[ Akashi doesn't mind the lack of eye contact, but he's boring holes into Ouma by now. ]

Did it work?

[fabling]

[ It's uncomfortable. ]

Enough. Saihara-chan and those left were given a chance to get the answers anyway. Momota-chan and I bought them time, which is better than nothing.

[glorifies]

[ He continues to look at Ouma, wondering what the boy is thinking, but while he's usually able to figure people out, this situation is a bit more difficult in that aspect.

He goes back to his ice cream which has mostly melted. ]

Better than nothing, indeed.

[fabling]

[ To be fair, his face is blank as he talks about this anyway. Not giving anything away. He won't talk about how he can't have any weight on top of him without a panic attack spiralling up. He won't talk about how it feels to be shot in the back, the feel of poison burning your blood.

Instead he gives Akashi a small, sweet smile after a moment's silence. ] That reminds me, Akashi-chan... I have two boyfriends now.

[ What is this change in topic. ]

[glorifies]

[ What is this, indeed. He doesn't look particularly surprised, because Akashi's hardly ever surprised, anyway... ]

Did you only have one before?

[fabling]

Nope, 0. [ He even makes a zero shape with his hand. ]

[glorifies]

I see.

[ He doesn't get it. ]

Congratulations, nonetheless. Who are they, if I may ask?

[fabling]

[ He will eventually. Kaito in particular seems to have an interest in who he knows so. ]

Do you know Saihara-chan and Momota-chan?

[ Are these names even helpful. ]

[glorifies]

No, I'm afraid I don't. There aren't many people whom I know yet.

[ He's not exactly an extrovert, as you can see. ]

[fabling]

[ He's a uselessvert. ]

Well, I'll introduce you sometime, okay? You need more friends anyway, right?

[glorifies]

[ Wow excuse you!! ]

Ah... sure. I'm not sure if I need more, but there's no loss to getting to know more people.

[fabling]

You'd probably get on with Saihara-chan really well actually. You're both pretty quiet and you'd probably be able to play chess and stuff together.

[ He noms another bite. ]

[glorifies]

Is that so? I hope he'll be a worthy opponent, then.

[ Considering no one has beaten him in chess or shogi yet. ]

[fabling]

You have to win against me first, Akashi-chan.

[ Because if anything, Ouma would probably be better than Shuichi given that he was always 2 steps ahead of him in the killing game and all. He manipulated people like chess pieces, anyway. ]

[glorifies]

When we're done eating, we can begin.

[ He's so excited tbh but it doesn't show as much ]

[fabling]

[ That's because he's a robot. ]

Chop chop, then!

[glorifies]

[ Excuse you!! ]

Well then, please excuse me.

[ He's going to dig in and eat the ice cream a bit quicker... then eventually he'll have a hand by his temple, massaging it.

Ow. ]

[fabling]

[ He laughs faintly at that. ]

Not too quickly, Akashi-chan. [ He's going to keep eating his own at a normal pace, just because. ]

[glorifies]

[ He seems just a tad bit embarrassed, but he tries to shrug it off. ]

You saw nothing...

[fabling]

[ C'mon, Akashi... ]

Nope, I totally saw that! You got brain freeze didn't you? Didn't you?!

[glorifies]

No.

[ ... He takes another bite of his ice cream. Then, a soft admission comes. ]

I've recovered.

[fabling]

[ He laughs, that irritating dumb laugh he does and leans forward. ]

That was super quick, Akashi-chan!

[glorifies]

It's not funny.

[ He sighs, but at least he's almost done with his iced meal! ]

[fabling]

Of course it's funny. Stop acting like you've got a stick shoved up your ass and relax a bit, okay? We're here to play a game right?

[ Ouma's about 3/4 through his dessert, meanwhile. ]

[glorifies]

[ He sighs. ]

Right, right.

[ Yeah, he's almost done with his, too. He's actually enjoying DESPITE NOT ACTUALLY FINDING ANYTHING FUNNY ok!!! He doesn't always have a stick up his ass! ]
