[something flickers in Akira's expression. . . something pained and frustrated. he reaches out to take Chuuya's shoulders in his hands, squeezing tightly]

Don't get ahead of yourself. We're not sure that's how things have to play out. And if it is. . . [a breath] Then we'll figure it out. Okay?

[. . .]

I'm not on the gray team.

Whoever "they" are.

[a small exhale, and his grip on Chuuya's shoulders lightens]

How many people have you told about your team?

[Akira isn't asking because he isn't willing to share. quid pro quo!!]

Good. There are apparently real consequences for sharing with too many people at once.

But sharing with one or two a week shouldn't trigger them, so. . . you're okay.

[. . . WOW]

[Akira hisses distastefully]


What, you touch someone and they die? That's it?

[. . . oh]

[jesus christ Chuuya??]


You know you could use that to play dodgeball really well, right?

A dodgeball wouldn't kill me! It'd just leave a really big bruise!!

Okay, okay!

[just. rubs his temple]

Anyway. . .

[and here, he hesitates]

I can nullify any power or effects on one person for up to twenty-four hours.

That's why I wasn't paranoid on Friday.

. . . more truthfully, I used it in case 45 came after me on Thursday night, but it had the effect of nullifying the paranoia completely.

[man]

Sure wish I could use it again now because I still think she might try to stab me in the back.

[. . . a tiny huff, and Chuuya gets a grateful look]

No, it's— it's okay.

I know what it is now, even if it feels natural. I'll be all right.

[huffs a little]

[and, lightly teasing]


Keep saying that and you're going to make a guy swoon, Chuuya.

No promises.
