If you'd like some coffee, feel free to order. I'm still a bit full.

[ But now he's ready to play :) ]

[fabling]

You ate ice cream, Akashi-chan... not a dinner. But fine, fine...

[ Only he orders hot cider, not coffee. Oops.

While he waits for that though, he'll start the game with his. ]

[ CHESS ACTIONS ]

I thought you were going to order coffee?

[fabling]

Nope, I asked if you wanted a coffee. I didn't think you'd want something sweet after all that.

[ MORE CHESS ACTIONS ]

[glorifies]

[ Pfft, okay, now that gets some genuine laughter. ]

Ah, I'm sorry for misunderstanding, then. It's fine, just water will do.

[ CHESS!!!! INTENSE CHESS!! Even though chess is so boring, jesus. ]

Where did you learn how to play?

[fabling]

[ That's... actually pretty nice to hear so he'll only give him a smile (something actually more genuine this time before he tosses a fake one of his shoulder to the counter--probably demanding ayumu or hizumi to fetch him his order. why is he like this.

He'll make another right after of course, barely studying the board SOMEHOW. ]

I taught myself. Why, did you have a teacher?

[glorifies]

[ why is he like this ]

A tutor, yes. I had a tutor for almost every activity you could think of. Chess, shogi, horseback riding, croquet, golf, et cetera. It was my mom who suggested I take up basketball, though. I didn't need a tutor for that one. I just went to school.

[fabling]

[ He lives on through the power of yol(o)t ]

Wow, how fancy.

[ There's a weird smile on his face as he says this though. ]

[glorifies]

[ The (o) looks like a breast. ]

I won't deny my lifestyle is fancier than others from my friends at home. It's why I enjoy going to school. I don't have to pretend to like the finer things in life.

[fabling]

[ Mon??????? ]

So you normally would pretend to like things like ice cream?

[ THAT'S A FINER THING IN LIFE OK ]

[glorifies]

[ I'm an innocent maiden

Akashi's put in an awkward position now, though. Should he laugh, or should... nah, he lacks some tact in some social situations, so— ]

That's a cute joke.

[ ??? ]

[fabling]

[ lol u wish

He blinks back at him now though. ]

Huh...?

[glorifies]

[ WHAT DO YOU MEAN "HUH" don't give him that face!! ]

That was a joke, wasn't it.

[fabling]

Um... Akashi-chan? Why would it be a joke?

[ What face do you want him to give him ;) ]

[glorifies]

It sounded like one, that's all... My apologies, if I misunderstood.

[ this one when akashi is on top of him-- i MEAN ]

[fabling]

Because you're incapable of pretending anything?

[ PUTS YOU ON BLAST ]

[glorifies]

[ . . . Was that another joke? This guy can be so difficult sometimes.

Akashi lets out a thoughtful hum instead and places his bishop at an advantageous point.]

Check.

[fabling]

[ That's the point!! If it were easy, it'd be boring. ]

Mmm... [ He leans back a little, squinting at the pieces then moves another piece to stop that check, at least. ] Akashi-chan really is good at this, huh?

[glorifies]

I'd like to be a professional shogi player, [ He says, then pauses to look at how Ouma might react. ]

Of course, that's not possible because my father wouldn't allow it.

[fabling]

What, and your father is your prison guard or something?

[ He doesn't actually seem to have any reaction to it whatsoever though, even if inside he's pissed off that Akashi is letting his dad rule him like that. Yikes. ]

[glorifies]

[ His father may as well be. ]

No. [ There's a casual shrug of his shoulders. ] He's very strict with his rules, that's all. He's a businessman, and we have a name to uphold in society.

[fabling]

[ Fuck ur father, Akashi. ]

Hmmm. Well, if that's what you want.

[ He keeps his tone light though, a smile on his face as he makes another move (idr whose turn it is now) ]

[glorifies]

You can't every well escape your blood. I'll be fine in the future, I'm certain of it.

[ Akashi places another of his piece by Ouma's king. ]

Check.

[fabling]

[ Can't you? You can if you want freedom enough... So either Akashi is too afraid of living on his own and scrambling through life like that--or he doesn't hate it as much as he says. ]

Hmmm. [ He's not going to talk about it now anyway, because his own memories are potentially false and sometimes it's easy to forget that when his mentality sinks like a ship in the ocean -- right now he's fine though. ]

Aaaah, again?! [ His cheeks puff out. ] I thought I said to go easy on me, Akashi-chan?!

[ No he didn't, but this is probably going to be the last time he can squirm out of it, next time it'll be a Checkmate for sure. ]

[glorifies]

[ Look, his dad might be a pain in the ass but he knows what responsibility is. He also wants that money, tbh. He doesn't hate his situation as much as he hates his father. ]

I don't remember.

[ He honestly didn't say anything about that?? Ouma, please. ]
