well im tired of it

[policedefective]

Would you like me to come over and talk?

Or perhaps we can go to the down for other activities.

[colorature]

yeah will you?
im in my nightgown
i dont want to get dressed and go out

[policedefective]

It's fine...

Is your boyfriend there. I wouldn't want to frighten him.

[Yes he would.]

[colorature]

no hes working

[policedefective]

okay i'll be there

[About fifteen or so minutes, a gigantic monster will show up, daintily holding up a bag filled with his clothing and ice cream. He'd bought so many...

It will knock at her door.]

It's me.

[colorature]

_{[It doesn't take her long to move to open the door when she hears him in her mind, dragging her bare feet as she makes it toward the entrance. When she does open the door her eyes go wide, not expecting to see him in his Chiropteran form.]}

That was fast...

[policedefective]

It's faster this way.

[He could potentially arrive around the same time if he changed into Crow but flying over things was rather liberating. He kneels down to fit the door, nearly touching the ceiling before he dumps the ice cream on the table and quickly excuses himself to get changed back to his clothing.]

[colorature]

<sub>[Well, he's not wrong. Diva allows him to go off and change, her attention shifting to the ice cream that's been set on the table. Moving to get spoons she hears Adachi when he's returning and turns around to face him, a utensil in each hand.

There are no bowls because there's no need for them. They'll each be finishing off a tub each surely.]</sub>

Here.

[policedefective]

[Truth be told, Akechi is still surprised that he can tolerate this type of product now, much less eating an entire thing with a spoon and knowing it will be gone and he won't feel sick about it.]

Thank you.

[He looks over to her.]

Are you feeling a little better?

[colorature]

_{[Looks like there are even more benefits to becoming a Chiropteran - you're no longer lactose intolerant!]}

Maybe a little...

_{[She doesn't go for the tub of ice cream just yet. Instead she moves over to wrap her arms around his middle, pressing her face into his chest with a pout.]}

I didn't want to be alone right now.

[policedefective]

[An iron stomach that is technically a bottomless pit! Exactly what he wanted.]

It's a start.

[He's so unused to being hugged by others. There might be a bit of slight panic as he starts to relax.]

I'm...here...

[Trying.]

[colorature]

_{[She can hear the sudden race of his heartbeat when she hugs him but it doesn't stop her from squeezing him around his middle. He's going to have to get used to it - Diva's rather touchy feely, after all.]}

I'm glad you are.

_{[Inhale. Exhale.]}

Even though you've only been mine for a short time...I appreciate the care you've shown me.

[policedefective]

[It is still the weirdest thing. Odd because Akechi had craved for this type of attention, but now that someone uses him as an anchor he is slightly panicking on how to do this. Properly.]

...

[The thing about this too is he know she's being sincerer. It's not an act or someone pulling his leg or using his popularity.]

You're...welcome.

[Nailed. It?]

[colorature]

Mm...

_{[If only Diva knew he'd craved this sort of attention before. As it stands, she's simply needy because she is, ultimately that way.]}

Sit with me on the sofa and eat ice cream then?

[policedefective]

[It's just so weird for him. Maybe he'll get used to it one day.]

Very well. If you want to.

[colorature]

I do.

_{[She rubs her face against him one more time before pulling away to grab the ice cream and head toward the couch. She curls up in one of the corners of the sofa, waiting for him to join her.]}

[policedefective]

[Oh. How odd. The sweet release feels somehow empty. Dutifully before he can think about it, he grabs the leftover ice cream buckets Diva left, and makes his way next to her.]

Any favorite flavor? They'll melt pretty quickly and I don't know any ice spells.

[colorature]

Hmm...

_{[She taps her chin before opening her tub to dig in.]}

I really like strawberry...but chocolate and vanilla are great too.

[policedefective]

Have you tried matcha? Granted I'm not sure if there is that flavor here...it's a type of green tea. Very popular in Japan.

[Making..conversation!]

I did bring chocolate as well along with pistachio.

[colorature]

I've had green tea before but not matcha I don't think, especially not as ice cream.

_{[She jams her spoon into the ice cream, scooping out a nice chunk.]}

I bet Saya has though...

[policedefective]

Well that just means we'll have to find a way for you to try it here, right?

[Ahh yes her twin sister. Funny thing that she's the second person he knows who has a twin.]

But who knows if she really did? We can make more memories here.

[colorature]

Mm, yeah you're right. Is it really special? Do you think we can find some here?

_{[Memories huh? She shoves the spoon into her mouth before moving to press herself up against his side. Contact in any form feels nice right now.]}

We'll have a lot of time to make memories together now.

_{[If Duplicity doesn't take him away from her too.]}

[policedefective]

Well the taste would be nostalgic for me. Have you had shaved ice before? I might be able to do that more easily...

[Ahh this is nice--wait no he shouldn't...ahh what the hell.]

I'm not leaving. Especially not when those other two idiots are around.

[colorature]

I haven't tried it, no. I'd like to though, if you'll make it for me.

_{[The promise of getting to try something new and tasty seems to lift her spirits somewhat.]}

Ah...Ren and Yusuke, right? I still haven't really met Ren. I don't know what he's like.

_{[Yusuke though...she knew him intimately by now, quite literally.]}
