! You should take care not to be satisfied with only this as I've got quite the dinner plan prepared for you this evening!
Sincerely, the one and only, Wataru Hibiki.

P.S.- Lilies represent happiness and positivity while the yellow roses symbolize joy, friendship and new beginnings. All things I wish for you now that you are another year older and entering adulthood.

[What the hell, did he die and get buried when he fell asleep? The smell of the flowers wakes him up and how did this guy even manage to sneak in this many with his own hearing? Must have been a good sleep...
He does, however, appreciate the notebook and pen. For someone who he knows for so little time, he does seem to 'get' Akechi and what he likes.
Eventually he'll get dressed and go to meet him.]
I should have expected such theatrics from a man such as yourself, but even you seem to surprise me. [A pause because he has to really think to say this;] Thank you.
[CHERISH IT.]
I think Yusuke will appreciate the flowers.

Dear Detective, what would you say is your favorite food?
[ For reasons. He can only hope Akechi won't be as dodgey as SOME of his Submissives. ]

[The hell is this for? Well, he'll answer it truthfully.]
Truth be told, I never had a particular taste that completely enticed me. When I maintained a food blog, I was able to sample all types of food. Flavor never was important to me.
I am fond of excellent coffee, however that is a drink and not a food persay.

What did he do to you?

Me taking forever so I can use a computer vs a phone to write proper prose

I see...you've felt her?

I can't tell if that's a rhinoceros caterpillar, water bear or another bug. Where did you see it?
