[Oh you asshole. Stop making him feel emotions, he hates it. They are supposed to be rivals. This is not how it works in the books! ...well actually it does in a few books but that's the minority!]
No puns anymore? As for that...it wouldn't be hard to come up with a few off my head.
Although they can't rule out that Akechi's subconscious may have just made a cry for help and you know Ren, he can't ignore Feelings radiating from deep down in the dark. Don't get mad at Ren for acknowledging them! ]
Whoops guess I lost the game. So hey, that wasn't an invitation for complaint. I'm just not in the business of taking people for granite.
[Stop it with your bleeding heart, Ren. It's a sign of being weak.]
And now you're starting again even after losing. Quite boulder of you.
I'm well aware of that fact.
[Just not that he means him. But somewhere. If you can spot him in the place, you might just very briefly see Akechi smiling. It's gone just as fast, however.]
[ Be careful how and why you mention blowing off steam, Akechi, Ren may end up holding you to that. ]
Easy, tiger. Pretty sure there's a bar with darts and pool, if the latter interests you too. Kinda odd for someone your age to be into darts, if you don't mind me saying. Is there a story there?
I did what I had to do so that they'd talk with me.
[Domination kink Ren. Get it right. Here he was thinking he understand how this whole thing worked and now he just says 'phrasing' like, he's aware why are you this confusing and complicated...]
There's not much polishing to be done, if you handle your stick well.
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. ]

Why, are you petrified?
no subject
Nope, just crushing as usual~
no subject
You do seem to fall hard for others quite easily.
no subject
You haven't complained yet.
[ Akechi probably could have sidestepped that trap if he didn't stringently ignore any signs that someone would deign to fall for him. Whoops. ]

I was playing dead. Against you it's all ore nothing, you know, and that's a proven tactic.
Aware and lacking an opinion? I'm shocked. You're ever so eager to pipe up whether or not anyone wants to hear it.
Though I suspect I know what you think.
[ "You're an idiot for caring" - is he close? ]
no subject
If 'you're an idiot' is what you were thinking then perhaps you're not hopeless after all.
Perhaps, of course.
[An idiot for caring but it's so much better to leave it as an idiot.]
Must we continue this fight of words when it's so much easier to do it with weapons? I've been meaning to stretch my muscles again.
no subject
Oh I'm absolutely hopeless, and don't you forget it.
Never saw a gauntlet that I didn't like. Need to go somewhere and blow off some steam?
no subject
I'm always ready to go blow off some steam.
[Akechi do you even realize what you are writing.]
Do you know a good place that would play darts? Otherwise, I do feel the urge to dispense some well-needed justice in the Down's park area.

no subject
[Is that so?]
I've been known to be able to play pool, yes. Is it really? Perhaps it's simple because it's a fashionable sport.
no subject
Also noted. But it's such a beautiful aspect of my personality.
[ What has he done to suggest that he wouldn't? ]
It is? Whoa, Tokyo is a whole other planet, isn't it.
I guess I meant that it's kinda old fashioned and more of a sport that adults play. Not that I won't play and beat you soundly anyways.
no subject
It's a shame really. Darts measure your patience and agility. I've seen my share of young adults play pool as well.
Please do not disappoint me, regardless.
Give me the address when you are ready.
no subject
Well sure, when folks are off work and itching for some entertainment that goes very poorly with alcohol.
Either way I'm up to the challenge. Don't worry about me.
Sending you the info. If Pidge is bored maybe she can come hang too, if that's okay with you?
no subject
[Akechi you lost last time.]
Well she is good company so I accept your terms. However, you will regret when a ball slaps you in the face from a misjudged movement of you stick.
no subject
[ Akechi has a humiliation kink, confirmed. ]
Phrasing.
All right, I'll get in touch. Try not to polish the cue too much before we even get started.

[ Hmm, you should discuss that with Ren, he's sure to help out. Balls slapping sticks and all. ]
I'll take the expert's word for it. Better yet, show me in person in about fifteen minutes.
no subject
[:|]
Don't disappoint me.

All right, what's the game today?
